The Diocese of Oxford is divided into four smaller ‘episcopal Areas’, each overseen by their own Area Bishop. The Bishop of Dorchester is the Rt Revd Colin Fletcher.
The Dorchester Episcopal Area covers a great deal of Oxfordshire, apart from the City of Oxford. It extends from the Cotswolds in the west all the way down to Henley-on-Thames.
The deaneries in the Dorchester Area are: Abingdon, Aston & Cuddesdon, Bicester & Islip, Chipping Norton, Deddington, Henley, Vale of White Horse, Wantage, Wallingford, Witney and Woodstock.
