Our Parish
Welcome to the Parish of Bampton with Clanfield. We are a welcoming and inclusive group of five rural churches serving our communities in the villages of Bampton, Clanfield, Aston, Cote, Shifford, and Lew in West Oxfordshire. Please look at our individual churches pages for information about our communities and history. The What’s On page has up to date information about events in our parish, and service times can be found on the homepage.
Our Clergy
Vicar
Reverend Janice is our Vicar who has been with us since 2018. Janice previously served as a Vicar in the Diocese of Liverpool as well as Area Dean and an Honorary Canon of Liverpool Cathedral. Before being ordained in 2001 Reverend Janice worked as a Physiotherapist for the NHS.
I moved to Bampton on retirement in the Spring of 2023. I am married to Judith. I was ordained in 1984 and have served in Carlisle, Oxford, Chester and Gloucester Dioceses. Most of my ministry has been in rural parishes and I also served as the Diocesan Worship Adviser whilst in Chester Diocese. My hobbies are reading and listening to a wide range of music.
I am a retired priest living with my wife Claire in Aston. After a long career in Her Majesty’s service, the call to ministry came 30 years ago. I trained on the Oxford course, serving my curacy in the Cotswolds, and was the town priest in Stourbridge, West Midlands, until retirement 14 years ago. Since then I have been assisting churches in the Witney area and also in Europe. My interests include keeping fit, gym, yoga, cycling, the War Graves, and I enjoy a broad churchmanship.
