About Us

The mediaeval church of St Nicholas is not overlarge with seating for a maximum of 95 people. It has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and is lovingly cleaned and decorated. In 2005 repairs were made to the bell tower roof and the fabric of the building is generally in good repair. For the new millennium a band of ringers was formed and they continue to ring regularly.
We support the Bicester Food Bank. Tins, bottles & packaged foods brought to the Church are donated to the Food Bank, which supports those in need in Bicester and the surrounding villages. .
Piddington is one of 8 parish churches within the Ray Valley Benefice.

The post of Rector to the Benefice is currently vacant but we hope to fill the vacancy by summer 2025.

During this time of Interregnum, we are fortunate to have two retired clergy, Reverend Lisa Holmes (Ambrosden) and Reverend Canon Brian Mountford (Islip) who are assisting with services across the Benefice. There are other retired clergy in the area who kindly help out when needed.
