Plans for a new Garden of Remembrance in centre of All Saints churchyard have been submitted to the Oxford Diocesan authorities.
The area will provide for a new way of interring cremated remains in a lawn without individualised memorial stones. The names of those buried will be inscribed in a book in a cabinet located in the church.
The scheme also provides for new pathways allowing disabled access to the garden.
Work is expected to start in summer 2016.
Canon David Hodgson, Rector, said;
"This will ensure local people will be able to have cremated remains buried in this churchyard for many years to come. It will provide a serene and pleasant area for departed loved ones to be remembered."
