The Saxon Tower of St Michael at the North Gate is nearly 1000 years old and is Oxford’s oldest building. Visitors who pay to go inside the tower can see the Prison Door of Martyrs, an exhibit of church treasures which includes Elizabethan silver, John Wesley’s pulpit, William Morris’s marriage certificate, and a 19th century chiming clock. The tower also offers spectacular views across what Samuel Johnson referred to as the “city of dreaming spires”.
