These barns were built over 300 years ago as part of Northcourt Farm, itself dating back almost 1,000 years to the monks of Abingdon Abbey. Right up to 1945 the barns were working buildings, and later a dairy until the 1990s.

The barns then stood empty until the people of Christ Church decided to buy them, rebuild them, and create something special for the community.

We're a big team of friendly part-time volunteers supported by paid staff, each bringing their own gifts and a heart for the community of North Abingdon. The café has been staffed by over 70 volunteers since it opened in May 2013.
