St Michael at the North Gate

About

St Michael at the North Gate is a church in Cornmarket Street, at the junction with Ship Street, in central Oxford, England. The name derives from the church's location on the site of the north gate of Oxford when it was surrounded by the Oxford city wall. Since 1971, it has served as the ceremonial City Church of Oxford, and has joined the parishes of the two earlier City Churches with its own.

The entire tower is accessible to the public, including the top which provides a view of the city as well as an original clockwork mechanism.
