TOURIST ATTRACTIONS & SIGHTSEEING, PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Great St. Mary's, which overlooks the market place, plays an important role in university and civic life, in addition to its duties as a parish church. Building began in 1478 and Henry VII himself gave 100 oak trees to construct its roof. The upper galleries were added in the 18th Century, with 123 steps leading to the top of the bell tower, which offers an excellent view of the city.
