Welcome to the SODG Branch website

The Oxford Diocesan Guild of Church Bellringers South Oxfordshire Branch was formed at Great Milton in November 1921, and is one of 15 Branches comprising the Oxford Diocesan Guild. It is bounded to the north by the Aylesbury Vale, to the east by the  Chiltern Hills and to the west and south by the Rivers Thame and Thames  respectively. The South Oxfordshire Branch has 20 towers and is mainly rural with only two towns, Watlington and the market town of Thame. The remainder are village churches including the Abbey Church at Dorchester-on-Thames.
