Tubney : St Lawrence

This is the only Protestant church designed by Augustus Pugin (1812-52). The new church, built for Magdalen College Oxford, was designed by A. W. Pugin and dedicated to St Lawrence, was consecrated in 1847. The interior fittings were designed by him and remain unchanged, including a font given by Queen Adelaide (d.1849)
