Shakespeare raises money for our churches

We are delighted to report the success of Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare, held in the garden of the Old Rectory on 11th June. Some 175 people were welcomed to this outdoor production, brilliantly performed by The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, who made the whole evening such fun.

Thanks to the generosity of so many, over £6500 was raised for our two churches All Saints Shorthampton and St Mary’s Charlbury. Our grateful thanks to Bill and Tonya for the use of their lovely garden, to the Friends of Shorthampton for organising the event, to the cast and ‘crew’ for their performance and hard work in bringing us a wonderful slice of Shakespeare to enjoy.
