St Edburg’s Foundation

The Foundation has been established to bring together those who value this ancient church and who appreciate the importance of the building to Bicester. It is crucial to sustain and enhance its heritage and improve the building so that it serves the needs of today and the future.

The church is the largest non-commercial covered space in Bicester and can be used for many diverse events such as conferences, concerts, meetings and exhibitions. Phase two of the Reordering Project aims to improve the current facilities by removing the pews, providing kitchen and toilet facilities and an improved heating system which will make the space available much more accessible and flexible.

The Foundation will appeal to anyone who appreciates the building, its history and its potential. Whilst not excluding current church members, it is more aimed at people who live or work in Bicester or have done so and value the building and want to see it continue its role at the centre of the community in the town. It is not seeking to raise funds for the general upkeep but may launch appeals for specific projects to protect or enhance the heritage of the building. Any funds raised would go directly to that project and not diverted to day-to-day expenses.
