Ipsden is a village and civil parish in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, about southeast of Wallingford. It is almost equidistant from Oxford and Reading, Berkshire. ==Parish church== The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin was built late in the 12th century as a chapelry of North Stoke. It is said to have been the replacement for an earlier church that fell into disrepair in that century.〔(The Langtree Team Ministry: History of St Mary the Virgin, Ipsden )〕 The north aisle of the present church was built in the 12th century and retains a Norman window. The chancel arch is 13th century and the present south doorway is 14th century. There had been a south aisle but this has been lost and its arcade blocked up. Perpendicular Gothic windows occupy the south wall of the nave where the arcade had been. The chancel east window is also Perpendicular Gothic. The south porch was added in 1634 and the belfry in the 19th century. St. Mary the Virgin parish is now a member of The Langtree Team Ministry: a Church of England benefice that includes also the parishes of Checkendon, North Stoke, Stoke Row, Whitchurch-on-Thames and Woodcote.〔(The Langtree Team Ministry )〕 The date of the vicarage has been disputed: the former Department of the Environment (DoE) dated it to 1643 but the architectural historians Jennifer Sherwood and Sir Nikolaus Pevsner considered about 1700 to be more likely. It is of five bays and built of red brick with a pattern of blue bricks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ipsden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
