A bronze axe head and Roman coins made of silver were among finds when metal detectorists returned on Wednesday to work on fields alongside Forest Road. The man who unearthed the Walcot hoard of Roman bronze confirmed that all the coins discovered two weeks ago are now being examined by the British Museum.

From Friday November 29, the full-cream milk at the Charlbury Deli will be from the North Cotswold Dairy at Butlers Road Farm, Long Compton.
For the moment, the Deli will just be selling the dairy’s North Cotswold milk. But as soon as the farm’s cream-making machinery is repaired – which we think will be in time for Christmas – it will be selling their delicious cream and it will soon be selling milkshakes from their milk too.
Said Deli director and shop manager Lynne Stubbles “We’ll still be selling semi-skimmed milk from ordinary dairies for customers who prefer it in their tea or coffee. But nothing beats proper full cream on our morning porridge – or for customers who want to bake a rice pudding”.
North Cotswold Dairy’s Facebook page gives a flavour of how it operates.
Customers will be able to sample the milk till 8 pm on December 6 at the Deli’s Christmas shopping evening - along with free samples of some terrific new Cotswold drinks, local bacon, cured venison and charcuterie and some fabulous panetonne.

Some people will have heard that Churches Together in Charlbury and West Oxfordshire UNA were trying to organise an election hustings in Charlbury as we have done previously. This was to have taken place in the Memorial Hall tonight, 27th November. Initially all the candidates appeared to be willing to attend, but after the arrangements were made one candidate failed to reply to messages for over a week and the hustings were reluctantly cancelled. A message was then received that the candidate was not prepared to attend. Although some hustings have been arranged with 6th forms in schools, there does not appear to be a public meeting with all the candidates planned anywhere in this constituency. We are very disappointed and concerned about the lack of opportunities for voters to question candidates in what will be a crucial election for our country.

Thank you to everyone that came and supported the Christmas Fair on Sunday put on by Charlbury Street Fair. Another successful fundraising event all in aid of the Corner House and Memorial Hall.
A huge thank you to all the volunteers and stallholders who helped make this event a great success and also a special thank you to Santa, who came to give out a few early gifts to the children. This event wouldn't run without the hard work and commitment from everyone, so thank you.
Next year's Christmas Fair will be held on Sunday 29th November 2020 so put the date in your diaries, as we'd love to see even more of you at the next one!
We hope you all have a wonderful festive season as we head into December and a very happy and prosperous 2020.
With very best wishes, the Street Fair Christmas Team!
