FUNDRAISING FOR OUR TWO CHURCHES
St Marys Charlbury
Dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, St Mary’s Church , Charlbury has been a place of welcome and spiritual refreshment for over 900 years. Visitors to the town, walkers on the Oxfordshire Way, local residents and others are all welcome here, not only to enjoy the building but to take time to reflect in the peace and stillness of this place, a peaceful hub in this hectic world.
All Saints Shorthampton
For over a thousand years, All Saints Church - as part of the parish of St Mary’s, Charlbury - has played a small but important part in the spiritual life of the area. Remote and steeped in the rural community, it offers sanctuary to all comers, whether on horseback, foot or bicycle. Set on a quiet lane not far from Charlbury and quoted by Simon Jenkinson as one of England’s 'Thousand Best Churches’ the church is a rare gem due in the most part to its very ancient wall paintings depicting local heroes of the time.
It is our aim as ‘The Friends of Shorthampton’ to raise a substantial sum for both churches. If you feel able to help in any way, either practically or financially please contact art@amandacooper.co.uk.
