The lovely Great St Mary’s Church is located on Trinity Street, in the city centre. It is the city’s main church, and is also the adopted church of the University so you may also hear it referred to as University Church.

Great St Mary’s Church is open to the public daily, but opening hours vary according to day and time of year so do check in advance. Admission is free.

The church was first built on the site in the 11th century, but the building you see today dates from the 15th century. It was built in the Perpendicular style and the interior is noted for its spacious atmosphere.

Today the church is a popular tourist attraction for you can climb up to the top of the church tower for some excellent views across the city.
