St Cross Church, Medieval church in Oxford, England
The stone structure of St Cross Church combines a late 11th-century chancel arch with a nave constructed around 1160 and a 13th-century tower.
St Cross Church origins trace back to 1050, making it one of the earliest religious buildings in Oxford that survived through different architectural periods.
The church building now functions as the Historic Collections Centre for Balliol College, housing medieval manuscripts and administrative records from 1170 onwards.
Located at the intersection of St Cross Road and Manor Road, the church stands near Holywell Manor and Holywell Cemetery in northeast Oxford.
The building maintains its Grade I listed status while operating under a 999-year lease to Balliol College, which holds occasional services in the chancel.
