Oxford No. 27/ Oxeneford

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, then called a chapel, was granted in 1122 to St. Frideswide's priory, [...] which remained patron until the closure of the church in 1525. [...] The church was closed and demolished in 1525 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey to make way for the great quadrangle of Cardinal College, and the parish united with St. Aldate's." [NB: 'Cardinal College', later to become Christ Church College after Wolsey's fall from grace in 1529 and subsequent death a year later]. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
