The Village News Magazine

The first issue of the Village News appeared in January 1979. In those days it was a parish magazine for the three villages of Kirtlington, Weston-on-the-Green and Bletchingdon. As the populations grew and the production task became unmanageable, each village’s magazine became an independent operation. Looking through the archive, we see the first time our magazine was published under the name of Kirtlington Village News was Issue 66 for December 89 / January 90. In August 2020 Kirtlington Village News celebrated its 250th edition and continues to keep readers in touch with what is going on in the village.

The Village News is published six times a year, and delivered to all those villagers who pay their annual subscription or individual copies can be bought in one of the village pubs.  To keep subscriptions down we welcome advertising from local businesses – if you would like to support the community while also advertising your business please contact kirtlingtonvillagenews@gmail.com.

Our aim is to share stories relevant to the village, capture news about our school, church, villagers, and alert villagers to upcoming events and celebrations.  We also publish obituaries of villagers we have lost.

Do share any stories with us that you feel would relevant to include in the News and also alert us to upcoming events. You can reach us on kirtlingtonvillagenews@gmail.com .

The magazine is now compiled by a team.  The editor is currently Stephanie Hilborne with support from Cas Lester, Gareth Lewis and Karin Andre.  Paul Clifford manages the finances and advertising and Hilary McPhee the subscriptions.  Rosemary Lewis leads a brilliant team of distributors.

Feb/March Edition – deadline to receive copy Jan 15th.  Published on 1st Feb.

April/May Edition – deadline to receive copy Mar 15th.  Published on 1st Apr.
