The larger villages to the South of Banbury were something of a mystery to me, as were the smaller ones both there and, as in the case of the Wykeham Benefice, the much larger number to the North and West of the town. Over the past two decades I have come to enjoy and appreciate the individuality of these communities, and some of their distinctive characteristics as well as the beauty of the countryside around them. Unlike Banbury, which has seen the growth of several large areas of new housing, the villages of this benefice have remained quite similar physically though, sadly, some of their amenities have been lost in the meantime. What they have retained is a vibrancy to their lives and any new incumbent needs to be someone who wants to play a full part in their communities as well as their congregations. You don’t need to be a musician or an actor but, if you are, opportunities will present themselves. Of course it remains to be seen what the long-term effects of COVID will be but I have a strong suspicion that these villages will continue strongly as communities not just for the next 20 years but probably for the next 200 (at least). They are remarkably resilient in their social fabric. For a priest who loves people, and who values the small as well as the larger, this is a great post and I warmly commend it to you. The Rt Revd Colin Fletcher OBE Bishop of Dorchester 3 Wykeham Benefice Profile Relationship, Evangelism, Discipleship Statement from Deddington Deanery Deddington Deanery is one of the larger and more diverse deaneries in the Diocese of Oxford. In all, there are twenty-nine parishes, with thirty-four churches (in twelve benefices). The resident population exceeds 66,000, with c.47,000 in the largest town, Banbury. Our demographic covers everything from affluent villages to significant deprivation. Chapter In our deanery incumbent status clergy, including house for duty, are encouraged to make a priority of the regular lunches, which took place most months before Covid. This is an informal and confidential space which is greatly valued by deanery colleagues amongst those who engage. During the pandemic we have Zoomed on a fortnightly basis to support one another. We have built trust and strong support networks, supported by two mini breaks to Bournemouth in the last few years to worship, plan and grow together. There has been considerable changes in clergy within the deanery over the last year and several more anticipated. Combined with the challenges post pandemic, there are many opportunities ahead for mutual support and growth. In addition, there are opportunities throughout the year to bring together all Licensed and retired clergy and lay ministers for discussion and spouses are welcome at social gatherings. Deanery Synod The Deanery Synod meets up to four times a year at different venues throughout the deanery and there has been a conscious effort to improve the hospitality and tone of these meetings so that they feel more purposeful and enjoyable. There is often a keynote speaker or a workshop to consider items of mutual interest. The Area Dean is assisted by two Associate Area Deans who work closely with the Lay Chair and deanery treasurer. The Standing Committee is increasingly taking a strategic approach to the work of the deanery and trying to free up synod’s agenda to provide space for key note speakers such as the diocesan Disability Advisor and Lead Chaplain amongst Deaf People. Locally based training has included parish websites, safeguarding, eco church and leading all-age worship. A quiet day was held last summer in a beautiful garden in the north of the deanery. 4 Wykeham Benefice Profile Relationship, Evangelism, Discipleship Deanery Mission & Pastoral Plan The Deanery Mission & Pastoral Plan is in the process of being revised. In light of the current pandemic we must recognize the limits of human planning. However we need to ensure • We engage with the emerging priorities of the national church and the Diocese, including the Diocesan Common Vision (to become a Christ like church for the sake of the world) • We allow churches to take their own approaches to address the missional opportunities and challenges within their own unique location e.g. extensive new housing, population growth, schools, older people, developing a mixed economy of church. • We provide support and an opportunity to share good practice • We have the right ministerial deployment and resources to support all this. We have a clear sense that we are called to be an enabling deanery – helping parishes as they seek to live out God’s mission in their places rather than dictating how mission and ministry should be approached. The deanery has many church primary schools so there is a lot of wisdom to share on governance and parish engagement. We are a diverse deanery and we hope that the new incumbent will wish to share in this ministry with us. We will work hard to provide the successful candidate with a warm welcome and supportive colleagues. Join us as we seek to work towards becoming a more Christ-like church which is more courageous, contemplative and compassionate. 5 Wykeham Benefice Profile Relationship, Evangelism, Discipleship Benefice Profile Parishes of Broughton with North Newington, Epwell, Shutford, Sibford, Swalcliffe and Tadmarton DEDDINGTON DEANERY DIOCESE OF OXFORD The six churches of the Wykeham Benefice are all situated within a five mile radius. 6 Wykeham Benefice Profile Relationship, Evangelism, Discipleship The area covered by the benefice lies just west of Banbury, on the edge of the Cotswolds. It is predominantly rural, but there is much local industry and commerce nearby. The nearest of the parishes to Banbury is Broughton which is about two miles away. The other parishes are up to five miles north and west of there. The Local Area Walking – there are numerous well signed walks around the villages, and further afield many designated bridleways and walks in nearby villages. Cycling – the Oxfordshire Cycle Way has around 30 miles of its route within the Cherwell area. Arts & Events – Theatre, music, dance, traditional crafts and art exhibitions are available in the area, at The Mill in Banbury, Banbury Museum, Adderbury, the Chipping Norton Theatre, and further afield at Stratford upon Avon and Oxford. The nearest cinemas are in Banbury, Chipping Norton and Stratford. Sports & Recreation – The Spiceball Park Sports Centre in Banbury has a 25m pool, activity and sports halls and squash courts, sauna etc. Sibford School makes their swimming pool available at certain times to local residents. There is a gliding club and a number of golf clubs up to 5 miles distant. Transport - There is a bus service which runs 5 times daily between Stratford upon Avon and Banbury calling at Swalcliffe, Tadmarton and Broughton. Once a day only there is a separate service between Shutford and Banbury. A car is essential for shopping in Chipping Norton or Shipston-on-Stour. Schools There are two primary schools in the benefice: Bishop Carpenter VA School in North Newington, and Sibford Gower Endowed School. Both belong to the Warriner Multi Academy Trust. The Warriner is our feeder secondary school located in Bloxham. Over the last few years a rich relationship has been developed between school, church and community. This is greatly valued and is important to us all. As the school with the church foundation, Bishop Carpenter is used to the rector leading an act of worship every two weeks, enabling a family service every term, running Godly Play with the classes once a term and visiting to support the teaching of RE and governance. Sibford Gower primary school also values good relationships with the Church community. We would expect our new rector to enable these to develop and flourish. 7 Wykeham Benefice Profile Relationship, Evangelism, Discipleship Bishop Carpenter School requests that the amazing work begun in their school be remembered and valued, and be pivotal to the appointment of a new rector for the parish and the school. The Worship Team would be delighted to share the work that they are doing in school and hopes that the next rector would be able to take this on, and allow them to continue on this path to grow and develop their Christian ethos. Other schools in the benefice are Sibford School, an independent mixed school of some 400 pupils from 3 to 18 with a Quaker foundation, and Swalcliffe Park School, a special school for boys on the autistic spectrum. There is a college of Higher Education and a Sixth Form College in Banbury. Healthcare The nearest doctors’ surgeries are at Sibford, Bloxham, Shenington and Banbury. There are numerous care homes for the old and sick in the vicinity including Banbury, Chipping Norton, Shipston, Wroxton, and Bloxham.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OXFORDSHIRE STANDING ADVISORY COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SACRE) September 2016 – July 2017 CONTENTS ➢ Foreword ➢ 1. Standards and quality of provision of RE ➢ 2. Managing the SACRE and Partnership with the LA and Other Key Stakeholders ➢ 3. Effectiveness of the Agreed Syllabus ➢ 4. Collective Worship ➢ Annex 1: Membership of SACRE ➢ Annex 2: Attendance record for SACRE Members 2016-17 ➢ Annex 3: Reflections ➢ Annex 4: The value of SACRE: a view from two members ➢ Examination results by individual schools FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR I was honoured to be elected Chair of SACRE in November and first and foremost want to thank Nick Wood for all his years in the role; I hope I will serve the Council as effectively and enthusiastically, if perhaps not quite for so long! These are challenging times for RE and SACREs and my main priority as Chair is to ensure that we, as a representative body, are as active and effective as we can be in supporting and challenging schools to provide good quality RE to all pupils. We will do this by making our presence more felt both physically and on the web. Whilst communication between SACRE and schools is more challenging, we recognise the importance of working with schools to share their good practice and to spread the provision of quality religious education and meaningful collective worship. RE remains a statutory subject for all schools and its importance has never been more acute than today. Pupils need the opportunity to make sense of their own and others’ views of life and to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and ways of life.

A skilled watch and clock repairer, Theodore plied his trade around the local villages. He also played various instruments and posed for photographs for which he charged a fee of half a crown. He travelled around, sometimes on a bicycle without tyres, sometimes on foot, and usually with some form of truck loaded with junk and, in the winter, his fire in a bucket as well. He always paid for his small needs, although when his clothing, which was often made from sacks, Location Map became less than decent he was banned from Banbury and had to wait at the door of the village shop to be served. He was always totally honest and completely harmless despite his appearance.

  • Artweeks 10.2.Pages
    saturday 8 - monday 31 may 2010 free guide www.artweeks.org Sponsored by Welcome to Artweeks 2010 2010 is set to be the biggest Artweeks ever with 474 sites exhibiting during the Festival. Artweeks plays a vital role in bringing artists and art enthusiasts and buyers together across the county. Our goal this year is to bring new audiences to the work of Oxfordshire's creative community, those who might find the idea of going to a gallery daunting. By visiting an open studio and talking to the artist you get to understand the creative process, the way they have tried to convey their ideas and the effect they have created. Most of the works on view are for sale and you'll find some originals at prices that you might pay for a mass-produced copy in a quality department store. Artweeks is all about involvement and originality; by simply going along to a couple of studios and seeing what is on offer, you too add to the vibrancy of Oxfordshire's biggest arts festival. See it. Love it. Buy it.

  • Information on Historical Epwell
    Topology and History of Epwell Village in the 13th century This note attempts to provide some background to the discovery location of the recent Museum acquisition. It in no way implies any tangible connection between the Seal and Epwell. Various sources are used mainly Victoria County History Volume X. A complete gold medieval seal matrix of 13th century date and in exceptional condition. The seal matrix is oval in plan with an applied gold spine and suspension loop on the reverse. In the centre of the front of the matrix is an oval dark green jasper intaglio, intricately engraved to depict a female in profile. The female wears a long veil about her head with either hair, or possibly pearls, visible above the forehead. The matrix has a personal legend in Latin around the outer edge beginning with a six-pointed star and reads '*SIGILVM : SECRETI : hEN :', translated as the 'Secret sea… Topology As the crow flies, Epwell is situated half-way between the towns of Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour, on the Oxfordshire-Warwickshire boundary. Its companion villages are Swalcliffe, Sibfords Gower and Feris, Tadmarton, Shutford and Shennington. Its nearest town is Banbury, 6.5 miles away, but Epwell was always the most remote of its villages, in some periods over 4 hours by cart from Banbury. The village of 1140 acres lies 180 m. (600 ft.) above sea level with a sheltering ring of low hills reaching up to 220 m. (743 ft). The land is of a sandy brown, oolitic limestone which has formed layers of clay at the foots of the slopes.
