Let us tell you a little bit about our church.<\/p>\n

St. Bartholomew\u2019s is a beautiful medieval building set at the heart of the village. It has been very well cared for and provides us with a marvellous light area for worship which is cool in summer and very warm in winter. The acoustics are excellent.<\/p>\n

On a typical Sunday morning, since the coronavirus restrictions have lifted, about 60 people meet for worship in church and a few join us on Zoom for the live-streaming of our services. About half of our congregation live in the village and others come from nearby Witney and surrounding villages. Our age range is 0 to 95. We have a regular small group of school age children who attend church and have activities during the church service.<\/p>\n

To see all<\/em><\/strong> events – take a look at the Events page here<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a number of special events through the year, with our unique Fritillary Sunday each April as the highlight.<\/p>\n

We like to celebrate the seasons and often do so with food \u2013 pancakes, picnics and harvest suppers. We value our relationship with the local primary school and regularly host their events in the church.<\/p>\n

The website will show you that we have a number of midweek activities \u2013 bell ringing, handbell ringing, housegroups, Lent discussion groups, choir practice and more.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a church, we do invite you to come along and join us. We can assure you of a warm welcome and a style of worship which we feel is appropriate for an English village at the beginning of the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n
