Welcome to the Church of England Parish of Hanborough Website

Welcome to our website and we hope you find what you are looking for. Service times for each of our three congregations are included on this website as are the contact details of our Parish Priest, David Tyler.

We would love to see you at one of our services.

The Parish
The Parish of Hanborough lies approximately 6 miles north-west of Oxford, mid way between the market towns of Woodstock and Witney. This Church of England Parish encompasses two churches: Christ Church in Long Hanborough and St Peter and St Paul in Church Hanborough. 

St Peter and St Paul's worship is traditionally Anglican, while Christ Church meets in the local Primary School, Manor School for its morning service, and offers a relaxed informal service including a Sunday School called Focus and Wayfarers and a creche for under 3s. Evening Services are held in Christ Church.

The Parish is part of the Benefice of Hanborough and Freeland which includes St Mary's Church. The Parish is within the Oxford Diocese and the Benefice sits within the Woodstock Deanery.

Our Community
Hanborough is a village of about 2,500 people. We have a local Church of England Primary School with about 200 children and we are well served by varied local shops, a GPs surgery, many local clubs and societies. In addition to the two Anglican churches in Hanborough there is also a Methodist Church.

Our Aim
Our aim is to bring the love and truth of God to our community and to work with other local churches to do so.

New Curate to join our Benefice

I am delighted to be able to announce to you that this year we will have a curate join our Benefice.  His name is Phil Cooke and he is married to Kath who will serve as curate in Eynsham and Cassington.  They have two children Daniel and Hannah.  Phil will be a self-supporting minister and will spend about 20 hours in the parish.  He and Kath will both be ordained at Petertide next year and then Phil will start with us some time after that.  Please pray for Phil and his family as they prepare to move from Reading
