All Saints Church, Baroque church in High Street, Oxford, England
All Saints Church stands on High Street with English Baroque architecture featuring Corinthian pilasters, ornate plaster ceilings, and a prominent central tower. Eight bells hang within the tower, which dominates the streetscape.
The church was founded in 1122 and suffered the collapse of its spire around 1700. The current structure was completed in 1720 following Dean Henry Aldrich's design.
The building transformed from Oxford's City Church to Lincoln College's library in 1975, preserving its architectural elements while adapting to educational needs.
The interior serves partly as Lincoln College library with some areas open to visitors. Daytime visits offer the best chance to see the decorated spaces and learn about the bells.
The bell tower has been cared for by the Oxford Society of Change Ringers since 1734, who perform intricate ringing patterns during special college events. This centuries-old tradition of skilled bell-ringing continues without interruption.
