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]
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 much over the centuries, retaining its round-arched windows and doorways. [6] [7] It is Grade I listed. [8] The church includes a stained glass window by the 20th-century artist John Piper and another by Roger Wagner.
