St Simon and St Jude’s in Milton under Wychwood is not physically in the centre of the village, but it is in the hearts of many of those who live here.

The congregation at St Simon and St Jude sets out to be a friendly, all-embracing church family, welcoming people of all ages and visitors to our Sunday services and other activities. An active Mothers Union group is run by members of the church, and others take part in weekly home groups and contributing to all aspects of the worship and running of the church.  Church members are thoroughly involved in the community of the Wychwoods, whether providing services and support to the local elderly care homes, at the Wychwood School and in the many local organisations.

The church is open every day during normal working hours and is available for hire for musical events and rehearsals, providing excellent acoustics and the use of a grand piano. The modern church room, used as the Benefice Centre and office with kitchen and toilet facilities is also available for hire.

For details of the next services see the homepage or the calendar.

Address: St John the Baptist, Church Street, Fifield, Chippng Norton OX7 6HF

Fifield is a small civil parish of about 180 people in the West Oxfordshire Cotswolds.  It has been an ecclesiastical parish with Idbury since the 19th century with a combined population of about 240.  The Church of St John the Baptist has indications of there having been a Norman building on the site, and there are also some Early English windows. It was “modernised” in Victorian times, although a plan then to extend into a side aisle on the north side did not take place.”

In 2015 we celebrated the 900th anniversary of a church in Shipton. This is the largest of the churches in the benefice and full of life and activity.

St Mary’s is a broad church congregation embracing a range of services, from Book of Common Prayer to Common Worship – said services, sung services, all-age services & separate children’s activities all take place each month.

Church Choir
We are fortunate to have one of the finest robed choirs in West Oxfordshire. Bernard West is the choir master and organist. The choir consists of approximately 25 voices which includes 9 young people. It supports the worship at the main service each week, in the Anglican choral tradition. The choir also sings further afield, including singing the services for a weekend at a cathedral once a year: recent trips have included Worcester Cathedral and Southwell Minster.

Bell Ringing
The bell tower has 8 working bells, some of them dating back several centuries. We are fortunate to have 9 bell ringers registered to the tower who ring for most principal services. The church recently carried out significant work to repair and improve the bells and tower, and the peal was rededicated by Bishop Colin on 9th June 2019.
