The second parish in the Benefice of Marston with Elsfield, is the parish of Elsfield, a delightful though tiny village just outside the Northern Bypass.

In 2002 we carried out extensive work to reorder the church and build an extension to provide a village room, kitchen and toilets for community and church activities. The church itself retains its fine acoustics, and a deep sense of peaceful quietness in which God can speak to our heart.

We have embarked on a project to restore the Salviati mosaic in the church. On Sunday 11th July 2010, some of our intrepid men of Elsfield took part in a sponsored cycle ride to raise money for the restoration.

Come and join us!

We have a regular Sunday service once a month, usually on the 4th Sunday of each month, and additional services at Easter, Whitsun and Christmas.

Here are links to our welcome leaflet, some notes on the history of the church, and a website for Elsfield village.
