Iffley (Oxford)


 I happened to be visiting the Church in Iffley near Oxofrd last week and while there took a few photos of the village near the church. Iffley dates back to before the Domesday book and you can read a little on the village in the link.





Walking through the churchyard you pass this house that backs onto it, may well have been the rectory






From the churchyard gate you look down the road through the village called Church Way





where you can see this thatched building



There are a couple of doors leading into it which is now used as a church hall it used to be the Parochial School 
the second door tells you it was the Infant School established in 1854 so it was divided into two schools
 Looking further down Church Way



Iffley Glebe




This looks like come conserved area for the local people to use
Mill lane passes a building called the Vestry and the one in the distance I passed by in the churchyard.
Nice little village full of history
