Our Parish and Its Story

Our Parish is in a residential area of Headington at the intersection of Wharton Road and Margaret Road. The Church is not far from the busy centre of Headington and is only a short journey from the centre of Oxford.

The Parish includes Old Headington, Barton, Risinghurst, Wood Farm and many villages around Wheatley. Within the parish boundaries lie both the house and the grave of C. S. Lewis. Amongst its residents was also, at one time, J. R. R. Tolkien, who used to be a Reader at Corpus Christi.

Today our Parish is a lively community of people whose families have lived here for some time, alongside those who have settled in the area from all over the world. We mirror the international nature of the Church and welcome all who come to gain strength for their journey of life.
