St Peter-in-the-East, Oxford, Norman church in Oxford, England
The St Peter-in-the-East church features a stone structure with a nave, chancel, and crypt, displaying Norman architectural elements from the 12th century.
Built around 1140 under Robert D'Oilly, the Governor of Oxford, the church takes its name from S. Pietro in Vincoli in Rome and its position near Oxford's East Gate.
The church transformed into St Edmund Hall's library in 1970, with its north churchyard becoming a garden featuring a bronze statue of St Edmund.
The crypt remains accessible through scheduled visits accompanied by a College Fellow, offering visitors a view of its fifteen groin vaults and Romanesque design.
The north window contains glass from both the 14th and 15th centuries, donated by vicar Vincent Wyking in 1433.
