Binsey is a small hamlet on the west bank of the River Thames, immediately east of Oxford. Down a quiet rural lane north of the village centre stands the 12th-century church of St Margaret, built on the site of a Saxon church linked to St Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford, who established an oratory here in the early 8th century...
In the churchyard are memorials to generations of the Prickett family, who lived for many years at the farmhouse just beyond the churchyard. One of the Pricketts acted as the governess for Alice Liddell, for whom Lewis Carroll invented Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
