Abstract: |
The former Mission Church in Paxford is currently being converted to holiday rental accommodation and Oxford Archaeology (OA) has undertaken historic building recording at the site as a condition of planning approval. The building was constructed in 1866, initially opening as an infant school for 100 children but it was also licensed to take church services within the first year. In 1870 a new stained glass window was added at the east end and then in 1886 an extension was added at the west end to provide a separate school room. The school closed in the early 20th century (thought to be 1921) but the church continued to take services until 2016 and then in 2018 its licence was formally revoked. The former Mission Church is a prominent landmark within Paxford and the conversion is providing it with a new use which will ensure its continued future maintenance. The conversion will see minimal alterations to the external form of the building and its ecclesiastical origins will remain easily identifiable. The current recording has helped document the building for posterity, prior to its conversion, and it has enhanced understanding of its evolution. |
