Climbing Carfax Tower,Oxford 4K 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Carfax is at the junction of St Aldate's (south), Cornmarket Street (north), Queen Street (west) and the High Street (east) in Oxford, England.It is considered to be the centre of the city. The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". The Carfax Tower, also known as St. Martin's Tower (it is the remaining part of what was the City Church of St. Martin of Tours) is a prominent landmark and provides a look-out over the town.
St Martin's Tower, popularly called "Carfax Tower", is on the northwest corner of Carfax. It is all that remains of the 12th-century St Martin's Church and is now owned by Oxford City Council. It was the official City Church of Oxford,where the Mayor and Corporation were expected to worship, between about 1122 and 1896, when the main part of the church was demolished to make more room for road traffic and All Saints' Church in the High Street became the City Church for 75 years. All Saints then became the library of Lincoln College, and St Michael at the North Gate became the City Church.
The tower is 74 feet (23 m) tall, and no building in central Oxford may be built higher than it (a rule broken by the Blavatnik School of Government).It is a Grade II listed building.
The tower still has a ring of six bells: five recast from the original ring by Richard Keene of Woodstock in 1676 and one cast by Keene two years later.They are rung on special occasions by the Oxford Society of Change Ringers.
There is a clock that chimes the quarter hours on a pair of bells cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough in 1898.The clock's current dial and surroundings were designed by Sir TG Jackson and installed in 1898. In 1938-39 the clock mechanism was replaced with an electric one made by Gents' of Leicester.
It is possible to climb to the top of the tower for a view of the Oxford skyline.[8] The tower is open 10am-5.30pm Easter to October, and 10am-3.30pm October to Easter.

I am truly concerned for your health. It is quite obvious from your breathing under light stress that your body is badly out of shape, and probably you are overdue for heart attack, stroke, possibly both. Seriously, if you want to live a longer and healthy life start exercising and change your diet, NOW. Good luck.
