St Mary's Church, Oakley, stands on the side of this popular and busy village. First mention of a church in Oakley was in 1142, when it was already an important place of worship as the Mother church for the three chapels at Brill, Boarstall and Addingrove.
Today Oakley is part of the benefice including Shabbington, Ickford and Worminghall.
Our church is a peaceful place to visit, enhanced recently by our Millenium stained glass window (www.bucksstainedglass.org.uk/ HTML/0883.htm).
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
