Whatcote Village

A warm welcome

Welcome to Whatcote, a little village nestling in the Vale of the Red Horse.  Life is good in Whatcote, we have The Royal Oak, St Peters Church & Community Centre and, most of all, some wonderful people

​

There has been a settlement here in Whatcote since Roman times and this is now Autumn 2020

Church Open Wednesday 23rd Dec

Wednesday, 23th December  -  St. Peter’s has been beautifully decorated with festive flower arrangements and will be open from 2pm to 6pm on Wednesday, 23rd December to coincide with the Festive Walk.   It will therefore be closed on Thursday, 24th.

Do visit the church.  Just remember to wear a face covering and to respect the guidelines on social distancing and use of hand sanitizer.  Thank you.

Broadband Update

Despite many efforts by people to get BT to extend fibre to the whole village we have been told there is no money to do this so just wait and see! Otherwise it would mean a sizeable contribution from each house to make it happen, alternative sources of funding are scarce at the moment.

Parish Meeting

Zam Zammett  chairman and  and Colin Forster  clerk. Contact them via email on whatcotechair@gmail.com or at 4 The Orchard and 2 the Orchard respectively.

St. Peter's Church

St. Peter’s Church is currently open to all for private prayer twice weekly on Mondays 10am to 12 noon  and Thursdays 12 noon to 4pm.   The Church has complied with government and diocesan guidelines for the safe use of places of worship.  Please respect the arrangements and follow the guidance on social distancing, hygiene and the use of face coverings to ensure we all stay safe. Zoomed carol service on December 20th at 6pm!!

Whatcote through the years

Our Community

Idliote on the hill, Whatote Downderry, Beggardly Oxhill, Lous Fulready, Yawning Yittington... 

St Peter's Church

This ancient church stands surrounded by beautiful scenery as it has done for over 900 years. For news and more details

Parish Meeting

Whatcote has a Parish Meeting, as we are not a big enough village to have a Parish Council. There is an AGM every April and another meeting in October. These are  open to all villagers so do come along and air your views!

Village Association

Whatcote is a wonderful place (well we like it here), not least because, by living here, you'll automatically be enrolled in the Village Association.  The WVA supports the community, organising events, days out and much more

Village News

We have a monthly News Sheet giving all the main topics. It will be available to pick up in the church for anyone not having access to the web site so please make sure that everyone is aware that they can still get the news!

Village Groups

The Whatcote Ladies meet regularly for supper in the guise of the Whatcote Witches and the Nomads- click here for more details
