City Church, Church building in Oxford, England
The City Church is Oxford's official municipal place of worship, currently located at St. Michael at the North Gate since 1971. The building serves as the setting for religious ceremonies connected to the city's administrative life.
The City Church began in 1122 and moved several times as the city's needs changed over centuries. It occupied St. Martin's Church at Carfax first, then All Saints Church on High Street before settling at St. Michael at the North Gate in 1971.
The church serves as the official place of worship for Oxford's mayor and government officials during formal ceremonies. It remains central to the city's civic religious life today.
The church is located at St. Michael at the North Gate in central Oxford where regular services are held. Check ahead before visiting since the building functions primarily as an official municipal space rather than a standard parish church.
The church has witnessed nine centuries of city history through its moves to different locations as Oxford's needs changed. These relocations reveal how the city itself transformed and adapted through time.
