A hatchment that has hung neglected in the ringing chamber of the tower of All Saints has recently been restored and now hangs resplendently in the nave over the north door, a particularly appropriate position because this was the door through which Bishops of Oxford, resident in the Palace just to the north of the church from the seventeenth century through to the 1970s, would have entered All Saints.

Christmas seems far behind us now but as we begin this month of February you may be surprised to learn that it is only on the 1st that we finally end our Christmas celebrations and turn from the crib to the cross.

One of the aspects of Christmas I have come to really look forward to within the parishes is the presence of lights in their many different forms. 

Congratulations to Martyn Percy who was installed as the new Dean of Christ Church at a stunning service on Saturday 4th October.
