What To Expect
Carfax Tower
Starting right in the centre of Oxford at Carfax Tower, this is the only remaining structure of St Martin’s church. The tower is just over 23m/74ft high and it’s a point of reference for architects, as no building is allowed to be taller than this. Look for the quarter boys and listen to them hammering into the bells every 15 minutes. Carfax is an unusual name, let your guide explain what it actually means.
Tom Tower
Walking down Saint Aldate street passing many shops and The Town Hall takes you to Tom Tower. This is a great chance to look into the Tom Quad of Christ Church college. Built by famous architect Christopher Wren in the late Gothic style, even though at that point it was many centuries out of date. Find out who or what Great Tom is, also the difference between Oxford time and Greenwich time.
