Oxfordshire has a rich heritage of churches of all denominations. Many of these date from Saxon and Norman times, standing as landmarks in their neighbourhoods and providing an important focus of continuity and stability in ever-changing times.

The annual 'Ride and Stride' event is a fundraiser for the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust, to which we apply when we need help with repairs and restoration for our lovely village church, and half of what we raise comes back to St Helen’s.

This year BRIAN MACKENZIE from Plough Cottage, along with his son, Callum will be cycling to a number of local village churches on behalf of us all at St Helen’s this Saturday (14th September).

All of us at St Helen’s would be most grateful if you could sponsor him - you can do it at a click via this link here.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you so much!
