Radley News and predecessors
About the catalogue How to use the catalogue About Radley History Club

The monthly Radley News contains news from Radley Parish Council and other village organisations, and details of forthcoming events in the village. It was originally published by Radley Parochial Church Council, with the first edition appearing in January 1971. Copies of issues from March 2024 are available to download from the Parish Council website.

Radley News had three predecessor journals (see list below), all published monthly under the auspices of Radley Church but with wider village news too. The timing and rationale of the changes in title and scope are not clear.

  • Church Monthly, Radley Parish Magazine: Radley History Club has editions from 1895 to 1900. These 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: Radley History 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 as 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.
 
Rdley History Club recently arranged for its holdings of this journal to be digitised and is currently considering how best to make the digital versions available to all. In the meantime, please contact our archivist (archives@radleyhistoryclub.org.uk) should you wish to look at a particular issue.
