This famous landmark of the City of OXFORD is called Carfax Tower as it is all that remains of the 12th C church of St. Martins which was demolished to make way for the growing traffic. It has the name Carfax in recognition of its position sitting at the junction of four main streets right in the heart of the city. It stands 74 feet tall and is the standard by which no other building can be built higher. It has 6 bells and they will be ringing out for ST. GEORGE on April 23rd.
