Welcome to our Parish
Welcome to the Anglican Parish of Kidlington with Hampton Poyle, in the Diocese of Oxford, and welcome to our three churches.
Kidlington is one of the largest villages in England. Although only six miles north of Oxford, parishioners are proud of our community life and our independence from the city. The village is served by two churches: the mediaeval Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, at the eastern side; and The Church of St John the Baptist at the southern end of the village. Separated from Kidlington by the meadows of the River Cherwell is Hampton Poyle, a hamlet served by The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Hampton Poyle.
Our churches were built for all in the
community, and have been used day in and day
out for close to 800 years. The doors of the two St
Mary's are open each day and you are welcome to come
in and enjoy the ancient spaces. There are
many interesting things to see. The chapel at
St John's is open each weekday morning for
quiet prayer. Do join us at any of our
services, or use the quiet spaces to sit,
think, pray, light a candle, and listen for
God; or even shout at him!

Coming Up
2020 Consultation
Thurs 2nd Nov, 8pm
In 2020 St Mary's will be 800 years old. Celebrate we will, but we also want to improve our community facilities as a lasting legacy for Kidlington village. The 2nd Nov is a consultation evening for all who have an interest in St Mary's. Do you use the Church or Refectory already? Would you if either had better facilities? Come along at 8pm to the Refectory behind St Mary's to share your thoughts. [More...]Some parish and church activities
