Iffley

Iffley is a small village within the boundaries of the city of Oxford, located between the estates of Rose Hill, Cowley, and Donnington, and in close proximity to the River Thames (Isis). Its most notable feature is its Norman church, St. Mary the Virgin, which is home to the modern stained glass "Nativity Window" designed by John Piper. Largely untouched by modern housing developments, the village remains a desirable place to live and this is reflected in the relatively high house prices.
The village of Iffley has given its name to Iffley Road in east Oxford, and to Iffley Stadium, the athletics ground where Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile. Template:Uk-geo-stub
