What’s on
Cottsway Housing Association is inviting feedback on proposals to redevelop Evenlode, a former sheltered housing scheme in Charlbury.
The existing building is no longer fit for purpose and does not meet modern standards. The proposal is to demolish the building and three associated garages and replace them with 15 high-quality one and two-bedroom apartments for people aged 55+.
If planning permission is granted, the new homes would be available to people who cannot afford to buy or rent on the open market.
What’s being proposed
The plans include:
- 15 one and two-bed apartments for people aged 55+ in housing need.
- Parking beneath the building, including electric vehicle charging points
- Air source heat pumps for heating and hot water
- Mobility scooter and cycle storage
Have your say
Before a planning application is submitted, you can see their plans and speak with the development team at:
- War Memorial Hall, Browns Lane, Charlbury, OX7 3QW
- On Tuesday 24 February between 5pm – 7.30pm
If you can’t attend, full details of the proposals will be available online from Tuesday 17 February to Monday 9 March 2026, including plans and an online feedback form. See:
• www.cottsway.co.uk/evenlode
Cottsway have written to nearby residents directly to let them know their plans and how they can give feedback All comments received during the consultation period will be reviewed and, where requested, responded to.

Anyone who would like to be involved in the next steps project for our nature recovery activities is invited to an initial meeting at 2pm on Thursday 26th February, at the Friends Meeting House in Market Street where we will be planning our activities for the first few months of 2026, including planting up seeds of several of the native wildflowers of particular interest and value locally, to plant into verges and other public (or private) areas.
We have agreed with the Quakers that we can keep some of our initial plants in part of their garden there, but we will also be encouraging people to care for some of the pots at home, to maximise the chances of germination and survival.
We would love to have people’s ideas about what seeds to collect and grow, what composts to be using, as well as how often to meet, so please do join us and have your say in what you want to achieve and how we can develop as a team. If you can't join us this time, then please send a message to the Town Clerk, Lisa Wilkinson to forward to us, to suggest the best days and times for future meetings.

This is the third in a series of talks for Lent held in St Mary's parish church on Tuesdays at 7.30pm. The theme of the series is 'moved by love'.
The speaker on 10 March is Professor Mark Chapman known to some of us as the priest who often starts the Levellers Day in Burford by re-telling the story of the three soldiers executed on Oliver Cromwell’s orders in Burford churchyard in 1649. They belonged to a movement popularly known as the Levellers, with beliefs in civil rights and religious tolerance.
Mark Chapman is Professor of the History of Modern Theology at the University of Oxford and Distinguished Fellow of Ripon College Cuddesdon where he taught for 32 years. He has written widely on many aspects of modern church history and theology and is the author and editor of over 30 books. He is now enjoying semi-retirement in Pershore.
This talk addresses the question of the living out the radical justice demanded by the Gospel in relation to love for the poor. It takes as its example the life and work of one of the most interesting slum priests of the late nineteenth century, Fr Robert Dolling of Portsmouth. It contrasts his method of sharing a common life with the destitute of his parish with the 'benevolent picknicking' of the settlement movement, which nurtured many of the architects of the Welfare State. It also looks at some of the later forays by the church into issues of social justice, before offering a few reflections for the future.
Doors open at 7pm. Admission free. Donations towards expenses and Christian Aid. Everyone is welcome.

Power Station tells the heartwarming and often funny story of a community project that turned an ordinary residential street in Northeast London into a producer of solar electricity.
The film follows Walthamstow-based artists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn as they gain local support and raise the funds needed to put solar panels on the rooves of 30 homes in their neighbourhood.
Power Station is about neighbours, persistence, and small steps adding up to something meaningful. By the end, it leaves you feeling hopeful—and maybe wondering what could happen on your own street if people decided to work together. It also makes you laugh.
Doors open with bar at 6pm. Film starts at 6.30pm. Stay with us for what promises to be a lively Q&A session with filmaker Dan Edelstyn at 8.15pm. Event ends at 8.45 pm.

This is the last in a series of talks for Lent held in St Mary's parish church on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm. The theme of the talks is 'moved by love'.
The speaker is the Rev. Dr Elizabeth Koepping. She trained in Social Anthropology and later in Theology, She taught anthropology at universities in Australia and Germany, and then World Christianity at Edinburgh until retiring in 2014, after which she returned to Germany as Chaplain to the English Church in Heidelberg. In 2016 she settled in Charlbury and is a member of the ministry team at Charlbury parish church. Her main area of research since 1966/70 has been among village people in Borneo.
This illustrated talk will look at two aspects of community: as a collection of people who are linked to each other only to the extent each wishes, or an intentional community of people pledged to follow a particular practices coming from a shared world view. The substance of the talk comes from a book Elizabeth is currently writing for the people of the Borneo village to which she has been attached for sixty years to document their history. This has changed over the last century from a close knit group in which behaviour was tightly controlled to more of a loose collection of individuals. Yet it remains a community, and though some regret the loss of the integrated past, others recognise the downside. It will give us a chance to consider what we mean by community and how we experience community life today.
Doors open at 7pm. Admission free. Donations will be welcome towards expenses and for Christian Aid. Everyone is welcome.

Ann Lowe will share her passion for textiles and show some of the wonderful textile art she has made.
During a forty plus year career in the NHS, textiles, in many guises, played an important part in Ann's life as a hobby and stress reducer.
A skilled stitcher, both by hand and machine free motion, Ann has developed a special enjoyment in designing her own pieces. These range from useable craft objects to wall hangings, both large and small and include a variety of fabrics and threads, many of which are dyed and printed by her. Creating textural surfaces plays an important role in her work.

Tuesday 21 April 2026 19.30-21.00 hrs
David Green, Head of Innovation, Blenheim
Friends Meeting House, Charlbury
David will talk about how, collaborating with Oxford Brookes University, they monitor and understand biodiversity across the estate from the air to deep within the soil, using bioacoustics – digital sensors and remote technology to gather data. Initially focusing on bird and bat recordings they now study the hidden acoustic world of soil, exploring the soundscape of the soil environment and its relationship to ecological processes of soil life - as indicators of soil health and ecosystem dynamics.

Compared to 59 species of butterfly in the UK, moths make up an amazingly diverse group, there are more than 2500 species of moth but because they are mostly active at night, we don't see them. Moths are indicators of a healthy ecosystem and are a key source of food for birds and bats and other insectivorous creatures; and in pollination.
Dr Julian Parfit from Wild Wantage will help us identify local moths, learn to set up a moth trap, grow plants for moths and more.

Illustrator and artist-reporter George Butler reports from conflict zones, climate hotspots and humanitarian crises, using pen, ink and watercolour to tell deeply human stories that go beyond the headlines.
In an age of Generative AI and relentless digital news, artist and reporter George offers a powerful alternative: slowing down to truly see.
Through hand-drawn reportage from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Angola, and Gaza, George shares extraordinary human stories that never reached the front pages — stories that bring depth, context, and empathy to most significant events of this century.
This visually rich, thought-provoking talk challenges audiences to look beyond headlines and photography, and to view the world through an artist’s eyes: with empathy, compassion, and creativity.

The 2026 Charlbury Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 27 June at Charlbury Cricket Club, from noon till late. There will be around 60 real ales, a variety of craft beers, a range of ciders and perries, wine, gin, and Pimm’s; a great selection of food (including vegan options); tea, cake and soft drinks; live music throughout; the Culture Club tent with its varied programme of performances and talks; children’s entertainment and activities; and high-octane sport with the World Aunt Sally Singles Championships.
All money raised by the Beer Festival is given out to community projects, both in the Charlbury area and overseas. We have now taken our total of funds raised for good causes to around £330,000. There have been donations to over fifty local organisations, ranging from Charlbury Primary School and the town’s Pre-School, to local sports clubs, Charlbury’s Day Centre and Community Centre, and overseas projects in Africa, India, South America and elsewhere.
We must thank those generous sponsors who finance the beers and the entertainment tents, and of course, the beers themselves, plus the many hours that committee members and other volunteers put in. Cheers all round!
Charlbury Cricket Club provides a glorious setting, just across the road from Charlbury Station. There are excellent all-day (including late night) bus and train services to and from Charlbury to Oxford, Chipping Norton, Reading, Witney, Worcester and London, so you don’t even need to drive if you want to have a drink. To keep up to date with the festival, please visit our website and follow our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).

Claude Bourbon takes you on a captivating musical journey that defies borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar, his music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta, the warmth of the Balearic Islands, the rich traditions of the Balkans, and back again.
His style blends Spanish blues with Gypsy rhythms, Eastern European melodies, and touches of flamenco inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences from Ritchie Blackmore, Joaquín Rodrigo, JJ Cale, and even J.S. Bach can be heard in his rich, intricate playing.
With flawless timing and astonishing technique, Claude does things on six strings most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical, and Spanish guitar—all brought together in one unforgettable performance.

Why Walls Matter:
Exploring wallpaper in the eighteenth-century home
A talk by Clare Taylor
Clare’s talk will shine a light on the patterns, styles and methods used to produce wallpaper during the eighteenth century, a period when its use became widespread in Britain.
She will explore block printed and flocked wallpapers, as well as hand painted wallpapers imported from Asia.
The talk will combine evidence from letters and bills with examples of surviving fragments of wallpaper and the houses where it was hung.
Clare is Professor of Art History and Material Cultures at The Open University. She is the author of The Design, Production and Consumption of Eighteenth-Century Wallpaper in Britain (Routledge, 2018).
Clare is a specialist in the historic interior and has recently been a Visting Research Fellow at the V&A where she has been working on the Museum’s wallpaper collection.
