Oxford's University Church of St Mary the Virgin reopens




Oxford's 13th Century University Church of St Mary the Virgin has reopened following a £5.5m restoration.
The medieval building - which boasts Oxford's tallest spire - has undergone its biggest renovation since the late 19th Century in a two-year project.
Works included cleaning stonework, restoring the Clore Old Library, chancel and nave including 15th Century stalls, and improving access.
The church, which attracts 300,000 annual visitors, reopened earlier.
