Welcome to Drayton’s website

If you are new to the village we hope this website will be an information source to the services and amenities we enjoy. If you are visiting us or simply browsing the web we hope it tells you something about our community and its many organisations. Those who already live here are invited to contribute to the site’s development with ideas, articles and photographs. We also need everyone’s help to ensure it reflects the dynamism of village life in the 21st century.

There are several Draytons in England – and three of them are in Oxfordshire. To avoid confusion with the others we have called this website www.drayton-near-abingdon.org. It is intended to complement the excellent village newspaper the Drayton Chronicle, and both publications come under the auspices of Drayton Community Trust. Drayton Parish Council has provided financial support which we acknowledge with gratitude.
