St Frideswide's Church is a Church of England church on the south side of the Botley Road in New Osney, west Oxford, England.[1] The church is in the parish of St Thomas.[2]
The church is dedicated to the patroness of Oxford, St Frideswide.[3] It was designed by the 19th-century Gothic Revival architect Samuel Sanders Teulon of Westminster, London, built by the local firm of Honour & Castle. The foundation stone was laid in 1870 and the church was consecrated on 10 April 1872 by John Mackarness, the Bishop of Oxford.[4] It was originally intended for the church tower to have a spire.[1]
In the nave is the "Alice Door", carved by Alice Liddell, a daughter of Henry Liddell, the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, made famous through Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.[2]
Immediately to the west is Osney Ditch.
