oxford-3-180614
St Mary's in Newnham Murren, a peaceful spot by the Thames along a lane which leads nowhere much. St Mary's dates from the early twelfth century. The chancel arch is Norman; the chancel roof is sixteenth century. The panelling of the pulpit is Jacobean, and to the right there is a rather unusual horseshoe-shaped squint.
The church is no longer in use but is preserved and kept open by the Churches Conservation Trust.
