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, which stood on a site later occupied by the front quadrangle of Lincoln College, was granted to St. Frideswide's priory in 1122. [...] the church was suppressed in 1427 for the foundation of Lincoln College." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here; Loncoln College Chapel does still offer baptism services in it: "The College Chaplain is very happy to prepare current fellows, staff and students for baptism or confirmation in the Chapel. This usually takes place during full-term. All services are conducted according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England."
