Hanborough Parish News February 2016 Visit us online at: www.hanboroughparish.co.uk Three Congregations: One God, One Parish Our Rector, Rev David Tyler, writes this month… Dear friends, I have at mes had people say to me ‘why do you keep needing to confess in church’ ‐ or ‘I don't like the fact that you have to say sorry all the me in church’. I understand why people say that to me, but I think there is more to it than just saying sorry ‐ and I think that there is something important about saying sorry that none of us should miss out on. We are soon to enter the season of Lent ‐ a season which is all to do with saying sorry. So why say sorry and why is it important to do so ‐ when perhaps quite a few of us are not very good at doing it (including me!). If we really understand who God is then we can't but help to realise that we do need to say sorry. God is holy and perfect ‐ God has never done anything wrong and he can't abide any wrongdoing or evil. (Noce he doesn't stop loving those who do wrong ‐ he just doesn't love what they are doing.) So it is important to say sorry and recognise that we are not God and that we do get things wrong. But there is also something else. I meet quite a few people who have done something wrong, perhaps something serious, but who can't forgive themselves for it. It is really important to say sorry to God SO THAT we can receive the forgiveness that he offers to all of us no maer what we have done. So as we enter this season of Lent let us be willing to say sorry ‐ sorry to God and sorry to anyone else you may need to apologise to, and as you do so be willing to accept the forgiveness that God offers us all. May you know that you are loved and forgiven.

  • Hanborough to Charlbury Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Hanborough to Charlbury walk Blenheim Palace, its beautiful landscaped parkland, a Roman road, and flint stone villages. Blenheim Palace & Cornbury Park Length 22.1km (13.7 miles), 6 hours. For the whole outing, including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 11 hours. Toughness 5 out of 10. OS Maps Explorer 180 or Landranger 164. Hanborough, map reference SP 433 142, is in Oxfordshire, 7km north-west of Oxford. Features This is a lovely walk, just an hour and a quarter's journey by train from London into Oxfordshire's countryside and the extensive grounds of Blenheim palace. The River Evenlode and its soft, easy hills and fertile countryside inspired Tolkien’s Hobbit Shire. The start of the walk is good for blackberries in September. Before lunch, there are the 2,100 acres of the Great Park leading to Blenheim Palace, its lake and the Column of Victory that the first Duke of Marlborough had placed on the horizon so that he could see it from his bedroom. Once over the wall out of the Park, the route is along Akeman Street, the Old Roman road from Alchester to Cirencester, with big stone slabs from the old road still visible in places. This is now part of the Oxfordshire Way and the leg of over a mile to Stonesfield is through open farmland and progress can be hard work if into the wind. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/hanborough-to-charlbury/ 1/19 At lunchtime you could picnic in the meadow by the Stonesfield Ford and the old slate quarries, or have a pub lunch in the village.

    HANBOROUGH GATE Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire Made for life. Join our legacy. Since 1927, Pye Homes has always taken the same pride in the homes and communities we have built in Oxfordshire. Although many things have changed in that time, our values have stayed the same, because so much of what was true then is still true today. We always take the same care in how we build, because that care ensures that your home is built to last. It means that everything about your home is perfectly placed, from the moment we lay the foundations, to the moment we open your door to show you around. By combining the best innovations in design and materials which have stood the test of time, we build in harmony with nature and the local legacy, so that new homes simply belong as part of a community, right from the start. It means always giving the same kind of personal care and integrity that our founder Jack Pye would recognise and be proud to acknowledge with his famous handshake. Those values, and that same regard for legacy, has led us to join with Blenheim and to make our commitment to their Legacy Principles. Together we share a desire for progress alongside a deep-rooted sense of place and enduring connection to our neighbours and local communities. Pye Homes. Made for life. 2 3 “Unlike many new developments, Hanborough Gate has been thoughtfully designed with plenty of green spaces and a feeling of openness which was important to us. It is also in a wonderful location being close to numerous walks through villages, woods and along the riverside.
