We are a small rural community known for our warm, friendly welcome. Our lively band of faithful and dedicated members help our community to grow in faith and vitality. Although we mostly come from Northmoor and neighbouring villages in the Lower Windrush valley, some of us travel from further afield, including Witney, Pewsey and St Albans.
Our established choral tradition (Haydn, Mozart, Palestrina) supports our worship and prayer: we welcome gifted musicians and beginners alike to join us.
