St Ebbe’s Church is an active Church of England parish church on Pennyfarthing Place in central Oxford. This Grade II* listed building follows the conservative evangelical tradition and has an international congregation that includes many Oxford University students. Three services take place on Sundays, alongside weekday groups and activities for young people. The church also works in partnership with St Ebbe’s Primary School.
A place of worship dedicated to St Æbbe existed here before 1005, when Ealdorman Æthelmær the Stout gave it to Eynsham Abbey. The current building dates from 1814 to 1816, with later restoration carried out in 1862–68, 1904 and 2017. A restored Norman entrance from the twelfth century stands at the western end. Parish boundaries expanded after Holy Trinity on Blackfriars Road was demolished in 1957 and St Peter-le-Bailey was incorporated in 1961. During the most recent restoration, the organ was moved to St Denys in York.
