Iffley : St Mary Virgin

One of the finest Norman churches in the country, St Mary’s was built about 1170 and has undergone few alterations. The simple plan consists of nave, tower and chancel. There is much fine beak-head and zigzag carving, both within and without. Note particularly the decoration on the west and south doorways.
