Iffley is a village in Oxfordshire, England, within the boundaries of the city of Oxford, located between the estates of Rose Hill, Cowley, and Donnington, and in proximity to the River Thames (Isis). Its most notable feature is its original and largely unchanged Norman church, St Mary the Virgin, which is home to a modern stained glass "Nativity Window" designed by John Piper. Largely untouched by modern housing developments, the village remains a desirable place to live, and this is reflected in its relatively-high house prices.[citation needed] The scenic village of Iffley has given its name to: Iffley College, the original name of Wolfson College Iffley Lock on the river Thames (or rather, at this point, the Isis) Iffley Mill, locally famous for the spectacular fire that burnt it down in 1908 Iffley Road in east Oxford, home to the Hodgkin family, whose relatives include the Nobel Prize winners Alan Hodgkin and Dorothy Hodgkin and the historian Thomas Hodgkin and the pathologist Thomas Hodgkin for whom Hodgkin's disease is named. Iffley Road Stadium, the Oxford University athletics ground where Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile.
