The Church Commissioners have formally signed off the changes to the local parishes in the Daventry Deanery, to come into effect on 1 March 2026. Everdon will be removed from the Weedon and Dodford group and be added to the five existing Knightley Parishes. Weedon and Dodford will be added to the existing Heyford group.
The vicarage at Badby will be retained for the incumbent of the enlarged Knightley Parishes when eventually one has been appointed. The Rural Dean, the Revd Stephen Burrow, currently Rector of the Heyford Group will add Weedon and Dodford to his parishes.
