access and viewing

(click here for larger map)

Please note that the doors of the church are normally locked (due to past experience of vandalism), though during daylight hours the west doors of the church are normally opened, allowing access to a porch, from which a good view of the interior may be had, through a barred inner grille.  A prayer stool is provided in the porch.

Arrangements may be made to gain entry and visit the church interior. Requests to visit should be made to the Vicar, preferably giving plenty of notice. The church is situated in the heart of the old village, on a junction with Henley Road.

There is a bus stop opposite and regular though infrequent bus service is provided from Oxford.  Alternatively, visitors from Oxford may catch one of the more frequent buses to Rose Hill, just inside the Oxford ring road, and walk the half mile or so, to the church, passing below the ring road through a pedestrian underpass.

For those travelling by car, the church may best be approached from three directions:

• From Henley and the south:
  Travel north on the A4074 through Newnham Courteney, and about 1 mile after entering the marked outskirts of the village, the church will be found on the right, after passing Littlemore Mental Health Centre and crossing a small railway bridge.

• From the southeast and A40 (London)
  On reaching the 'Headington Roundabout' on the Oxford ring road, turn left for Cowley.  Follow the dual carriageway for some two or three miles, past the BMW Mini works (stay on the flyover).  Then take the left hand lane, ignore the next turning, and then turn left at the (first) 'Littlemore Roundabout'.  You will find the church at a junction about half a mile into the village.

• From the A34 on the west of Oxford (the A34 runs north-south)
  Leave the A34 at the 'Hinksey Hill Roundabout' and follow the Oxford ring road south and east towards Cowley.  Continue along the ring road over two roundabouts (there is a Sainsbury's supermarket at the second), heading for Cowley, and you will come to the third 'Littlemore Roundabout'.  Turn right here, into the Village, and you will find the church on the junction in half a mile or so.
