Culham is a small village by the river Thames near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, with more than 12 centuries of recorded history. Though small, it is known round the world through the nearby research centre which bears its name. Culham Laboratory is home to two major nuclear fusion experiments, JET and MAST. When JET was built, the European Commission set up the European School in Culham to provide an international education for the children of Euratom scientists who would come to work at JET.
Local News:
The Friends of St Paul's AGM and BBQ lunch on 10th June will be preceded by a presentation about the planned conversion of Stadhampton church into a multi-use village amenity. Provision of a community centre is a pressing need for Culham, so this will be of special interest to the village and the recently formed Culham Community Group. See the Stadhampton project website and the May Mouthpiece for details.
