Calling all bell-ringers

If you've ever wanted to have a go at bell ringing, now is your opportunity! One of our regular team has left meaning that there's now no cover for holidays or sickness. The team are therefore looking for a part-time volunteer to help out on occasion. Full details can be obtained from Rev. Pat Freeth at The Vicarage, Cropredy, OX17 1NG, tel 01295 750980, email pfreeth@toucansurf.com Whilst any volunteers are welcome to stay for the service, it's by no means a prerequisite so please don't think that you're signing up for every service as well!

It’s Official!

This is now the official Wardington Parish website. The old Cherwell District Council website will no longer be maintained and the link from the main council website now comes here.
