More usually known as Dorchester Abbey, the Abbey Church of St Peter and St Paul is the parish church of Dorchester-on-Thames , a small Oxfordshire village with just over 1000 inhabitants, located 8 miles south-east of Oxford (map). It has a lively and active congregation, with 116 persons on the electoral roll. The Rector is the Revd Sue Booys, who is Area Dean and also the Team Rector for six adjoining parishes within the Diocese of Oxford.
The congregation at Dorchester Abbey seeks 'to be an inclusive, lively and welcoming community sharing God's love with all'.
We aim to achieve this by:
Dorchester Abbey serves not only as the spiritual centre of the village, with many different parish activities, but also as pro-Cathedral and place of pilgrimage. It is a popular tourist destination, educational resource and, as the largest public building in South Oxfordshire, a much-sought after venue for concerts and other major events.
Whether you come as pilgrim or visitor of any faith or none, we look forward to welcoming you to the Abbey and to the last remaining monastic building, the Guest House, home of the famous Tea Room and the Museum.
