The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Iffley is a Church of England parish church in the village of Iffley, Oxfordshire, England, now absorbed as a suburb of the city of Oxford.[1][2]
History
The Romanesque church was built c.1160 by the St Remy family, probably financed with funds from the de Clintons of Kenilworth Castle.[3] The Early Gothic east end was extended in c.1230, when a cell was constructed on the south-side for the anchoress Annora.[4][5]
The building has not been changed too much over the centuries, retaining its round-arched windows and doorways.[6][7] It is Grade I listed. The church includes a stained glass window by the 20th century artist John Piper.
