St Mary's Church, Iffley

Heritage Open Day: Talk and guided tours of Iffley’s almost unaltered Romanesque church, and a new gateway between the church and its historic surroundings. The church of St Mary the Virgin, Iffley is described by Pevsner as ‘one of the best preserved twelfth century churches in England’. Its wealth of carved stones and curious, thought-provoking detail create a place of extraordinary beauty and peace. It stands above the River Thames just over a mile downstream from Folly Bridge and is still surrounded by ancient farmhouses and fields. Thanks to the new gate between the churchyard and Court Place Gardens, visitors can explore the historic connection between the church and the river.

Visitors are encouraged to enjoy Geoffrey Tyack’s talk on The Architecture of Iffley Church from 2.30-3.00.

Volunteer guides will be offering informal tours from 3.15-4.30.
