Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

  • Kit-Cat Related Poetry
    ‘IN AND OUT’: AN ANALYSIS OF KIT-CAT CLUB MEMBERSHIP (Web Appendix to The Kit-Cat Club by Ophelia Field, 2008) There are four main primary sources with regard to the membership of the Kit-Cat Club – Abel Boyer’s 1722 list,1 John Oldmixon’s 1735 list,2 a Club subscription list dated 1702,3 and finally the portraits painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller between 1697 and 1721 (as well as the 1735 Faber engravings of these paintings). None of the sources agree. Indeed, only the membership of four men (Dr Garth, Lord Cornwallis, Spencer Compton and Abraham Stanyan) is confirmed by all four of these sources. John Macky, a Whig journalist and spy, was the first source for the statement that the Club could have no more than thirty-nine members at any one time,4 and Malone and Spence followed suit.5 It is highly unlikely that there were so many members at the Kit-Cat’s inception, however, and membership probably expanded with changes of venue, especially around 1702–3. By 1712–14, all surviving manuscript lists of toasted ladies total thirty-nine, suggesting that there was one lady toasted by each member and therefore that Macky was correct.6 The rough correlation between the dates of expulsions/deaths and the dates of new admissions (such as the expulsion of Prior followed by the admission of Steele in 1705) also supports the hypothesis that at some stage a cap was set on the size of the Club. Allowing that all members were not concurrent, most sources estimate between forty- six and fifty-five members during the Club’s total period of activity.7 There are forty- four Kit-Cat paintings, but Oldmixon, who got his information primarily from his friend Arthur Maynwaring, lists forty-six members.

  • Banking As an Emerging Technology: Hoare’S Bank, 1702–1742
    Financial History Review 13.2 (2006), pp. 149–178. © European Association for Economic and Financial History e.V. 2006 Printed in the United Kingdom doi:10.1017/S0968565006000229 Banking as an emerging technology: Hoare’s Bank, 1702–1742 PETER TEMIN and HANS-JOACHIM VOTH1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and ICREA / Universitat Pompeu Fabra London’s financial market underwent dramatic change after 1700. More limited than Paris or Amsterdam in the seventeenth century, London became the leading financial centre in Europe in the eighteenth century. There is an extensive and growing literature on the causes of this change, but comparatively little on the change itself. This article provides detailed information on the operation of the London financial market around 1700 by describing the operations of a nascent London bank. It is an often-repeated truism that goldsmiths became bankers, and we have many records of isolated transactions by goldsmith-bankers.2 These fragments have been taken as the answer to a question when they could instead be seen as the question. Banking is a difficult business, and it does not resemble the goldsmith trade in the kinds of risks it involves. How did goldsmiths become bankers? Was the transition trivial, despite the difference in the economic activities, or was it a process of learning? We argue for the latter. Learning to be a fractional-reserve banker in the early eighteenth century was a difficult task. This is shown by the rapid demise of many goldsmith-bankers at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century. Goldsmith-bankers failed after the ‘Stop of the Exchequer’ in 1672, and enough of them did so that goldsmiths’ notes were unacceptable as currency during the 1670s.

  • South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements
    Council report Report of Chief Executive Author: David Buckle Telephone: E-mail: To: Council DATE: 30 August 2012 South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements Recommendation That Council agrees the submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England attached as Appendix A to this report Purpose of Report 1. This report invites Council to agree a submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBCE) for England on warding arrangements as it reduces in size from 48 to 36 members. Background 2. In March of this year the LGBCE commenced an electoral review at our request. In June it announced that it was minded to recommend (ultimately, parliament takes the decision) a council size of 36. This was the number that Council agreed to propose at it meeting in February. 3. The next stage of the review is to develop warding proposals. At this time the LGBCE has published nothing so we have a blank canvass on which to make proposals. However, the number of councillors we put forward must add up to 36 (or conceivably 35 or 37 if there are particular reasons justifying such a variation) and best comply with the three criteria that govern electoral reviews, all of which carry equal weight. These are: • to deliver electoral equality for voters • to provide boundaries that reflect natural communities • to provide effective and convenient local government 4. In November the LGBCE will publish its draft warding proposals and council will have an opportunity to decide its formal response to these at a meeting next X:\Committee Documents\2012-2013 Cycle (2) Aug-Oct\Council_300812\Council_300812_Warding arrangements 1 report.doc January.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Newnham Murren (May 2017) • © Univ. of London • Intro. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress NEWNHAM MURREN Introduction Newnham Farm photographed from Watery Lane. The former manor house and parochial chapel lie isolated from the village ½ mile to the north. Until its incorporation into Crowmarsh in 1932 the ancient parish of Newnham Murren stretched for 9.5 km from the river Thames in the west to the Chiltern hills in the east, traversing the whole width of Langtree hundred, and covering 1,852 acres.1 Settlement was scattered, but mostly concentrated in the village by Wallingford bridge; the parish boundary there ran along the village street, separating houses belonging to Newnham (on the street’s south side) from those of Crowmarsh Gifford on the north. Despite that division, for most practical purposes the village formed a single community with a shared identity, shaped by (but largely distinct from) the neighbouring town of Wallingford.2 By contrast Inhabitants of the parish’s upland hamlets and farmsteads forged links with neighbouring Chiltern communities such as Nuffield and Stoke Row, a division formalized in the Middle Ages by the creation of separate tithing groups for the parish’s householders on either side of the Chiltern scarp.3 The suffix Murren, recalling Newnham’s 12th- and early 13th-century lords, was added to the place name during the Middle Ages, distinguishing it from Nuneham Courtenay. Earlier, Newnham was sometimes identified by its proximity to Crowmarsh or Wallingford.4 Until the 20th century the parish was a chapelry of North Stoke 2.5 km to the south.
