Headington Quarry is a residential district of Oxford, England, located east of Headington and west of Risinghurst, just inside the Oxford ring road in the east of the city. To the south is Wood Farm. Today the district is also known colloquially as "Quarry".[1] The area, now residential, is considerably uneven due to previous quarrying in the area.
Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry.
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity[2][3] was designed by George Gilbert Scott and built in 1848–49.[4] The east window of its chancel was designed by Ninian Comper.[4] The Friends of Holy Trinity Church was founded in 2002 to raise funds and look after the church.[5]
In 1930, C. S. Lewis, Oxford academic and author of The Chronicles of Narnia, and his brother Warnie moved, with Janie Moore and her daughter Maureen, into "The Kilns", a house on the outskirts of Headington Quarry.[6] Lewis attended Holy Trinity Church.[7] He first preached there on 29 March 1942, on the subject of "Religion and pleasure", and he is buried in the churchyard.
There is a former Methodist Chapel in Quarry High Street.[8]
The Headington Quarry Morris Dancers are based in the area.[9] Headington Quarry Morris Dancers were the first Morris dancers ever seen by Cecil Sharp, on Boxing Day 1899.[10] This chance meeting was one of the events that sparked a lifelong interest in folk dance, song and music, to which Sharp devoted much of his life.
Headington Quarry was designated a conservation area[11] in 1971, and the Friends of Quarry[12] is a residents' association which aims to preserve the distinctive character of the Conservation Area and its immediate neighbourhood.
