Not only do we have the loyal and hardworking support of Jan, but several other retired ministers have offered their gifts and wisdom during the year. John Witheridge, Elizabeth Koepping, Mike Williams, Angela Forbes and Ian Arthur have all played their part in the life of St Mary’s, not forgetting our ordinand Tish Bird, formerly an LLM, and now training to be a priest. But the hard work and dedication is not limited solely to the ministry team – a vast number of people have contributed to make St Mary’s and All Saints the lively, welcoming communities that they are. Each person has brought different gifts and skills, contributing what and when they can, and I value each one of them. Thank you. A community of faith We have continued to build on the pattern of services which we developed in 2016. The bedrock of our worshipping community remains the 8.00 Book of Common Prayer and the 9.45 Parish Communion services, and it is upon the faithful support and attendance of these two congregations that we have been able not only to build, but also to experiment with other types of service. Messy Church continues to grow in numbers and enthusiasm and, supported by the regular congregation, an all age Communion Service follows very successfully on a magnificent breakfast and a large array of craft activities. Mothering Sunday Messy Church 2017 Choral Evensongs have continued to be well attended, with music of a different kind being offered at Taize services and the new 6 O’Clock Worship service, which we welcome with enthusiasm. Evening Prayer at Shorthampton is now held during summer months only, with a Morning Service taking place at 11.15 am on the second Sunday of each month from October to March. The Lent talks explored were well attended and were supported by a sermon series at St Mary’s on Biblical landscapes, and a Bible study group met every Wednesday in term time at the Vicarage, offering a chance to discuss and reflect on different aspects of faith. Further discussions were enabled through the highly successful Discussion groups held during the year. Topics such as warfare, politics and end of life were explored from a Christian point of view with the help of expert speakers – and lovely suppers! 3 Festival services took place as usual, providing opportunities for the organist, the choir and the flower arrangers to show their skills to their best advantage, while other services opened the church to different communities – the Deanery Bellringers service took place at Charlbury this year, as did the Scouts’; the school visited the church for services and talks, and the Family Service rounding off a very popular Holiday Club proved a fitting celebration to an exciting week. And, forming the bedrock of all that St Mary’s and All Saints do, a continuous stream of prayer, both individual and corporate, involving Daily Prayer, midweek communions, Jan’s creative and thought provoking prayer stations and the work of the prayer team, who offer prayer at the end of each 9.45 service for all who wish. Baptism at All Saints’ Shorthampton The Bishop of Dorchester visiting the Thy Kingdom Come prayer stations A community of hospitality St Mary’s has continued to be involved in community events, with Font Café growing in popularity, and playing host as usual to Art Week at Christmas and in the summer. St Mary’s was a venue for the Charlbury Festival – an opportunity to extend hospitality to the wider community - and also hosted the Deanery Archdeaconry Visitation as well as a Diocesan Conference on the Spirituality of the Churchyard. St Mary’s has been the venue for Deanery Chapter and Deanery Synod meetings, including the celebration supper for the launch of the Deanery Pilgrim Project. All Saints launched its fundraising appeal for a new roof with a tremendous Quiz Night, filling the Memorial Hall with eager quizzers. There have been several concerts from different choirs and organisations as well as an encouraging number of baptisms and weddings - cause indeed for celebration. The blessing of the new Community Centre took the church to the community in a different way, while the visit of the new Bishop of Oxford to Font Cafe reinforced our reputation as the ‘best Deanery in the Diocese for cake’. St Mary’s and All Saints have maintained their outward focus, with charitable giving continuing to be a mainstream activity. Reverse Advent Parcels, Children’s Society money boxes, the Christmas Bazaar and other initiatives have enabled us to contribute to charities such as the Porch, Y Care International and Cecily’s Fund, as well as emergency appeals throughout the year. 4 Looking Forward The calendar for 2018 is already taking shape, with additional services and events happening alongside our regular pattern of prayer and worship. Lent talks on modern prophets are balanced with a sermon series on Biblical giants such as Jonah and Ezekiel. There are plans for more discussion groups and for a course on engaging with prayer and spirituality. Messy Church will take place seven times this year, and it is planned to begin not only a children’s choir, but a new programme of events and activities for secondary school children. We are exploring ways of developing our kitchen area so that we can better host suppers and events, as well as improving accessibility to our loo. We hope to become a hub for pilgrimage in the Cotswolds, providing resources and holding events. We will continue all that we are doing to support our communities in their personal lives and in their work in the world. Our plans and projects require funding, and inflation has eroded the generosity of regular givers. We will be aiming to transfer parish giving to a direct debit system, and encouraging new and long established givers to consider prayerfully how much they can contribute financially to the wellbeing of St Mary’s and All Saints’. And as always, we will continue to welcome all those who come seeking baptisms or weddings, pastoral care and prayer, a friendly welcome and generous hospitality, or simply a quiet place to sit and reflect. Thank you One of the many joys of ministering in the parish of Charlbury with Shorthampton is the many people who help with the wide variety of tasks which go to make up church and community life. The amount of commitment and support which is shown by a large number of parishioners is truly remarkable – and the church could not function without them. Among those who are essential to the successful ministry of this parish are Jo in the parish office, our churchwardens Dine and Paddy, and Brian our treasurer. Their work often goes unnoticed but the running of the building and its congregation is made much smoother by their actions! The hardworking Janet continues as our verger, with the help of Leah and Derek, and the pattern of services is admirably maintained by our team of ministers, choir and organist and many other unsung heroes and helpers. Finally, as always, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Jan Fielden. Her hard work, humour, support and real love for this community are very precious, and her presence among us something to be celebrated.

  • Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches
    Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches By E. T. LONG INTRODUCTION EFORE the Reformation the interiors of our churches glowed with colour Bon walls, roofs, screens, images and altar pieces, while the windows sparkled with the brilliance of painted glass. In the Middle Ages, as comparatively few people could read, it was necessary to teach by means of pictures, which in any case are often more informative than the written or spoken word, and this was the primary purpose of mural paintings. At the Reformation these pictures were ordered to be obliterated as symbols of Popish idolatry, and scriptural texts put in their places. These texts were, of course, intended to be instructive and edifying, and their often decorative value helped to give some colour to the now otherwise hare interiors of the churches. Occasionally, especially in the 17th century, representations of the Apostles and Prophets or Death depicted as a skeleton with spade and hourglass were executed, but generally speaking such pictures were crude compared with their medieval predecessors. During the medieval period later paintings were often superimposed on the originals, some­ times with the same subject but more usually with something entirely different; an example of the former process can be detected at Combe and of the latter formerly at South Newington. Though mural painting was employed from early times in this country, as is proved from remains that have been discovered in Roman villas, it is probable that the earliest examples now surviving belong to the Romanesque period. These paintings are not, as a rule, true frescoes but are executed in tempera on the dry plaster, whereas a fresco is painted on the plaster while it is still moist so tllat the colours are incorporated in it.

  • The Wall-Paintings in St Lawrence's Church, Broughton. John Edwards
    THE WALL-PAINTINGS IN ST LAWRENCE'S CHURCH, BROUGHTON JOHN EDWARDS In addition to collating the existing literature on the fifteenth-century wall-paintings in St Lawrence's Church, Broughton (not to be confused with those at the village of that name in Oxfordshire), the present paper draws attention to the literary background of the Pieta, directed against blasphemers, and points out the several special features of the Doom which do not appear previously to have received the emphasis they deserve. It is, however, the two wall-paintings on the south wall of the nave, the upper of which is usually described as representing St Helena and possibly St Eloi, upon which the present paper concentrates. It argues that the identification of St Eloi cannot be correct, and suggests that St James the Less is more likely. It is further suggested that it is the lower painting which could be expected to have been of St Eloi. The identification of St Helena is also suspect, and the suggestion is made that 'she' might originally have been St Philip the Apostle. The nave of the church of St Lawrence, the sword with which he traditionally overcame Broughton, dates from c.1330, except for its the Devil. Soul-weighing is in fact taking place windows, which were inserted c.13901. After in the middle foreground, where 'the B.V.M. is having been under whitewash since the influencing the balance by pressure of her hand Reformation, wall-paintings of the fifteenth and rosary'6 in accordance with the uncanonical century were uncovered in 18482, and the first miracle attributed to her in the late thirteenth- article about them appeared the year after, century Golden Legend.

  • Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts
    Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts Andrew Breeze University of Navarre, Pampiona Although St Loy the smith was one of the popular saints of late medieval Europe, the British evidence for his legend has never been full y described. In its common form the legend tells how St Loy, while working as a blacksmith, calmed a dangerously rearing horse (believed possessed by the Devil) with the sign of the cross, cut off its leg, shod the leg, and then attached it to the horse again without ill effect. This story was known to Chaucer and St Thomas More, both of whom allude to the saint's power with horses. Other references to the legend in Britain occur in sources as diverse as English art, Welsh poetry, and Protestant polemic. However, in spite of its popularity, this story has been neglected by Anglicists and others, perhaps because it existed almost entirely in oral form. There certainly seems to be no narrative written version of it in medieval British sources. In fact the oral nature of the legend receives striking confinnation from modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic folklore, where the account of the miraculous shoeing. without mention of St Loy, forms the first part of the tale Gabha an (Suic, 'The Smith of the Ploughshare'. Over the last hundred years or so this story has been coll ected from most parts of Ireland by folklore scholars, as well as in a Scottish Gaelic version from Tifee in the Inner Hebrides. We can assume that the tale of the miraculous shoeing was as familiar in medieval English spoken tradition as it has been in the spoken tradition of modem Gaelic communities.
