Proceed to the end of Jowett Walk… There you will see one of Oxford’s forgotten treasures, St. Cross Parish Church.

​

Built on an ancient foundation… Make sure you take time to visit the adjoining St. Cross Cemetery… you can find the resting place of Hugo Dyson, Austin Farrer and Charles Williams… also Kenneth Grahame, author of The Wind in the Willows.”

​

This 12th-century church, once the parish of Holywell Manor, now houses Balliol College’s Special Collections. The surrounding cemetery is one of Oxford’s most atmospheric places.
