A population of 2,335,000 (2014). The Diocese of Oxford is: The fifth most populous diocese in the Church of England The sixth largest diocese in land area in the Church of England anticipating over 200,000 additional houses and 475,000 more people by 2026. As of March 2015, the Diocese had: 290 benefices 622 parishes 815 churches, of which more than 660 are listed buildings More than 51,000 people on church electoral rolls Approximately 600 parochial clergy, plus around 400 active retired and 100 on non-parochial licenses Around 300 Licensed Lay Ministers Around 100 Youth/Children/Family workers More than 58,000 children attending our church schools. 2 FOREWORD BY THE ACTING BISHOP OF OXFORD As ever I must begin this report by saying a big ‘thank-you’ to all those – paid staff and volunteers alike – who have given so much of themselves, their prayers, their imagination (and sheer hard work) in enabling what is described here to happen. 2015 was an odd year in many ways. We began it fully expecting that by the late summer or early autumn we would be welcoming a new Diocesan Bishop. Of course that did not happen and we had to wait another year and a bit before we heard that Steven Croft would be coming to join us in that role. Happily, since the centre of the Diocese lies in its parishes, most of its life continued unabated. Prayers were prayed; worship was said or sung or expressed through silence; service of others remained central; yes, and the Parish Share continued to be given in quite remarkably generous ways. We also continued to seek to express our love of Christ in new ways, as well as honouring old ones. For me, even if it has been hard work, it has been very energising too. Oxford is a great Diocese to serve in and long may it continue to flourish. May I encourage you to read these reports and to use them as a basis for intercession, praise and thanksgiving.

  • Mega-Footpath Problems

    Mega-Footpath Problems

    MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face.

This information has either been taken from the online submission (primary source); the ER certificate; or information received by email and telephone conversations. 2019 was an Electoral Roll Revision year so it has therefore had an impact on the number of places some deaneries / parishes have been allocated. If you would like to query these figures you MUST provide evidence of your APCM figure in 2019 as accepted at your APCM. Regrettably not all parishes returned this information and therefore any parishes whereby the figures are shown in yellow, places have been calculated on an estimated basis and therefore may not reflect an accurate picture.

  • White Horse Hill Circular Walk

    White Horse Hill Circular Walk

    WHITE HORSE HILL CIRCULAR WALK 4¼ miles (6¾ km) – allow 2 hours (see map on final page) Introduction This circular walk within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Oxfordshire is 7 miles (11km) west of Wantage. It takes you through open, rolling downland, small pasture fields with some wonderful mixed hedgerows, woodland and a quintessential English village. It includes a classic section of The Ridgeway, with magnificent views of the Vale of White Horse to the north, and passes the unique site of White Horse Hill before descending the steep scarp slope to the small picturesque village of Woolstone in the Vale. The walk is waymarked with this ‘Ridgeway Circular Route’ waymark. Terrain and conditions • Tracks, field paths mostly through pasture and minor roads. • Quite strenuous with a steep downhill and uphill section. 174m (571 feet) ascent and descent. • There are 9 gates and one set of 5 steps, but no stiles. • Some paths can be muddy and slippery after rain. • There may be seasonal vegetation on the route. Preparation • Wear appropriate clothing and strong, comfortable footwear. • Carry water. • Take a mobile phone if you have one but bear in mind that coverage can be patchy in rural areas. • If you are walking alone it’s sensible, as a simple precaution, to let someone know where you are and when you expect to return.
