The tower commands some of the finest views of Oxford's famous skyline. It is worth the climb of 127 steps to make it to the top to enjoy fine uninterrupted views in all directions across Oxford and the surrounding countryside. The Church Guide Book indicates the major buildings to be seen. The tower opens with the church, except on Sunday, when it opens at 11.45 am, after the morning service. Last entry to the tower is 30 minutes before closing.

Here you can buy a guide book explaining St Mary's architecture and history, postcards, local guide books, typical English gift items, as well as books and objects with a religious theme. You can also find the books written by St. Mary's clergy and CD recordings with the University Church Choir.
