Sunday 5 October 2025 - Harvest Thanksgiving followed by Harvest Lunch - 11h00

All welcome to the village HARVEST LUNCH 11am next Sunday (5th Oct). A short Service of Thanksgiving for our food and farmers, followed by the Bring-and-Share lunch in the church.

If you are new to the village, this is a great way to meet some of your neighbours. Just contribute a plate (sweet or savoury) of something to share. Great fun – plus it will save you cooking Sunday lunch!

2025 - Ride and Stride

Last month Brian Mackenzie was again very public spirited and volunteered for a sponsored bike ride on behalf of our wonderful mediaeval church and the Oxfordshire trust which supports churches like ours.

Sponsored bike rides on our local roads can be quite treacherous for families, but Brian offered to do it on behalf of all of us!

Thank you for all your donations which have reached  £495 to date - but there us still time to donate if you haven't already done so... click here to access the dedicated webpage which will remain open until 10 October...

Thank you so much!
