Braziers Community
Founded in 1950, Braziers is a non-religious community and a college. The main house is Strawberry Hill Gothic in style and is set in 50 acres of unspoilt Oxfordshire countryside. Longer-term residents with a variety of backgrounds and interests live here and, in addition, there are usually three or four foreign students who come to improve their English and help run the house and grounds. Braziers is broadly evolutionist in outlook and has a particular interest in group process and group communication. We run our own educational programme - mainly at weekends - but we are also available as a venue for outside groups. Visitors may either stay in the house or opt to camp in the meadows. There are 28 bedspaces in the house, but camping allows us to accommodate much larger groups. The cooking has a seasonal, local and organic emphasis, meat and vegetarian dishes are served. Many of the vegetables come from our own organic kitchen garden, all our meat is reared on site. Our land management is sympathetic to nature with commitment to sustainable life. The atmosphere at Braziers is informal, relaxed and supportive.
