Eynsham Online is the Parish Council's latest contribution to open government in Eynsham and Barnard Gate. If you live or work in the area, it also offers a guide to business, shops and services; updates on local issues and interests; and a diary reflecting the activities of 90 clubs, societies and support groups. If you're moving in, there's a comprehensive 'welcome pack'. If you're looking around, there are historical items, images, reflections and tours for every taste; and pointers to other significant sources on the links page.

Eynsham is the 4^th largest settlement in West Oxfordshire, at an important crossing of the river Thames, midway between Oxford and Witney and within a stone's throw of the A40. Its recorded history goes back to Saxon times; Eynsham Abbey (sadly no more) was founded in 1005; and 92 listed buildings survive around the centre. Today the village caters for body, mind and spirit with 30 food & drink outlets (including 10 pubs); 7 education facilities; 3 churches and a range of alternative health practices.

We hope you enjoy the site. Images, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
