Salford, Oxfordshire

St Mary's Church

The church was originally Norman but was re-built by the Oxford Diocesan architect, and Gothic Revivalist G.E. Street in 1854.

 The south elevation .


The fine stone font dates from the 12th century….


…as does parts of the north and south doorways. Above the north doorway is part of a Norman tympanum with a central Maltese cross flanked by a lion and a centaur – the latter representing Sagittarius, the Archer.


A final view of the north elevation.
