  • APPENDIX I Report of the Ward Boundary Review Working Group To
    APPENDIX I Report of the Ward Boundary Review Working Group to CEB – 20th March 2018 Criteria Used This submission uses the following principles as criteria for the proposed scheme, in addition to the legally required criteria for equality of electorates: the river Cherwell and the river Thames south of the confluence with the Cherwell should be used as boundaries between wards that wards should be based on clearly identifiable communities or collections of communities as far as possible to use arterial roads as the centre of wards rather than boundaries between them where possible – in several parts of the city it is not - current wards should be the starting point for the new scheme Number of Councillors In line with the submission from the Council that has been accepted by the Commission, the scheme is for 48 councillors. Number of Wards Oxford currently has a scheme of 24 two member wards, which has been in place since 2002. This approach replaced the previous system of 17 larger wards, and was supported by the Council and the Commission because a larger number of smaller wards had the following advantages: smaller wards offer better community identity with the political boundaries in multi-member wards all electors rightly expect that each councillor is equally representative of them, and a two-member ward scheme means that each councillor represents 33% fewer electors than a three-member ward scheme, enabling them to be more responsive to the needs of their electors wards make it easier for electors to identify with their councillors the communities that make up Oxford better suit 24 two-member wards than they do any other scheme The experience of the current two member ward system has amply demonstrated these advantages; therefore a 24 ward scheme should be retained.

  • Guest Information
    GUEST INFORMATION WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY St Hugh’s College • St Margaret’s Road • Oxford • OX2 6LE A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST HUGH’S COLLEGE Compared to many Oxford Colleges, St Hugh’s is young, having been founded as St Hugh’s Hall in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth, the great niece of the poet, who was also Principal of Lady Margaret Hall. A champion of women’s education, her foundation of St Hugh’s enabled poorer women to gain an Oxford education, beginning modestly with four students in a house in Norham Road. Elizabeth Wordsworth’s father was Bishop of Lincoln and that inspired her to adopt the emblem and coat of arms of St Hugh of Avalon who had been Bishop of Lincoln 1186–1200. His emblem was the Swan of Stowe, said to be his companion who guarded him as he slept. By the time WWI broke out, St Hugh’s Hall was ready for larger premises and a site was purchased, the existing house demolished, and the current Main Building constructed. Since then, St Hugh’s has expanded, by both erecting new buildings and by purchasing the Victorian houses that form its perimeter. New buildings have included the Library (1937), Kenyon Building (1965), Wolfson Building (1967), Rachel Trickett Building (1991), Maplethorpe Building (1999) and, most recently, the Dickson Poon China Centre (2014). St Hugh’s Hall was incorporated as a College in 1910 and, in 1920, finally became part of the University, along with the other women’s Colleges, when the BA was opened to women.

  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

  • Samuel Lipscomb Seckham
    Samuel Lipscomb Seckham By PETER HOWELL l TIL recently the name of Samuel Lipscomb Seckham was fairly widely U known in Oxford as that of the architect of Park Town. A few other facts, such as that he was City Surveyor, were known to the cognoscenti. No-one, however, had been able to discover anything significant about his background, let alone what happened to him after he built the Oxford Corn Exchange in 1861-2. In '970 a fortunate chance led to the establishment of contact with Dr. Ann Silver, a great-granddaughter of Seckham, and as a result it has been po ible to piece together the outline ofhis varied career.' He was born on 25 October ,827,' He took his names from his grandparents, Samuel Seckham (1761-1820) and Susan Lipscomb (d. 18'5 aged 48).3 His father, William ('797-,859), kept livery stables at 20 Magdalen Street, Oxford,. and prospered sufficiently to retire and farm at Kidlington.5 The family came from Devon, where it is aid that Seccombes have occupied Seccombe Farm at Germans­ week, near Okehampton, since Saxon limes. Seccombes are still living there, farming. It is thought that Seckllam is the earlier spelling, but tombstones at Germansweek show several different versions. 6 It is not known how the family reached Oxford, but Samuel Lipscomb Seckham's great-grandmother Elizabeth was buried at St. Mary Magdalen in 1805.7 His mother was Harriett Wickens (1800-1859). Her grandfather and father were both called James, which makes it difficult to sort out which is which among the various James W;ckens' recorded in I The fortunate chance occurred when Mrs.

  • AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our
    1 AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our grandparents lived on Church Way, the loop of road right in front of the old Norman church of Iffley. Their house, which they called Avenham, was subsequently re-named Rick House, because it was built on the site of the cottages in the rickyard of an old farm. This may well have been the White family farm, as the parents of our grandmother Lily White lived in the adjacent house in their old age, and quite likely before this as well. This house is known to have been a farm-house. I was told as a child that the White family had "always" farmed in Iffley. I have always believed that Grandpa designed Avenham, which is an Italianate brick villa, and that he was an architect or landscape designer. Pat though says he worked for the Thames Conservancy & it was his father, in Lancashire, who followed this profession, and the name Avenham was taken from a park he had designed in Lancashire. It appears that Grandpa, George Edward Rowbotham, who was at school at St.Peter's, York, had done a year of studies in architecture before he came south in the 1890's and never went back. His drawing of Avenham on the right dates from about 1912 and is from Aunty Alice’s autograph book, which was discovered by Ken Hunnisett in a second-hand shop! Ken says the house still exists as No 101 Church Way. Grandpa cut his ties with his family in Preston, or rather they disowned him.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.
