The PCCs and churches here have thought carefully about their future direction and what they are therefore looking for in their new incumbent. These parishes work well together, and are keen to appoint someone who can lead them in growing the church in this rural area. They have been refreshingly honest about their strengths and weaknesses, and what they see as the challenges and opportunities in Mission and Outreach, Leadership and Working Together, Worship and Preaching, Stewardship and Organisation, and Pastoral Care. They are particularly keen that their new incumbent will be able to delegate everyday administrative tasks in order to concentrate energy, time and gifts on the spiritual life and faith of the churches and communities of this benefice. Alongside the development of mission and ministry in this benefice, the Diocese of Oxford is also exploring a common vision of what it means to be ‘A Christ-like Church, the Church of the Beatitudes’, to be 'contemplative, compassionate, courageous' in all we attempt together. It will be important for anyone taking up a post in the diocese to be able to engage with this vision as it develops and offer their own insights, ideas and energy as appropriate in their context. These are early days, and this is an excellent opportunity to be part of a transformative process across the diocese at every level, including parish and benefice. You will see from the person specification that this vision is beginning to be part of the thinking in this benefice. A rural multi-parish like this offers a wonderful opportunity for a fulfilling ministry that can make a real difference in the local communities and enable more people to encounter the love of God. This is a fascinating time to lead this benefice into the next stage of its spiritual journey and we look forward to welcoming someone who will help these parishes fulfil their potential. With every blessing as you discern where God may be calling you. Judy French Archdeacon of Dorchester 3 Introduction from the Area Dean and Lay Chair of the Deanery of Woodstock We are delighted that you are exploring the possibility of coming to minister here. We are one of the smallest deaneries in the Diocese of Oxford and, as a result, relationships are close. The deanery is essentially rural, but has the historic market town of Woodstock, and the larger villages of Eynsham and Hanborough, as well as Yarnton in the south. The compact nature of the deanery enables us to get to relate to one another well and encourages the sharing of ideas and ministry. Deanery Chapter and Synod are well attended, and the Chapter in particular has a strong sense of fellowship, so there is a lot of support around. As well as this, we offer an amazing location – transport links are excellent, and the new Oxford Parkway station, just 20 minutes by car from the Vicarage, serves London with trains that take less than an hour. Oxford is, of course, on the doorstep, with all the cultural, educational, and social richness for which it is famous. We can say with conviction that this is a lovely part of the country in which to live. The people of these parishes are immensely friendly, great fun, and have high expectations of their clergy! So there are many challenges. The church families of these villages are raring to move forwards in collaboration with a new priest, who will have a deep love of God, a passion for the Gospel, and a heartfelt desire to grow churches. Could that be you? If so, we do hope you’ll want to think about joining us. Adrian Daffern Liz Whittle Area Dean Lay Chair 4 We are very pleased that you are reading this profile. Maybe God is calling you to be our new incumbent. We are using this prayer by Father Christopher Durrant during the vacancy. Dear God, Your love for us is unchangeable. You have welcomed each of us into the family of your Church; in Jesus, you call us to be His Body in this place. Send down your Holy Spirit upon us at this time of uncertainty and change to fill us with vision and energy and faithfulness in prayer, that we may be true to our common Baptism, and bring new life to our community. Guide with your heavenly wisdom those appointed to discern the way ahead and a new Incumbent for this Benefice, that we may receive the priest you have prepared for your people: ready to serve us with joy, to build us up in faith, and lead us by example in loving obedience to your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen Could you be ‘the priest that God has prepared for his people’? 5 Our place in the world We think that this is a wonderful place to live, the best of all worlds. We are on the edge of the Cotswolds, but within striking distance of the North Oxfordshire towns of Chipping Norton, Banbury, Bicester and Woodstock with Milton Keynes to the east, Oxford to the south and Stratford-on-Avon to the north. There is easy access to the M40 and good rail links mean that London and Birmingham can be reached in about an hour. Our Benefice comprises five rural parishes, with six churches: • St Edward the Confessor, Westcote Barton • St Mary the Virgin, Steeple Barton • St Mary Magdalene, Duns Tew • St Martin in the parish of Sandford St Martin which includes the hamlet of Ledwell • Holy Trinity, Over Worton and, within the same parish, St James, a chapel of ease, in the hamlet of Nether Worton ‘When it is at its best the village church, within the context of a well-organised Benefice, is beautifully Anglican: patient, kind, spacious, quietly impressive and inclusive, steeped in prayer and history, yet with a smiling face.’ Taken from a report to the Oxfordshire Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee Part of the Woodstock Deanery, the parishes of Westcote and Steeple Barton came together in 1960, Sandford St Martin joined the Benefice in 1975, followed by Duns Tew two years later. A re-arrangement of deanery boundaries added Over with Nether Worton in 2015. Even though there are no other churches of any other denominations in the Benefice area there is an ecumenical link with the local Roman Catholic church in Chipping Norton, which holds an annual service in Westcote Barton. 6 Our churches in the communities God loves How we see ourselves The five parishes are geographically close, but each has a unique and distinctive character. There is more about our villages and churches in ‘The Benefice under the microscope’ in Appendix 1. This is what the Benefice as a whole and each congregation feel that they do well: Across the Benefice we all share the same vision, to love and serve God in our different communities. We are all welcoming and friendly. We meet together for worship on many occasions during the year for special services such as Remembrance Sunday and the All Souls’ service and, from time to time, for social events. The five PCCs are working increasingly closely together, introducing common policies and systems. St Edward the Confessor, Westcote Barton As a community we value rural life and the old traditions. At Christmas time, our little church is filled with families for the children’s Crib Service with children taking an active part; later there is usually a full church for Midnight Mass. St Mary the Virgin, Steeple Barton We have formed a close link with the Middle Barton Primary School and its staff and children, and, for example the School’s Christmas Carol Service is usually held in this church. We try to ensure worshippers are offered lifts to, and from, the church if they need it, particularly in poor weather. 7 St Mary Magdalene, Duns Tew We are compassionate, providing financial support for a wide range of local, national and international charities. Although our regular congregation is small, other villagers are very supportive: helping with the church cleaning, maintaining the church- yard, as well as attending special services and a rolling programme of fundraising events. St Martin, Sandford St Martin Our congregation is faithful, warm and committed, and we look out for one another. Regular parishioners and visitors appreciate the home-produced refreshments provided after the monthly family service, the Christingle and Ledwell Open Air service.

  • Archaeological Work in Oxford, 2012
    Oxoniensia 78 txt 4+index_Oxoniensia 17/11/2013 12:05 Page 213 ROMANO-BRITISH VILLA AT COMBE 213 NOTES Archaeological Work in Oxford, 2012 In 2012 the Heritage and Specialist Services Team completed the Oxford Archaeological Plan (OAP). The resulting resource assessment, research agenda and characterisation reports are available on the council website, along with a six-year Archaeological Action Plan for the city. The year also saw a number of substantial city centre projects resulting from the expansion of college facilities, and some notable new information resulting from small-scale commercial and domestic development. Provisional summaries for selected sites are provided below. SELECTED PROJECTS 19 St Andrew’s Lane, Headington In January JMHS carried out an archaeological evaluation prior to the construction of a small extension at 19 St Andrew’s Lane. The evaluation recorded a post-medieval well and a series of cess pits filled with dump deposits containing animal bone, late-medieval and early post- medieval pottery and brick. At least six post holes from an unidentified structure possibly post- dating the pits were recorded. Nos. 6–7 High Street (Jack Wills, formerly Ryman’s Stationers) In February three test pits were excavated in the basement of Nos. 6–7 High Street by OA. A number of medieval pits containing domestic and butchery waste were recorded, along with a stone drain or wall foundation. The backfill of one feature contained a fired clay annular discoidal loom weight of likely early to middle Anglo-Saxon date (c.400–850). In June a lift pit was excavated in the basement revealing in section the edge of a possible wood-lined pit, potentially a ‘cellar pit’.

    OXFORDSHIRE Oxfordshire lies to the north-west of London. It is bordered to the south by Berkshire, to the west by Gloucestershire, to the north by Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, and to the east by Buckinghamshire. In 1974 parts of Berkshire were transferred to Oxfordshire, which is why the modern county as illustrated on the left is slightly larger than the one on the right. The major town is Oxford, where jurisdiction over weights and measures was in the hands of the University from medieval times, and was not formally transferred to the Corporation until 1868. The other Ancient Boroughs were Banbury, Chipping Norton, Henley, and Woodstock. All were active in the business of inspecting weights and measures, although Chipping Norton effectively handed over to the county in 1858, and Henley and Woodstock seem to have done very little. After the Act of 1878, only Oxford and Banbury continued to operate as Weights and Measures Authorities. The county itself was rather slow to obtain the new Imperial Standards, and there were several changes to the arrangements for inspection before the police force was set up in 1857. As in some of the nearby counties, the work of regulating weights and measures seems to have been entrusted traditionally to local ironmongers, whitesmiths and braziers, until a specialist scale maker, Gale and Son, appeared in Oxford in 1850. In the 20th century there was a long- running competition between Avery and the local firm of Kirk & Co, which ended, inevitably, in victory for Avery in 1936.
