History and Map of Site The site originated in 2007 as an online version of the church guidebook and a repository for the extensive research done in preparation for the John Mason memorial celebrations in 2008. It was hosted on the parish section of the Oxford Diocesan website for several years but that facility was withdrawn in 2013 and the opportunity was taken to transfer to an independent site which would serve the village rather than just the church. The new site opened in July 2013 and from June 2015 this map has been annotated with the most recent date on which a particular page was updated. All blue texts below are links, so bold type has not been used.
