Story
Both St Marys Hampton Poyle and St Marys Kidlington are just about 800 years old and they have been at the heart of their local communities for all that time. So we are making plans for work on both buildings to make them more able to serve the community now and in the future.
So many groups use, or want to use, both these beautiful old churches but the current facilities are not appropriate for modern day standards. People cannot visit Hampton Poyle for any period of time without toilet facilities so we cant run many events in this much-loved gem. St Marys Kidlington hosts so many larger scale events and services as well as childrens and adult midweek groups. The hall facilities really need upgrading and making accessible so that we can continue to serve local people. And nothing can happen without a solid roof!
So our 2020 Project is raising funds for:
a top quality accessible community hall, with office, meeting room, and modern facilities behind St Marys Kidlington
a water-tight roof for St Marys Kidlington
an (accessible) toilet and servery for St Marys Hampton Poyle.
