Who are we?

The Church of England Benefice of Chalgrove with Berrick Salome is in the Aston & Cuddesdon Deanery of the Diocese of Oxford. The other church in the Benefice is St.Helen’s Church at Berrick Salome. Our Patron is Christ Church Oxford.

We have been here since Saxon times, though the oldest part of our building is later (around 1150). We have been part of this community through thick and thin for the whole of its history. (Click here for more of our history).

We are a Church that believes in welcome. Our congregation is drawn from a range of Christian traditions. In recent years, the St Mary’s congregation and the Chalgrove Methodist Chapel congregation decided to amalgamate. Since then, we have worked together to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this community.

Our worship reflects our range of traditions and our mission. Our Anglican services are a mix of traditional and modern language, said and sung, and we are delighted to have our choir when they are available. We have a monthly Methodist Worship Book Communion, celebrated by our Methodist Circuit minister. Once a month, we have a lively all-age Messy Church service, which is growing steadily in attendance. (Click here to see our usual monthly service pattern).
