Title	About the journal
Radley News and predecessors	Radley News contains news from village organisations and details of forthcoming events. The first edition was in January 1971. It is published monthly. There were three predecessor journals, all published monthly under the auspices of Radley Parochial Church Council but with wider village news too. The timing and rationale of the changes in format and scope are not clear. Church Monthly, Radley Parish Magazine: The Club has editions from 1895 to 1900, which were a mixture of Radley church/village news and wider religious material that seems to have been provided to parishes on a national basis. The volumes held are bound together by year. Radley Parish Magazine: The Club has editions from 1945 to 1956, with material now limited to Radley matters. The volumes held are bound together by six year period. Radley News Supplement: The content and format were essentially the same as the early editions of Radley News. The last issue was in December 1970 and was numbered 143, suggesting this series started in 1959.
