At the northern end of Longwall Street (a road that runs along the west side of Magdalen College) Longwall Street becomes St Cross Road. This redundant church, adjacent to Holywell Cemetery (off right) is still known as St Cross Church but now houses Balliol College's Historic Collections Centre. It can be accessed by researchers 'by appointment' and by members of the public on Open Days. The chancel is C11th or C12th and the nave is thought to have been built c.1160. The tower and aisles were added in the C13th century and the upper stage of the tower rebuilt in 1464.
