Fancy a game? Well you never know, we might get our cricket field back one day, but in the meantime we will have to make do with the 31st staging of the annual needle match against the boys from Milton. This year the big match will be on Sunday 7 September at the wonderful Banbury Cricket Club at 1.00 pm, when we will be fighting to win back the Millennium Trophy, inaugurated as part of the village celebrations in 1995.
Between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm do come along to The Institute to learn more about the care, support and services available in your area. For more information go to Read More.

Do you enjoy cycling? Or walking? Horse-riding? Or have an unusual form of transport – like a vintage tractor? Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust, an organisation that makes grants to churches invites you to join in their sponsored Ride+Stride. St Mary’s received £26,000 last year towards the new electrical heaters. Half the monies raised is used by the Trust to make grants and the other half used to maintain these beautiful historic buildings that are so much part of our landscape.
