St Cross Church is a church in central Oxford, England, to the northeast of the centre. The church is located on St Cross Road just south of Holywell Manor. Also close by is Holywell Cemetery.
St Cross Church was once a subsidiary place of worship connected to St Peter-in-the-East on Queen's Lane, north of the High Street in central Oxford.[1] The original date of the church's foundation is not known precisely, but it has been suggested that the St Cross was first built around 890AD by St Grimwald. The bottom of the tower and aisles were added in the 13th century. In recent years, services were conducted once a week, until 12 October 2008, when the church was closed.[2]
The grave of composer Sir John Stainer who, while he was Professor of Music at Magdalen College, acted as church warden at St Cross Church, is in the Churchyard [3].
