    Some Observations and Events of War Time in Hinton Waldrist 1941-44 By The Reverend John Cole M.A. Rector 1935-1944 Edited by his Daughter Mrs Jaquetta Everitt 1998 December 1941 Now that the long winter evenings have set in when one sits over the fire, its seems to me that in this third winter of the war, that it might be of some interest to those who are yet unborn to put on record how we in a remote Berkshire village lived our daily lives during these epic days when Britain alone keeps alight the torch of freedom in Europe. For the war has affected the lives of us all, even here in Hinton where are men are called up, as are some of our women and girls, and all are rationed for food – even the cows and hens have their ration cards. Old men as Special Constables patrol the lanes after a hard day’s work in the fields until midnight. Our old women save their empty bottles to throw at or in front of German motor-cyclists if they come. Haven’t we all heard night after night the drone of enemy planes overhead on their way to bomb the Midlands, and once the crash of twenty bombs in our fields? Did we not see the burning bodies of Canadian airmen amid the wreckage of their flaming and exploding plane? Have we not in our midst those who have come for safety to our village – children and mothers with their babies fleeing from unspeakable horrors? All these things have come upon our once peaceful village and God alone knows what we shall yet see before we have won for our children that liberty which our fathers handed down to us.

    Ashbury Compton Longcot Fernham News September 2020

    ASHBURY COMPTON LONGCOT FERNHAM NEWS SEPTEMBER 2020 Thought for the month Our thousand-year heritage-how do we pay for it? In addition to the version available at www.ashbury.org.uk, a few individual copies will be left in the Ashbury bus shelter (in a cardboard box) for anyone “offline” to collect. We are hoping normal service will be resumed for the October issue. 1 Thought for the month I don’t know about you, but recent months have given me time to do plenty of thinking about all sorts of subjects. One of the topics has been the number of things in everyday life that we take for granted. Just take a few minutes to compile a list of all that you expect to be part of your life. The first one may well be freedom – freedom to come and go as you please, to meet up with friends and family whenever and wherever you choose (and give them a hug!), see the doctor/dentist – the list is probably endless and that’s not to mention our wonderful NHS, school for the kids or going on holiday. There will be older people who remember a time when at least one holiday a year wasn’t the norm but trips abroad have become part of life and many people found the ban on overseas travel really hard – witness the recent mad rush to airports despite the possible risks to health and of subsequent quarantine. Then there are things like the freedom to attend church services, to take part in celebrations of all sorts and enjoy visits to the cinema, live theatre and concerts.

All rights reserved Click on this link to visit Oxfordshire’s geology and their contribution to known building stones, stone structures and building stone quarries (Opens in new window http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/buildingstone?County=Oxfordshire ) Oxfordshire Strategic Stone Study 1 Main stratigraphical subdivisions and representative rock units in Britain [THIS IS A DRAFT ONLY] Oxfordshire Strategic Stone Study 2 Introduction The oldest rocks in Oxfordshire crop out in the north of the county and are of Lower Jurassic age, around 200 million years old. Younger Jurassic and Cretaceous formations progressively crop out towards the south. The harder LIMESTONE and CHALK LITHOLOGIES form ESCARPMENTS, whilst clay underlies the intervening vales. The character of Oxfordshire’s stone buildings is very much determined by the nature of the local stone, which leads to a fascinating variation of styles across the county. With the exception of the Jurassic OOIDAL FREESTONE quarried around Taynton, few building stones were of sufficient quality to be used much beyond their immediate source area. Now only a handful of building stone quarries are still active in the county, supplying Marlstone and the Chipping Norton Limestone. Unfortunately the other building stones described in the following pages are no longer available from working local quarries. The following summary of the principal local building stones is based largely on Arkell’s work "Oxford Stone" and "The Geology of Oxford" and Powell’s recent "Geology of Oxfordshire".
