Yarnton is a small village in rural Oxfordshire, England. It is possible that Yarnton is the oldest village in England though this is a claim shared with several hundred other villages.
This is the community website for Yarnton Village controlled and sponsored by Yarnton Village News.
Steve Dunlop says he knows it’s a long shot, but he is trying to find an old school friend who used to live in Yarnton, next to the SEB: Julian Ridge. They both went to the Marlborough School and Julian was a keen angler. He was a close friend of Steve’s brother John and would be about 43 now.
Any help would be appreciated. You can contact Steve by emailing s.dunlop1@homecall.co.uk.

You may or may not know but YPF are trying to replace the old dilapidated changing room building at the Littlemarsh field, anyone who has seen this building lately will know that this need is now urgent.
Three years ago we obtained CDC planning permission, plans were drawn up and an application submitted to the Big Lottery Grant to fund this project, unfortunately we were not successful in our application.
Since this time various ideas, discussions & visits from various companies / tradesmen has happened but the project has not progressed.
One reason that a new building has not been delivered as yet is the lack of people to tackle the problem, since the Lottery application several committee members have moved on, currently only five people are now on the committee, not enough really to complete the normal day to day needs of YPF let alone this issue.
