Historia y residentes
La finca de Norham Manor, donde se ubica Fyfield Road, perteneció originalmente al St John's College de Oxford . El nombre de la calle proviene de Fyfield, en Berkshire (actualmente en Oxfordshire ), donde el colegio poseía la mansión. Las casas de la calle fueron arrendadas por primera vez por el colegio entre 1878 y 1887. [ 1 ] Fueron diseñadas por Frederick Codd (números 1, 13 y 14), William Wilkinson (números 2-4) y Pike & Messenger (números 5-12). Las casas presentan el estilo victoriano tradicional del norte de Oxford , con construcción de ladrillo. [ 4 ]
