University Church of St. Mary the Virgin
University Church of St. Mary the Virgin Review
Seven hundred years' worth of funeral monuments crowd this church, including the tombstone of Amy Robsart, the wife of Robert Dudley, Elizabeth I's favorite. One pillar marks the site of Thomas Cranmer's trial under Queen Mary for his marital machinations on behalf of Henry VIII. The top of the 14th-century tower has a panoramic view of the city's skyline. It's worth the 127 steps. The Vaults Café and Garden, a part of the church accessible from Radcliffe Square, serves generous portions.
