OXFORD - The Parish Church of St Frideswide

By Annie
I have  lived near Oxford for 10 years and never been into this church until two weeks ago.I go past it on the bus but it is seems to be alwaysclosed.  Until one day two weeks ago, I was helping my friend at the Bed and Breakfast and had an hour free.  There was a BEE FESTIVAL , being held by the Friends of the Earth , Oxford Branch. We need to protect our BEES!! We need the British Government to stop using Bee Harming Pesticides. They are actually illegal within the EU !!  We are in the EU , so they need to listen. No BEEs means NO Food ,
OXFORD - The Parish Church of St Frideswide From the outside it looks unfortunately rather dull , gray and closed. But once inside I think it is amazing.  St Frideswide's church   The church is dedicated to the patroness of Oxford, St Frideswide. 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. It was originally intended for the church tower to have a spire.
