St. Bartholomew's Church Yarnton Oxfordshire

Late in the 18th century Alderman William Fletcher of Oxford, who was born in Yarnton, gave St. Bartholomew's six alabaster reliefs carved by a Nottingham sculptor in the 15th century and said to have been found during excavations near St Edmund Hall, Oxford. Four of the panels now form a reredos in the chancel. In the 1860's the other two were transferred to London: one to the British Museum and the other to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The windows of St Bartholomew's nave contain many examples of 15th and 16th century stained glass. A few of these were made for Yarnton, but most came from elsewhere and were given by William Fletcher between 1812 and 1816.

Street Art Jericho Oxford.

You need to be fit to ride a laden pedicab, and bizarrely, it's probably easier if you aren't a cyclist.

Contemporary Art

My impression of the Bio Chemistry Building South Parks Road Oxford

Until 2006, two other buildings housing genetics (the Walter Bodmer building) and biochemistry (the Rudolph Peters building) also existed. However, these have since been demolished. Until 2008 biochemistry was also occupying the Donald Woods building and the Hans Krebs building, that was deserted after completion of the first part of new biochemistry building in autumn 2008. The New Biochemistry building houses a substantial amount of contemporary art.
