After returning to the UK in 2001 she settled in Oxfordshire, but only transferred her licence to the Diocese of Oxford in 2020. Unfortunately, this coincided with the Covid19 outbreak and the closure of churches for public worship, so she has not had much occasion to wear her new blue scarf yet. ![]() James Larminie James Larminie has been worshipping at All Saints’ Church since 1980, and been a Licensed Lay Minister since 1987.

He helps lead our services of worship, preaching sometimes, but is also a practical person, and does many jobs around church with drill or voltmeter. In this capacity he is the main person who keeps Church House running smoothly. Since 2019 James has also been churchwarden. His family, which now includes grand-children, occupies much of his attention, especially a particularly delightful grandson with special needs. ![]() John Glasson John and Carol Glasson are Lancastrians who came to Oxford, for a couple of years, over 50 years ago.
