St Mary the Virgin, Iffley, Norman church in Iffley, England.
The stone structure of St Mary the Virgin displays rounded arches and intricate carvings characteristic of Norman architecture from the early 12th century.
Founded in 1101, the church later served as a central location for University of Oxford functions, including lectures, treasury operations, and library services.
The church interior contains medieval wall paintings that illustrate biblical narratives through detailed artistry and religious symbolism of the period.
Located two miles from Oxford city center, the church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.
The stone pillars within the nave bear marks from 1556, when platforms were constructed for the historical trial of Thomas Cranmer.
