For those that were not able to attend the Remembrance Sunday Service at the War Memorial on Sunday 9th November 2025, you can find the words spoken about James Wearn on his page here, along with a more detailed biography and links to relevant artefacts and further information.

I've also taken the time to update the information about Tom Titcombe, who was spoken about back in 2018 on the 100th anniversary of The Armistice, you can find that information on Tom's page here. With much help from a distant relative of Tom's (Richard Titcombe) we've been able to fill in the gaps, I think it's a fascinating tale of Great Coxwell life from the late 19th into the 20th century.

If you have any more stories or information on these 2 soldiers, or any of the soldiers commemorated on the memorial (you can find a list here) please email me.

For those new to the village you might like to know that in remembrance of the soldiers of Great Coxwell the streets on the development on land of Steeds Farm were named for them. The land formed part of the Parish of Great Coxwell before the development and the Parish Council were asked to name the streets, now called Fern Hill Gardens, James H Wearn and James L Wearn were commemorated with a road name (Wearn Road) on the opposite side of the Coxwell Road.

Many thanks,

I would like to thank everyone who attended the special Remembrance Service on Sunday 9th November and to the village committee who organized the drinks and nibbles in the Reading Room afterwards.

The donations amounted to £95 which were given to the Church towards roof repairs.

Thank you for this generous donation.

Regards all,
Reverend Maureen (on behalf of St Giles' Church).

The Christmas decoration of the Great Coxwell St Giles Church will take place on Wednesday 10th December starting at 2.30 pm. The Flower Ladies would welcome anyone who would like to join them to assist in the decoration.
 
Also, any greenery from your garden such as Cypress, Ivy, Rosemary, Holly (wonderful if it has berries as well), eucalyptus etc. Flowers are welcome but not essential. This can be left outside the Church or we can collect.

Please let Mandy know if you can assist and/or have greenery we can collect on 07968 439408.

Please join us for this wonderful milestone. 19 years ago we had our first concert at Stonevale, never thinking that we might do it again. However, it was so successful that we decided to try it a few more times, and now we are at number 200, 19 years later. And we have our original musician coming back for this concert, Christopher Terepin, now an established cellist. 

Please book your tickets or let me know if you want to reserve seats.  

Full details in the attached.

Best wishes,
Lynette

All tickets for the party have now sold out.
