This website was created by Tetsworth Parish Council as a means of distributing and sharing information about the Parish Council and its business. The site is expanding into a richer information hub reflecting and supporting the whole of the Tetsworth community; it will bring together news of village organisations and information on those services that are available.
The Parish Council meets at 7.30pm on the second Monday of each month in the Tetsworth Memorial Hall; there is no meeting in August. MEETINGS WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY UNTIL AT LEAST MAY 2021. Members of the public are welcome. Please CLICK HERE to see the Agenda for the next meeting. Minutes of previous meetings are also posted on the site. |

To all Tetsworth residents:
In these extraordinary times most of you will be aware that the village has already done its self proud in ensuring that we pull together as a community and support each other. For those residents that are not on Facebook there are a number of villagers who have volunteered to help those that are already in self-isolation or unable to get out to collect shopping, prescriptions etc. The Parish Council remains ready to support all villagers and our contact details can be found on this site and on the notice board outside the village hall - please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Stay safe, strong & connected!
Best wishes,
Tetsworth Parish Council

FEBRUARY 2021: IN LINE WITH GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE THE ADULT EXERCISE EQUIPMENT IS NOT IN USE, HOWEVER, WE ARE PLEASED TO CONFIRM THAT THE PLAY AREA & SKATE RAMP CONTINUE TO BE OPEN FOR USE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE POSTED ACROSS THE SITE.
The rules mean that there will be some limits: the safety precautions are shown below and we have had to place limits on the number of people inside the fence and on some of the equipment. The limits are subject to change with experience, the rules not-so-much. There are a number of signs in the area but the basic rules apart from these safety ones are: 20 people (of any age) in the park at any one time, no unaccompanied children, and please use the gate to enter and the stile to leave. If you can't use the stile then you can leave via the gate but please keep your distance from opposite-direction traffic!

Tetsworth Village History Project
As part of their efforts to assemble a credible evidence base, members of the Tetsworth Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group undertook a limited amount of research into the village’s history when preparing the Tetsworth Character Assessment, a key document supporting the Neighbourhood Plan.
With the Neighbourhood Plan now largely in the hands of SODC for its remaining stages of development, John Gilbert, Aidan Lynch and Caroline Cann have agreed that their next community project should be the preparation and possible publication of a more detailed history of Tetsworth. Source documents in the Oxfordshire History Archive in Cowley and the Thame Museum, and internet searches will provide a wealth of information. However, this will undoubtedly leave gaps in in the story which might be filled by the local knowledge of Tetsworth residents – particularly those whose families have lived in the village for a generation or more.
If you think that you could contribute information or would like to join in the project, please get in touch with John on 01844 281655 or by email to john_c_gilbert@outlook.com.
