St Francis of Assisi CE Church

Heritage Open Day: To view the features of the church. The church was built in 1931; architect was Lawrence Dale. Unique features are the painted beams depicting scenes from the life of St Francis together with the elaborate decoration of one of them to represent the “Hymn of Creation”, painted by Mr L Davenport, an instructor at the Oxford School of Arts and Crafts, and a very interesting hanging cross, designed by A Hawkesley, symbolising the fragmentation of the world drawn together in the Cross of Christ. Lord Nuffield gave the site to the Parish of Cowley, and there is a William Morris trail between St Francis and St James, Beauchamp Lane.
