Sir Harry Moore Sports Field

Thornborough Parish Council purchased the Sir Harry Moore Sports field for the village from Sir Harry Moore for the use of the village in perpetuity. A volunteer workforce of local people built the sports pavilion.

Thornborough Cricket Club uses the sports field throughout the summer.

Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on the sports field.

 The Playground

The playground on Nash Road in the heart of the village is for the younger children (under 12 years). The land for the playground was donated for the enjoyment of local children by the Hodges family. It was refurbished in 2017. The refurbishment was funded jointly by Wren’s FCC Community Action Fund, Thornborough Parish Council, and donations from village residents.

Stanley the Snail is the playground guardian. He is always on duty making sure the children are having fun and keeping safe.

Thornborough Cricket Club

Thornborough Cricket Club is a small, friendly, diverse, family-oriented village cricket club fielding a range of teams catering for men, women, girls and boys. Two men's sides compete on Saturdays in the prestigious Cherwell Cricket League, while a string of junior matches for different ages takes place, home and away, take place most Sundays during the early part of the summer. The newly formed Thornborough Roses women's team competes indoors in winter and in the Bucks Women's Softball League in summer.

 

The Thornborough Junior Cricket Festival has quickly grown into a much-anticipated feature of the August Bank Holiday weekend in the area. Meanwhile, the ECB-backed Allstars and Dynamos programme is a well-established Thornborough tradition, attracting dozens of local boys and girls, aged 5 to 13, to the recreation ground for cricket-themed drills on Friday evenings between May and July.

Following a spate of investment in recent seasons, supported by our generous sponsors, facilities now include an artificial wicket, an outdoor net and modern covers and sightscreens.

Cherwell League participation has helped generate an upsurge in membership, but new players of all abilities are always welcome, as is anyone with a flair for coaching, umpiring, ground maintenance or other pertinent skills.

Thornborough and Coombs Woodland Trust

The Thornborough and Coombs Woodland Trust was established in 2015 to preserve and enhance 168 acres of green space within Thornborough parish known as Thornborough Community Woodlands and Coombs Quarry.

The area is fully enclosed and separated from main roads and farmland by clear boundaries to provide many well signposted walking routes, which makes it a large open space that is unusually safe, particularly for dogs and children.

The Woodlands are funded entirely by its users and grant funding. Full details of the facility and how you can help by contacting us at [email protected]
