Church Cowley Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Church Cowley Road is a major road in Cowley, Oxford, England, leading from Rose Hill to Cowley Centre. It continues as Between Towns Road.
The original village of Cowley became known as "Church Cowley" in the 12th century to differentiate it from Temple Cowley, located to the east.[1] In c.1250, the spelling was "Chirche Couele" and in 1316 "Church Couele", then "Churchcovell". The road was created between Church Cowley and Iffley Turn in 1853. It was previously known as Cemetery Road or New Road and was named "Church Cowley Road" in 1930.
