Osney Benefice

General information

Welcome to the facebook page of St Frideswide Church, Botley Road, Oxford.

We are glad you have visited us!

Who are we?
We are the Anglican church serving the vibrant district of West Oxford and Osney Island. We are part of the Osney Benefice, working in partnership with our next door neighbour parish, North Hinksey & Botley.

St Frideswide’s is dedicated to the patroness of Oxford. Since our church was founded in the nineteenth century, we have built up Christians in the faith through the celebration of the sacraments and the study of Holy Scripture.

Sunday Worship
The church has a relaxed Anglo-Catholic tradition, and our regular worship is focused on the Eucharist. We are a small, friendly, all-age congregation who welcome regular, sojourner and seeker alike. We aim to provide worship and learning opportunities that are inclusive to all and to that end are working hard to become more child and family friendly.

Please see the side panel on this page for our regular service times and other activities.

Baptisms, weddings and funerals
Our beautiful church is a public building, here for the community it serves. If you live in our parish or have a connection with our parish, we welcome you to celebrate a baptism or to get married here. Our clergy are also available to conduct funeral services in the church or at the crematorium. Do contact us if we can help.

Events
St Frideswide's enjoys hosting a range of public events which includes organ recitals on its magnificently restored Hunter Organ, and the very popular and busy twice yearly craft fairs. Keep any eye on the page for events news
