St Frideswide's Church, Gothic Revival church in New Osney, Oxford, England

St Frideswide's Church features pointed arches, decorative stonework, and a tower constructed by the local firm Honour & Castle in 1872.

The foundation stone was placed in 1870 under the supervision of architect Samuel Sanders Teulon, marking the beginning of Victorian religious architecture in west Oxford.

The church nave contains the Alice Door, carved by Alice Liddell, whose connection to Lewis Carroll inspired Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Grade II* listed building remains active for religious services and maintains facilities for visitors, including restrooms and informational resources.

Initial architectural plans included a spire for the church tower, but this element was never constructed during the final building phase.
