The Carfax Tower is the remains of the church of St Martin which was demolished in 1896 in order to widen the road and improve traffic flow. The tower was renovated following this and visitors today can climb the 99 steps to the top of the tower which offers some wonderful views over Oxford. There are two figures known as “quarter boys” on the front of the tower that strike the quarter hours. On the second floor of the tower is an exhibition on its history.
