  • Team Profile for the Appointment of a House for Duty Team Vicar to Serve the Villages of Ipsden and North Stoke Within the Langtree Team Ministry
    TEAM PROFILE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A HOUSE FOR DUTY TEAM VICAR TO SERVE THE VILLAGES OF IPSDEN AND NORTH STOKE WITHIN THE LANGTREE TEAM MINISTRY The Appointment The Bishop of Dorchester and the Team Rector are seeking to appoint a Team Vicar to serve two of the rural parishes which make up the Langtree Team Ministry. The Langtree Team is in a large area of outstanding natural beauty and lies at the southern end of the Chilterns. It is in the Henley Deanery and the Dorchester Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Oxford. The villages lie in an ancient woodland area once known as Langtree, with Reading to the south (about 12 miles), Henley-on-Thames to the east (about 10 miles) and Wallingford to the northwest (about 3 miles). The Team was formed in 1981 with Checkendon, Stoke Row and Woodcote. In 1993 it was enlarged to include the parishes of Ipsden and North Stoke with Mongewell. The Team was further enlarged in 2003 to include the parish of Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. The combined electoral roll (2019) for our parishes was 308. The Team’s complete ministerial staff has the Team Rector serving Checkendon and Stoke Row, a stipendiary Team Vicar at Woodcote and non-stipendiary Team Vicars on a house- for-duty basis serving (a) Ipsden and North Stoke and (b) Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. There is a licensed Reader, a non-stipendiary Team Pastor and a part time Administrator. The Langtree Team staff provide support for the parishes in developing their response to local ministry needs.

  • 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.

  • From the Chairman of the Parish Council
    FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PARISH COUNCIL I mentioned in the last report that I thought summer was fast approaching however as I write this today it seems to be still thinking about it. Thank goodness we have had good weather when we needed it. I speak particularly of the Queen’s birthday celebrations on the Village Green which was well attended and everyone had such a good time in the sunshine listening to the excellent band, eating and drinking and just all enjoying each other’s company. Well done to the people who organised it all, too many to list, but I know that our village can always rely on people to step up to the mark when we need them! We have had good success with the bus service which was going to be discontinued as the subsidy from OCC is being removed. However we have got together with Goring Heath PC and agreed to share the costs so that it will continue until next April. The important thing is that we use it as much as we can so we can justify the expenditure. Another bit of good news is the re-surfacing of The Cut which we have been trying to get fixed for many years and now it’s done, many residents have expressed their delight when walking along it. We also hosted the Village Plan consultation which was attended by around 50 residents, all keen to let us know what they had in mind for the development of the village or alternatively what they wanted to stay the same.

This was brought home to me recently when a pet was sadly killed in Crays Pond by a car travelling at excessive speed, and when one of our Councillors men- tioned that he had personally observed how frequently cars were driving beyond the speed limits whilst he was working on repairing one of our bus shelters. This clearly puts our community at risk. In turn, I find it surprising how challenging it is to get the support and action of Oxford County Council (OCC) Highways to help address this, given how obvious it is that it is the right thing to do and all the tail winds in society point to the benefits of reduced speeds in general, whether for safety or environmental considerations.
