St Gregory & St Augustine's church.
"The parish of SS. Gregory and Augustine – traditionally called “St Gregory’s” for short – was established in 1912. It lies to the north of the Oratorian parish of St Aloysius, and includes in its boundaries the village of Wolvercote. St Gregory’s has many literary connections: former parishioners include Graham Greene, the poet Elizabeth Jennings, and J. R. R. Tolkien; Monsignors Ronald Knox and Vernon Johnson also came here as visiting preachers. The church, which is Grade II Listed, was designed, in the Flemish Renaissance style, by one of the leading architects of the Arts and Crafts movement, Ernest Newton." - Fr John Saward, parish priest.
