Photo 1(left): 1 June 2009. Port Meadow showing the flood-water retreating and mud flats exposed. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Photo 2 (right): 1 June 2009. Southern part of Port Meadow, a former Creeping Marshwort area, now drying mud. Graham Scholey of the Environment Agency and Rebecca Tibbetts of Natural England assess the situation. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Alas Fen Violet is still in trouble at Otmoor – perhaps not dry and warm early enough for this very early species. The Fen Violet exercised us most during 2009 by way of a meeting with specialists from Plantlife and Northern Ireland, in a nation-wide discussion of radical actions notably for introduction on RSPB land. True Fox-sedge looks to be well set-up for the future now that extensive introductions by BBOWT have proved successful. Other plants seem to get on well by themselves – Birthwort (see front cover picture and report on page 4) seems to be proliferating in the ditches of a medieval nunnery just north of Oxford city. Progress continues towards the Oxfordshire Rare Plants Register; photographs are being amassed, and thanks to Ellen Lee’s masterly command of the records we now have some 4000 new records beginning to take form as eye-catching maps.

The National Planning Policy Framework (2019) codifies the ministerial statement in para. 14 and states that a made neighbourhood plan that contains policies and allocations to meets its identified housing requirement is considered to be up to date when the local planning authority can demonstrate at least a three- year housing land supply and its housing delivery was at least 45% of that required over the previous three years.

  • Team Profile for the Appointment of a House for Duty Team Vicar to Serve the Villages of Ipsden and North Stoke Within the Langtree Team Ministry
    TEAM PROFILE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A HOUSE FOR DUTY TEAM VICAR TO SERVE THE VILLAGES OF IPSDEN AND NORTH STOKE WITHIN THE LANGTREE TEAM MINISTRY The Appointment The Bishop of Dorchester and the Team Rector are seeking to appoint a Team Vicar to serve two of the rural parishes which make up the Langtree Team Ministry. The Langtree Team is in a large area of outstanding natural beauty and lies at the southern end of the Chilterns. It is in the Henley Deanery and the Dorchester Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Oxford. The villages lie in an ancient woodland area once known as Langtree, with Reading to the south (about 12 miles), Henley-on-Thames to the east (about 10 miles) and Wallingford to the northwest (about 3 miles). The Team was formed in 1981 with Checkendon, Stoke Row and Woodcote. In 1993 it was enlarged to include the parishes of Ipsden and North Stoke with Mongewell. The Team was further enlarged in 2003 to include the parish of Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. The combined electoral roll (2019) for our parishes was 308. The Team’s complete ministerial staff has the Team Rector serving Checkendon and Stoke Row, a stipendiary Team Vicar at Woodcote and non-stipendiary Team Vicars on a house- for-duty basis serving (a) Ipsden and North Stoke and (b) Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. There is a licensed Reader, a non-stipendiary Team Pastor and a part time Administrator. The Langtree Team staff provide support for the parishes in developing their response to local ministry needs.

  • Rare Plants Group 2007 Newsletter
    Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire Rare Plants Group 2007 Newsletter Fen Violet, Viola persicifolia Note the mite waiting for a pollinating insect Photo: Phil Cutt INTRODUCTION Many of “our” species did well in 2007; Green Hound’s-tongue reappeared, just, at its Cotswold site; while Pasqueflower flourished on the chalk downland. Ploughing of the Wild Celery field has produced a record showing of this mainly coastal biennial. One of the young reinforcement plants of True Fox-sedge at BBOWT’s Asham Meads reserve even flowered. However, the little newly-planted Meadow Clary plants at Ardley were dug up by rabbits, and left to die. Fen Violet kept its numbers up, thanks to the dedicated farmer, the MoD warden and energetic volunteers from the neighbouring RSPB reserve. Preliminary research indicates that Fen Violet is producing lots of seed. Most pleasing of all John Killick found a new county record while working on the Rare Plants Register (see page 8). The spring and summer floods had dramatic effects on some species – Grass Poly, a charming magenta-flowered annual of flooded field corners, had a huge showing, after having been absent last year. Creeping Marshwort seemed to survive the floods – the plants at North Hinksey were under water for weeks in July and August, but went on to flower. We found Cuckoo-flower trying to beat the floods with little plantlets along the midribs of the leaves. Viviparous plantlets on the leaves of Cuckoo-flower, Cardamine pratensis, on Binsey Green; this is a known phenomenon but we think this maybe a response to the heavy summer flooding of 2007.
