In one of his last fundraising efforts before retiring later this month, the Rev David Sharp preached for eight hours.
His marathon effort at Christchurch, Thame, was to get his church's building fund, now at £345,000, closer to £400,000.
The cash will be spent on better disabled access and new rooms, including a kitchen.
