Thames channel and St Frideswide, from Osney Town bridge
Osney Island and West Street with the Hollybush pub are on the left bank; St Frideswide on the right. In fact the land on the right is also islanded, by the channels of the Bulstake Stream.

St Frideswide, Osney, Oxford: south side
"Typical [S S] Teulon in its ruthlessness", wrote Pevsner. The south transept shown here includes a vestry blocked from the crossing inside the church by the organ. From this side the squat tower, which never got the spire intended for it, is further obscured by the round chimney turret.

Link to the rectory
Never seen one of these before, I presume it's a linking corridor to the rectory so the rector does not have to go out in the elements.

Osney Ditch
Flows off Bulstake Stream and links back up with the Thames. It's what makes Osney an Island and causes the bad floods it has.

St Frideswide?s Church, New Osney, Oxford
Viewed across the A420 Botley Road. The Anglican church's website states that the building was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon of Westminster and built by the local firm of Honour & Castle.
It was consecrated and opened for public worship on April 10th 1872. Frideswide (c650-c727),
an English princess and abbess, is the patron saint of the city of Oxford and of Oxford University.

St Frideswide, Botley Road, Oxford
The brick walls of the interior of St Frideswide's have been painted over: a pity, since the architect, S S Teulon was a master of polychromy in brick or stone. This roof vault in the low crossing tower is the only exposed brickwork inside the church and suggests that the patterning under the paint would be worth seeing, although the colour scheme is fairly muted.
