As part of the commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2025, a group of local volunteers researched the lives of the 42 men whose names are on the memorials in the two Anglican parish churches in South Oxford: St Matthew's (covering the areas of Grandpont and Cold Harbour) and St John the Evangelist (covering New Hinksey).
You can read about the team's findings here:

The 24 Men of Grandpont and Cold Harbour 1939-45
If you know anything about the men from New Hinksey, Grandpont or Cold Harbour who went to fight in the Second World War (both those who died and those who survived), or anything about this area of Oxford in the 1930s and 1940s, please
