Heritage Open Day: The church will be open for you to visit and we will serve drinks and refreshments. St Ebbe’s is one of the oldest churches in Oxford. Christians have been meeting together for 1300 years. St Ebbe is depicted in ancient glass in a window on the south side of the Church. She was the daughter of Aethelfrith, king of Northumbria, and sister of the Northumbrian kings, Oswald and Oswy. There are other interesting features of the church including the Norman door which may date back to 1087.
