Mark and Rachel say hello to North Marston

We are Mark and Rachel, and we moved to North Marston in September last year from Bletchingdon, Oxfordshire.

We have moved primarily to be nearer Rachel's work in Aylesbury where she works part-time as a clinical psychologist. Mark continues to work in neuroscience research in Oxford.

We have two enthusiastic young daughters Anna (5) and Holly (3) and are really excited to have moved into such a thriving, community-spirited village. Anna is in reception at Quainton school while Holly is at the Schorne pre-school here and we are finding ourselves getting involved with various activities and events.

We are really enjoying exploring the local countryside so we are sure you'll see us around and about (at the pub, in church, at the shop … in no particular order!) Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming, which we appreciate very much.

Great to meet you Mark and Rachel, and welcome to the village. Alan

Hello North Marston

This is a regular feature in which newcomers to our village can say a few words about themselves. It's a way for them to get known a little quicker. And it's our way of welcoming them.

Are you new?

If you have newly arrived in the village, or have yet to get to know people here – welcome! We would love to feature you on this page.

Please get in touch with me, Alan Williams, by email, by ringing 01296 670230 or by calling at 7 Portway. We can then work out what is the best way to put together a piece about you.
