Church of St Peter-le-Bailey, Victorian Gothic church on New Inn Hall Street, Oxford, England
The Church of St Peter-le-Bailey features Gothic Revival architecture with memorial brasses, carved masonry fragments, and an oil painting depicting the Sacrifice of Isaac.
After its Norman predecessor's tower collapsed in 1726, the church was rebuilt in 1740 and later relocated to its current position in 1874 due to road expansion.
The chapel contains multiple memorials to the Chavasse family, including an oak cross commemorating Noel Chavasse, who received two Victoria Crosses during World War I.
The building now functions exclusively as St Peter's College chapel following the 1961 merger of its parish with St Ebbe's due to declining local population.
The oak and limewood reredos, completed in 1929 by FE Howard, illustrates important events from St Peter's life as a tribute to Edith Chavasse.
