About the Church

A place of welcome
in Cumnor village

St Michael's is the historic parish church of Cumnor, a beautiful village on the western edge of Oxford. For centuries it has been a place where the community has gathered for worship, celebration, and quiet reflection.

As part of the Parish of Cumnor — together with St Andrew's Dean Court and St Mary's — we are a Church of England community learning together what it means to love God and one another.

"Learning to love God and one another with the love that our Father gives us in Jesus."

Whether you are visiting for the first time, new to the village, returning after years away, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, you will find a genuine and warm welcome at St Michael's.

Bell Ringing

Ring the bells
of St Michael's

St Michael's is home to a ring of six bells, cared for and rung by a dedicated team of bell ringers who call the village to worship each Sunday and practise together every week.

Bell ringing is a wonderful combination of skill, teamwork, and musicality — and we warmly welcome new ringers of all abilities. Whether you have never touched a rope before or are an experienced ringer looking to ring with us, please do come along to a practice evening.

Visiting ringers are always welcome. Contact the Tower Captain in advance to arrange a visit.
