​Friends of St Giles Church news

9/5/2025

 
We are in the process of setting up a dedicated website and social media group to keep everyone up to date on our progress with the church roof rebuild work, plus some new amenities.  For now though, we will occasionally use this channel for important news.

With the imminent departure of Pat Cook to pastures new (the other end of the British Isles!) we are now in urgent need of a new Treasurer for the charity. The basic structure for the accounts and a dedicated bank account are both in place, so if anyone has an hour or so a week to help us, we would be very grateful.  Once the fund-raise starts in earnest, we will be handling significant sums, so someone with relevant experience (and ideally qualifications) would be most welcome.  If anyone can help, please contact Colin Hamling at ‘Toban’ (opposite the Vicarage) in the first instance. 

Contemplation Garden and St Giles

9/5/2025

The Vicar is delighted to report that an interpretation board has been installed at St Giles. It gives a colourful invitation to enjoy the church and its landscape setting including the wildlife contemplation garden. The artwork was donated by local artist Christine Purdy and the design work by Dale and Sarah of Juicy Designs at Olde Willows. Richard Smith and Dale have installed it. 
 
St Giles and the Contemplation Garden welcomes visitors throughout Art Weeks.

Flowers and Tomatoes

7/5/2025

 
Help! Jane says her tomatoes (her usual range of different types, cherry, and traditional, red, golden etc) are all ready for sale now - and are growing out of their pots!  Annual flowers (cosmos, tobacco plant, African and French marigolds etc) are ready too and need new homes! 
  
Please contact her today if possible (01367 241367) or leave a message to secure your usual order (or to try something different and even more exciting!) - please collect the plants from Foxley (but delivery could be arranged.)

All proceeds for St Giles church.  Please give Jane a ring  (01367 241367)
(NB There is no plant stall at the church during Art Weeks this year)
​

Jane’s Tomato Plants etc

3/5/2025

 
Jane is taking orders for her tomato plants now – the  usual range of varieties  will be ready in two weeks‘  time.  Geraniums, Gazanias, French and African marigolds and tobacco plants will be available then as well.

Ready now are Cosmos, Sunflowers  and Petunias, all being sold from Foxley  (pink cottage towards the bottom of the village) in aid of St Giles church.   01367 241367.

Art Weeks Pop-up Cafe

29/4/2025

 
"Art Weeks" is happening on:

  • 10th & 11th May
  • 17th & 18th May

As usual we are looking for people to help us in our pop-up cafe in the Reading Room and to bake lots of cakes. We are looking to cover 34 shifts and we need 40 cakes.

Money raised is paid into the Community Fund. This money is all spent on various projects for the benefit of the Village. Over the past few years we have raised over £22,000.

This year we have spent money painting the railings of the Reading room, a new kitchen floor, planting the flowerbeds, supporting the new Art Group, Men's Night and the The Christmas Fayre.

If you are able to work a shift, bake a cake or give a donation of food please contact Pam on 01367 240233 / 07443 636497 or email [email protected]

It is fun but we need your help!
 
Thanks
Pam

Pavlova Quintet - Sunday 27th April, 4pm at St Giles' Church, Great Coxwell

23/4/2025

 
Just a reminder that we have our next concert on Sunday the 27th of April at St Giles' Church, Great Coxwell.  

The Pavlova Wind Quintet, based in Oxford and Abingdon, give concerts throughout Oxfordshire. They have an impressively broad repertoire that includes music in several styles, from arrangements of light-hearted favourite tunes, to the more substantial classics for wind quintet.

The aim of the group has been from the outset to explore the more unusual and exciting areas of the wind quintet repertoire. They delight in mixing the familiar and the unfamiliar, classical and ethnic, serene and virtuosic.

Over the years, the group has become one of the most enterprising and high-profile ensembles in Oxfordshire.
 
Sunday's concert will be the perfect afternoon with some lighter repertoire, including Cohn's Arkansas Reel, Sherman's A Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square, Butterworth's Banks of Green Willow, and more.
 
I am including a poster with more details.  Please join us if you can.

St Giles Church - Palm Sunday

10/4/2025

 
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, a week before Easter Day.  This year it is our turn at St Giles to host the service at the usual time of 10.30 when palm crosses will be given out to the congregation.  It will start outside (weather permitting) in the Contemplation Garden at 10.25 and will then move into the church.
 
Please come and join us.
