Thanks to our roads, rail links and bus service we are not isolated from urban areas such as Witney, Oxford or London. WThe advantage that we have over larger towns and cities is the ability to come together as a village and build a new community centre. Our new Village Hall stands as a testament to community involvement. The number of volunteer hours contributed to this project is astounding. The money for a new building in the heart of Finstock was raised through the hard work of a few dedicated organizers and the generosity of villagers. A sense of community has opened the doors for everyone to become involved and contribute. The use of friendly, local builders enabled everyone to visit the site, ask questions and see progress as the building has been completed.

  • Character Assessment Charlbury 2017 Area 2 – East by Christine Elliott
    Charlbury Character Assessment Part 2: Area 2, East Contents: Area 2 historic features and wildlife, covering: Ditchley Rd Quarry Lane Ticknell Path Willow Walk and Sandford Slade Ditchley Road (consisting of two separate reports) Chartwell Drive, The Green, Jefferson’s Piece, Kendal Piece Hundley Way (Eastern Section) Hundley Way (Western Section) The Slade Ticknell Piece Rd Wychwood Close Crawborough Hill Close Character Assessment Charlbury 2017 Area 2 – East by Christine Elliott I’m particularly covering two aspects: (a) the historic features visible from the 1761 Thomas Pride map of Charlbury; and (b) characteristics relating to wildlife. Using the National Library of Scotland online old OS maps overlaying satellite images it is easy to see that the 1761 boundaries are still visible all over Charlbury. Drystone walls and old hedgerows are seen everywhere as boundaries of gardens, new housing developments, tracks, roads, and current fields. The major disruptors to the boundaries were the construction of the toll roads to Enstone, Burford, and Woodstock about 1800 and the railway line about 1850. The Green Riding from Five Ways to Stonesfield was upgraded and realigned up the valley bottom diagonally across fields towards Woodstock. Three tollgates were built, two remain at Enstone crossroads and Dyers Hill by the river, the third one, Baywell Gate, at Five Ways was demolished post-WWII with the realignment of the road to Witney. Grass verges along the north side of Woodstock Road and the two old hawthorn trees are remnants of the vegetation along the old Green Riding and would show interesting limestone flora if left uncut in June/July.

  • The Roman Villa at Ditchley, Oxon
    The Roman Villa at DitchleYt Oxon. By c. A. RALEGH RADFORD HE existence of Roman remains in Watts Wells Field South on the south­ T east side of Ditchley Park has been known to antiquaries for over a hundred years. This region, lying north and west of Woodstock, belonged in the Middle Ages to Wychwood, a royal forest of which Woodstock itself was once a part. A thirteenth century documentl shows that the boundary then followed the line of Grim's Dyke, a linear earthwork passing about half a mile north of the site. Even at that date the record of assarts shows that encroachment had already begun and Ditchley itself seems to have originated as a forest clear­ ing beside the Dyke.2 But much of the woodland survived until a late date and the area with which we are concerned probably remained uncultivated until the end of the eighteenth century, when Lodge Farm, a pleasing building in the contemporary Gothic style, was erected. Since3 there were several Roman villas in the neighbourhood, there has been some confusion in the accounts of them. Of the others, that at Callow Hill, one mile SE. of Watts Wells Field, on the Charlbury-Woodstock road, being surrounded by a ditch and close to Grim's Dyke, is the best known. Another, one mile NNW. of Watts Wells Field, in Pump (formerly' Roman') Copse, Kiddington, was recently discovered or re-discovered from the air by Major Allen. The records seem to mention a third, not now identifiable, in Ditchley Park, just north of the spring (Spurnell's Well) whence flows the stream which runs eastwards through a pond called Devil's Pool, and bounds the southern side of Watts Wells Field on its way to the River Glyme.4 1 H.

Diana Gillian Bennett B.A. (Hons.) History (Open) A dissertation submitted to The Open University for the degree of M.A. in History January 2020 15,969 words Diana Bennett Dissertation ABSTRACT This study examines poor relief in Charlbury and Spelsbury, two adjacent but very different settlements in north-west Oxfordshire, between 1799 and 1815. In line with much of the current historiography on the Old Poor Law it focuses on the people who needed poor relief rather than the administrative policies behind such relief. In particular, it tests the argument forwarded by some historians that poverty affected more women than men, and especially those in old age, by assessing the extent to which poor relief in each community was influenced by the gender and life-cycle stage of its paupers.
