Welcome!

It is my pleasure as Team Rector to welcome you to the Benefice of Witney. The Team Rector, Canon Toby Wright We are an inclusive church embracing a hospitable Christianity. We are five Church of England churches, some large and some small, serving the town of Witney and the villages round about. We work across 11 schools, 6 nursing/care homes and outreach to new communities and to people in need across the area. We believe the church is called to be a community of mercy and kindness. We look forward to welcoming you to an event or service soon.

The Team Rector, Canon Toby Wright
