St Michael at the North Gate, Saxon church in Cornmarket Street, Oxford, England
The church features a prominent stone tower constructed in 1040, making it the oldest building structure still standing in Oxford.
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded St Michael at the North Gate as a property owner of two houses in medieval Oxford.
The church maintains its position as Oxford's City Church, where the Mayor and Council participate in official worship ceremonies.
Visitors can climb the tower through narrow stone steps to reach the top and observe Oxford's central district from an elevated position.
The church preserves the original door from Bocardo Prison, where Archbishop Thomas Cranmer was held before his execution in 1556.
