Minister: Rev Simon Brignall

Tetsworth is 4 miles from Thame and 13 miles from Oxford with a population of about 600. Many new homes have been built for commuters due to easy access to the M40. The village has a pub, antiques centre and a post office.

St Giles' Church was rebuilt in 1851 with the then incumbent's own funds. It currently seats about 150 and has a WC and kitchen. There is a small Sunday School and the August Holiday Club held in Tetsworth Memorial Hall has always proved popular.

Tetsworth County Primary School has 60 pupils and is still growing. The Headteacher encourages links with St Giles', both bringing the children to church for festivals and welcoming clergy into the school to lead an act of worship once a week.

The congregation at Tetsworth include an enthusiastic group of children who are encouraged by an after-school club. The weekly services are taken from Common Worship and range from Holy Communion with hymns on the organ to All Age Worship with songs on the keyboard accompanied by a volley of children on shakers. Drinks and cakes are provided after every service and people always stay back to chat and share news and problems. The congregation is very close knit, with a homebase meeting regularly, but is always welcoming to occasional visitors and newcomers. The Church is an integral part of the village community, taking part in the village fête and organising occasional fund-raising activities. A team of volunteers from the village is working to rebuild the wall to the churchyard each weekend and a choir with members from Tetsworth and Lewknor performs in the Church for festivals and gives an annual concert on the Tetsworth Festival weekend.
