We are very happy to communicate informally with any potential applicants, so please do feel able to email John Bridgeman ( [email protected]).

As a Diocese, we seek to be contemplative, compassionate and courageous in all that we do. Anyone taking up the post will, I hope, wish to engage with our vision as it develops, and to offer their own insights, ideas and energy as we explore what it means to be a Christ-like Church for the sake of God’s world. The benefice is now on the cusp of change. With new housing developments under construction on its eastern and southern boundaries, the benefice population will grow significantly. This provides an opportunity to build on the good work already done by colleagues throughout the benefice, and to continue to develop and extend mission and ministry in the Ironstone area. An expanding rural multi-parish benefice like this offers a wonderful opportunity for a fulfilling ministry that makes a real difference to its community and enables more people to encounter the love of God. With new residents arriving daily, this is a fascinating time to lead this team. The benefice are particularly looking for someone who has energy and will inspire and encourage a vision for the future for the benefice, channelling the gifts of those in the churches, but also someone who will take the time to listen and understand the distinct communities and churches. The benefice is looking for a person with warmth, empathy and patience. The benefice is situated in a beautiful part of Oxfordshire with good links to the M40, close to Banbury and with good local schools. I do hope having read this profile that you consider applying for this post. With every blessing, 3 About the Ironstone Benefice and its Surrounds The Benefice, created twenty five years ago, lies to the North West of Banbury in delightful countryside. It embraces six PCC’s in a predominantly rural lanscape, though theparish boundaries of Hanwell and Drayton now embrace parts of new housing developments on the very outskirts of Banbury This market town has a canalside shopping centre, local industry and commerce, The Mill Arts Centre, a cinema, Banbury Museum, Spiceball Park Sports Centre, three secondary schools and Horton General Hospital. There is an excellent train Service to Oxford, London, Birmingham and beyond with services North to such cities as Manchester, York and Newcastle and south to Reading, Winchester, Southampton and Bournemouth. Our villages of Alkerton, Balscote, Drayton, Hanwell. Hornton, Horley, Shenington and Wroxton are quite small. See Appendix 3. We believe embracing part of two areas of housing development will give the new Benefice Team and our congregations opportunities to reach more families and young people. We already have three families from the Banbury outskirts coming to Café Church and children from there come to all three of our schools. The residents will be able to experience some elements of village life, while within the villages, we shall benefit from their presence and their new ideas. All the villages are very sociable and active with plenty of opportunity for new people to join in. There are marked footpaths in each village making walking a pleasure. In addition, around 30 miles of the Oxfordshire cycle way is within the Cherwell Area. We have eight Grade 1 or 2 Churches, mostly dating back to Norman times and all having their own interesting architectural features. The churches vary in size from the intimacy of Alkerton, the peace of Balscote, the new fellowship space of Hornton to the larger churches of Shenington, Drayton, Wroxton, Hanwell and Horley. Shenington and Alkerton are within one parish and share a PCC. Wroxton and Balscote are also historically connected as Wroxton cum Balscote. Drayton, Hanwell, Horley and Hornton each stand alone. Three of our villages have primary schools which bring a youthful vibrance to our communities in term time! Shenington and Wroxton have church schools, Hornton and its Peachtree Pre-school Facility, are part of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust in Bloxham (in south of map). There are secondary schools in Banbury, Bloxham and Kineton, for those who enjoy sport Horley has a thriving cricket club, Hornton has a football field, pavilion and multi sports surface which includes tennis. Six of the villages have pubs which support cribbage, darts, dominoes, charity quizzes and in Summer Aunt Sally. Drayton has the only care home in the Benefice. Called Glebefields, it is situated next to the church. The Benefice has no shops, but Banbury is close by and Tysoe (in west of map) has a general store, PO, gift shop, cafe and hairdresser. For useful websites please turn to Appendix 5 on page 21 4 Accommodation Horley Rectory is in the centre of the village it has a small rear garden with open views. It lies on the opposite side of the main street to the Church of St Etheldreda which stands on high ground above it. The Pub is also opposite a few steps down the hill and the Cricket Club is nearby. The village is musically strong,and concerts are held annually in the church. There is a weekly parent run toddler group in The Old School which also serves as a village hall hosting such events as Film Club and Michael Harding Trust talks Both Rectories have 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 reception rooms, in addition to a study. They are both purpose built to the same plan Wroxton Rectory is in a secluded corner of the village It has a large garden laid to grass and some old stables and out - buildings within its boundaries. It has a tree-lined drive and lies next door to the church of All Saints into which it has its own gate. Close by is Wroxton Abbey,now home to the Fairleigh Dickinson American University.The village has a ‘good’ (Ofsted 2020) Church of England Primary school with ninety five pupils. The pub is at present closed and may remain so but there is a Village Hall and a hotel. Until 1995 the Rector lived in Horley but since that date, as the Benefice was enlarged to the south and west, the last two Rectors have lived in Wroxton and the House for Duty Priests in Horley. Different settings may be marginally preferred by different incumbents according to their personalities, interests, and stages of life and it may be possible to offer a choice so please feel able to enquire as to current position on letting if you are interested in this post by contacting John Bridgeman on [email protected] However, be assured each house makes an excellent benefice base, has space and all that is needed to make a happy home. Built in the eighties, neither have the draughts or other inconveniences of Victorian and earlier vicarages! 5 Our vision has seven aspects 1) To establish a collaborative Benefice that aims to deepen faith and strengthen outreach Within this vision we would aim to: take on the challenges of the twenty first century, growing our ministry to engage young families through links already forged with young and old, introducing them to the things we do already and incorporating their ideas on fellowship, worship and faith. 2) To celebrate and grow the particular strengths and potential of each individual church within our benefice Within this vision we would aim that: each church continues to be a place of openness, warmth and inclusion that reflects the love and joy of the Christian message; that each church retains its identity but also grasps the challenge of closer Benefice ties, opening up new opportunities for each and every church to learn from one another. 3) To grow the family of the church in each of our communities making it a more central part of community life Within this vision we can consider that: each church has circles of support, like a dart board, with committed supporters in the centre and festival supporters or purely financial contributors on the outer edge. We have support. Our challenge is to encourage people in every circle to take a step inwards. 4) Grow our ministry to families, schools and children Within this vision we can build on: contact with Baptism Families; interaction with our primary schools in Shenington, Wroxton and Hornton; the congregation at Benefice Café Church; parents at Toddler Group in Horley and the rekindling of Welcome Packs for new families throughout the Benefice.

Cllr Bird proposed, Cllr Cooke seconded the motion and the Council RESOLVED (unanimous by those in attendance) that the amended minutes were a true record. 50/19 10 Minute Open Forum. Residents addressed the council about the following issues: 1. Lack of footpath between the entrance of Heyford Leys and the East End of Camp Road: This area was considered to be dangerous for pedestrians as there is no footpath and it is almost impossible to walk along the verge. At least one mother with a child in a buggy has been seen walking along this dangerous stretch of road as she had no other option. Concerns were raised that pedestrians could slip and fall in front of one of the numerous lorries that use this road. 2. Mismatch of path along the 200 yards stretch of road to the entrance to the woods: Residents noted that there was usually a long line of cars parked by the burger van blocking sight lines and you then had to cross a very dangerous stretch of road in order to get to the entrance of the woods.

  • Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973
    Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973 By R. A. CHAMBERS SUMMARy During the autumn of I9 73 a watching briif was kept over a series ofpipe trenches dug for the installation of main drainage in and around the shrunken medieval village of Somerton, Oxon. (SP497287).' Continuous observation of the open trench sections provided material from the medieval village' and also enabled a reappraisal of the cemetery at Castle Yard (SP496288).' THE VILLAGE HIS report is concerned with the archaeological information from pipe trenches. T The historical and topographical background has been included to provide a context for the features encountered and is not a comprehensive account of the whole village,' which was one of the largest and richest in Ploughley Hundred during the Middle Ages. Since the medieval period the village has shrunk, leaving the present nucleated settlement with the Norman parish church on its southerr. edge (FIG. I). The deserted areas which surround the present village are for the most part under pasture with earthworks clearly visible (PL. Xl, A). On the west side of the village, Church Street forms a ' T ' junction with a hollow way shown by Davis' map to have been disused and under pasture by 1797.' Northwards the way ends by the assumed castle fishponds. Some 100 m. south-west of Church Street the h~llow way con­ tinues westwards and forms the boundary between some less pronounced village earthworks to the north and the edge of the open field to the south (PL. Xl, A)." The western limit of the open field and a further length of the hollow way lie buried by the mid nineteenth-century railway embankment.

  • Clifton Past and Present
    Clifton Past and Present L.E. Gardner, 1955 Clifton, as its name would imply, stands on the side of a hill – ‘tun’ or ‘ton’ being an old Saxon word denoting an enclosure. In the days before the Norman Conquest, mills were grinding corn for daily bread and Clifton Mill was no exception. Although there is no actual mention by name in the Domesday Survey, Bishop Odo is listed as holding, among other hides and meadows and ploughs, ‘Three Mills of forty one shillings and one hundred ells, in Dadintone’. (According to the Rev. Marshall, an ‘ell’ is a measure of water.) It is quite safe to assume that Clifton Mill was one of these, for the Rev. Marshall, who studied the particulars carefully, writes, ‘The admeasurement assigned for Dadintone (in the survey) comprised, as it would seem, the entire area of the parish, including the two outlying townships’. The earliest mention of the village is in 1271 when Philip Basset, Baron of Wycomb, who died in 1271, gave to the ‘Prior and Convent of St Edbury at Bicester, lands he had of the gift of Roger de Stampford in Cliftone, Heentone and Dadyngtone in Oxfordshire’. Another mention of Clifton is in 1329. On April 12th 1329, King Edward III granted a ‘Charter in behalf of Henry, Bishop of Lincoln and his successors, that they shall have free warren in all their demesne, lands of Bannebury, Cropperze, etc. etc. and Clyfton’. In 1424 the Prior and Bursar of the Convent of Burchester (Bicester) acknowledged the receipt of thirty-seven pounds eight shillings ‘for rent in Dadington, Clyfton and Hampton’.

  • Fallen 1914 - 1918
    THE FALLEN 1914 - 1918 part two shenington THE FALLEN 1914-1918 About “The Fallen” – Part Two The author of The Fallen, a tribute to the men from Alkerton and Shenington who fell in the two world wars, is Alistair Cook of Tysoe Hill Cottage in Shenington. When former Shenington Green editor Carole Young appealed for information on the six men named on the Alkerton war memorial, Alistair, a confirmed ‘non-historian,’ decided to pursue a fascination cultivated over long dog walks: namely, the lost stories behind the many names engraved on the large chunks of stone that take pride of place in our local villages. The Fallen, Part Two follows the publishing of Part One in the December 2015 issue of the Shenington Green. Part one covered the stories of the men remembered on the Alkerton war memorial; part two honours the men whose names are listed on a plaque in Shenington church and Richard Coles, a young Shenington soldier whose name is honoured on a small wooden plaque hanging just below it. The Fallen was inspired by the stories of Epwell’s soldiers killed in the wars, compiled by local historian Eric Kaye, who also wrote the story of the Edgehill airfield. Alistair spent weeks finding the soldiers’ respective regimental details, where they are buried, what they had done, where they lived and the actions that took place on or around the dates they fell. This was all achieved with the help of the internet and a visit to the National Archives in Kew where Alistair was allowed access to all records, free of charge.
