Welcome to the website for St Nicholas Church, Islip, Oxfordshire – whether you have arrived here on purpose or even by accident!
St Nicholas is a village church with a rich history but is today an active place of worship with a dedicated church community seeking to serve the whole of the parish. We are a liberally inclined, inclusive, and, we hope, friendly community which values Anglican traditional worship alongside more contemporary expressions of faith and worship.
We are currently one of eight parishes making up the Ray Valley Benefice which extends from north of Oxford along the River Ray to Ambrosden (just south of Bicester).
We welcome enquiries for baptisms and weddings at the church and visitors and enquirers at any of our services. Click here for our diary.
