St. Marry Church Radcliff square
University church St. Marry the Virgin in Radcliffe square (Oxford, UK) was used from the early 14th century by the university for meetings, examinations, degree ceremonies and to house its library, treasury and archives. Begun in 1320 it's two story Congression House (which faces Radcliff Square) is the oldest existing University building in Europe. It was in this church too that the Protestant bishops Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley were tried to heresy in 1555/56 before being burnt at the stake in Broad Street. (most of the information written here was from the information board in the Radcliffe Square)
