BRIEF HISTORY
St. Giles’ Church has a very long and interesting history. It
is a medieval church, which was originally situated outside the borders of Oxford, dating
back to A.D. 1086. Oxford is an historic town, and St. Giles’ certainly adds to the
mystery of the ancient town. A full history of the Church, taken from a book by Leslie
Wood, is available by clicking the link below.
St Giles lived in the 7th
Century.
