Yarnton is a small village in rural Oxfordshire, England. It is possible that Yarnton is the oldest village in England though this is a claim shared with several hundred other villages.
This is the community website for Yarnton Village controlled and sponsored by Yarnton Village News.
At long last we have a Photo Gallery set up on the website - we're sorry it has taken so long to organise this.
If you would like to submit photos for inclusion on the site, please e-mail them to ruth-astall@community.co.uk or helen.anderson4@ntlworld.com. The website administrators reserve the right to decide what to include.
Please let us have your offerings!

KIDLINGTON NEIGHBOURHOOD TEAM — MAY UPDATE
NAG Priorities Following the recent Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG) meeting a number of issues were raised around your community priorities. We need a hand with one of these in relation to drunkenness and rowdy behaviour in the village. It appears those in our community unable to hold their drink are happily targeting rubbish bins left out on the street. I have been asked to make you aware of this issue and request that you remove your bins after they’ve been emptied. This action also addresses the issue of dwelling burglaries. Those bins left out after rubbish collection serve as an indicator that the property may be unoccupied — at work, etc — and an opportunity for those who target houses. Bin Safe. House Safe.
