Catherine Harrison of the Village Hall Committee writes …
A huge thank‑you to everyone for your continued support as we keep improving our much‑loved Village Hall.
The main hall has now been freshly painted and fitted with new LED lighting. We’ve added a new fridge‑freezer in the kitchen and refreshed signage throughout the building. But we’re not stopping there! We are also looking to freshen up the bathrooms and kitchen hopefully over the summer holiday period.
We are delighted that we now have a Treasurer but are still looking for one more active committee member — just one hour every four to six weeks for meetings, plus occasional project support. Current committee members are Tory Edwards, Catherine Harrison, Sarah Burke, Sarah Murdoch and Matt Harrison. Feel free to contact the Chair email (see below) or chat to any of us if you’d like to get involved.
We’re also opening up summer volunteering opportunities for light gardening, weeding, and sprucing up outdoor benches and pots (painting, patching, sanding). If you can spare a few hours on a weekend this summer please send your details to chair@lwvillagehall.uk so we can share proposed dates and times.
A big thank you to our brilliant trades who’ve helped us so far: PMS Oxford, Gowan Hunt (Painter & Decorator), and Matt Clamp (Electrician).

Revd David Haylett writes …
Next Sunday, 14th June, is traditionally the Sunday when we celebrate the dedication of St Mary’s Church just over 900 years ago.
Since then the building has been the place where villagers are married, have their children baptised and, when the time came, held their funeral service and were Continue reading
