More about Iffley Oxfordshire
Iffley is a village in Oxfordshire, England, within
the boundaries of the city of Oxford, located between
the estates of Rose Hill, Cowley, and Donnington, and in
close proximity to the River Thames (Isis). Its most
notable feature is its original and largely unchanged
Norman church, St. Mary the Virgin, which is home to a
modern stained glass "Nativity Window" designed by John
Piper. Largely untouched by modern housing developments,
the village remains a desirable place to live, and this
is reflected in its relatively-high house prices.
The ending of the name, of this tiny town near Oxford,
means "cleared ground": the Saxon term for that was "ley"
-- just up the road from modern Iffley, the town of
Cowley preserves the Saxon ending and meaning in its
name, as well.
No records of the foundation of Iffley have been found:
an estimate of the date is c.1000-1050 AD. The reason
for the founding is clear from the location: Iffley has
a little hill, and so is the first place downriver from
Oxford from which traffic on the Thames might be
surveyed, and controlled -- and where people might be
safe from floods --
During the 12th century Oxford townsmen built a water
mill at Iffley, which was purchased by Oxford's Lincoln
College in 1445: the mill burned in 1908, having
survived for nearly 800 years. Products ground at the
Iffley mill included malt, barley, corn, and other
cereals -- for a brief time during the 15th century it
was a fulling mill.
In 1156 Iffley was among the holdings of the Norman
family of St. Remy, until about 1200. They established
Iffley as a parish, and built the parish church, "in
size and decorative splendour out of all proportion to
the place."1 The manor was owned by many, thereafter.
The Archdeacons of Oxford were given the right to
appoint the parish priest in 1279: they held this until
1965, when the power was given to the Dean and Chapter
of Christchurch, the Oxford foundation which is both a
college and a cathedral.
