Wolvercote and Godstow

The Wolvercote and Godstow Conservation area contains three distinct districts

• Upper Wolvercote with the Church of St Peter, 19th century school and houses standing above and along Wolvercote Green
• Lower Wolvercote terminating at Port Meadow with the former Paper Mill.
• Godstow Abbey beyond the Trout riverside inn, was largely destroyed by fire in 1645, with only the unroofed remains of the post 15th century stone building, with wall and earthworks now surviving in the water meadows to the west, on the Thames.
