Official Dreaming Spires and Splendid Ceilings of Oxford Tour

<p>This brand new tour will open the doors of the most important ceremonial buildings of Oxford University to you. You'll see inside the Sheldonian Theatre where all Oxford University&nbsp; students matriculate and graduate - or are conferred their degrees! With its magnificent painted ceiling, inside the domed roof designed by Christopher Wren (as a practice run for St Paul's Cathedral!) it is not to be missed! You can also climb the 100 steps to see the splendid view over the Dreaming Spires of some of Oxford from the shelter of the cupola. (If you don't wish to climb, there are Guide books to view that will show you pictures).</p><p>Moving on through the Old Schools Quadrangle of the Bodleian, you will go inside the most beautiful building of all Oxford, the Divinity School. Here you can see the spectacular stone carved vaulted ceiling, built in the 15th century and used originally as the Examination Hall (back in the day when exams were 4 days long and all oral).&nbsp;</p><p>Finally visit the University Church of St Mary the Virgin (if there isn't a Wedding on!) where all University ceremonies took place (if it's not in use for Weddings or other special services) - and see the bloodied ground outside it where once the Town Gown battles raged. View Radcliffe Square and the iconic Radcliffe Camera from close up, on foot with your expert Guide who will explain the traditions and mysteries of academic life in Oxford.</p><h4 style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bolder;">**If you have any difficulties with 3D booking online please call us on +44 1865 686 441 or email officialtours@experienceoxfordshire.org**</span></h4>
