There are thirteen entries for Oxford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP5106/oxford/] [accessed 10 November 2016]; two of them mentions a church in each. The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 4, 1979) notes: "The church, in Alfred Street, was said to have been given to St. Frideswide's in 1122 [...] In 1298 the parish was united with the neighbouring one of St. Frideswide's, St. Edward's becoming the church of the united parish. [...] The last recorded presentation to the vicarage was in 1340; the church had certainly been closed by 1428 and probably by 1388". Oxfordshire History [www.headington.org.uk/oxon/high/tour/south/alfred_street.htm] [accessed 19 June 2012] notes that St. Edward's was destroyed ca. 1500]. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font from this disappeared church].
