Historic Buildings in Oxfordshire

Carfax Tower
Oxford, Oxfordshire
The Tower is all that remains of the 13th century St. Martin's Church. If you are fit (or simply determined) a climb to the top of the 74 foot high tower is rewarded by an excellent view over central Oxford. Look for the clock on the east side of Carfax. It is a copy of the original church clock, with mechanical figures called "quarterboys" which hammer out the quarter hour on bells.
Oxford, Oxfordshire, England,
Location: conjunction of St. Aldate's, Cornmarket, Queen, and High Street in central Oxford

Great Coxwell Barn
Great Coxwell Barn Great Coxwell, Oxfordshire
A monastic barn dating to the 13th century. William Morris called Great Coxwell Tithe Barn the finest architecture in England, and when you see the massive roof timbers you will be inclined to agree; this is a Cathedral of tithe barns!

Minster Lovell Hall and Dovecote
Minster Lovell Hall and Dovecote Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire
Located in a picturesque position beside the River Windrush in the lovely village of Minster Lovell are the ruins of this 15th century manor house, home of the Lovel family for centuries. The manor of Lovell was once in the hands of the crown, and appears to have been granted to the Lovel family by Henry I prior to 1124. The manor holding passed through a succession of Lovels until John Lovel (d. 1310) was created first Lord Lovel.
