Légende

Iffley Church, 1845. 'This beautiful specimen of Norman and early English architecture, situate at a short distance from Oxford, has lately been restored...Great care has been taken to preserve the architectural character of the interior details - especially in the fine zig-zag moulding...The Norman portion is remarkably well executed: it has a groined chancel, three fine door-ways, and a handsome west end. We trust that the interest which has been excited in behalf of the preservation of this venerable monument of the piety of our ancestors will not be allowed to falter; but that the success with which a portion has been restored, will stimulate the lovers of archaeology and the public to aid the promoters of the good work in its completion. The yew-tree...is denizen of the churchyard, supposed to be coeval with the church itself. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
