Parish of Kidlington
with Hampton Poyle
Welcome
Welcome to the Anglican Parish of Kidlington
with Hampton Poyle, in the Diocese of Oxford.
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. Separated from Kidlington by
the meadows of the River Cherwell is Hampton
Poyle, a hamlet served by another church
dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.

Coming Up
World Day of Prayer
All are invited to share in a special
service to celebrate the World Day of
Prayer at St John's Church in Kidlington
on Friday 1st March, 7.00pm. WDP is an
international and ecumenical day of
prayer. This year
the service was written by women in
Slovenia with the theme of Come -
Everything is Ready!
You are warmly invited
to this service. There will be
refreshments after the service. We look
forward to seeing you there.
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. Use the
quiet spaces to sit, think, pray, light a
candle, and listen for God — or join
us at any of our services.
