Henry Taunt Collection Henry Taunt Collection Size: 14,000 images Coverage: Oxford and Oxfordshire plus Thames-side counties from Source to Sea. Date range: c.1860-1922 Background: Henry Taunt (1842-1922) was a famous Oxford photographer whose collection of negatives, prints and other material was bought by Oxford City Library in 1924/5. OPA retains Taunt’s original prints but his surviving glass plate negatives are now held in the National Monuments Record Centre in Swindon - the public archive of English Heritage. The two collections have been ‘virtually’ re-united as a result of a joint digitization project funded by the New Opportunities Fund (NOF). Taunt Manuscript & Printed Works The Henry Taunt Collection at the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies, in addition to his photographic images, contains range of his printed (published) and manuscript works. Taunt wrote for pleasure and also for profit, passing on his enthusiasm and widening the market for his photographs. He published over 50 titles, many of which ran to several editions, and he planned lots more which never got beyond typed or hand-written drafts. The river Thames, local history, architecture, customs, comets - all sorts of subjects interested him! Apart from those items with a blank, 'advertised' or 'Bodleian' COS Reference, all these works can be consulted at the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies. Bodleian Library items are only available at the Department of Special and Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University. Please quote the COS Reference for printed works and the Folder no. for manuscript works.

  • Kemble Church Before 1876 and the Restoration: As Seen in Images by John Buckler, HE Relton, Henry Taunt and an Anonymous 19Thc Watercolourist
    Kemble Church Before 1876 and the Restoration: As seen in images by John Buckler, HE Relton, Henry Taunt and an Anonymous 19thc Watercolourist. John Buckler 1809 In 1809 John Buckler (1770-1851) painted a watercolour of the church from the SE which is in the collection of the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. Shortly after 1800 John Buckler was commissioned by Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead to produce ten volumes of drawings of churches and other historic buildings in Wiltshire. He painted all the Wiltshire churches and there are paintings of Poole Keynes, Somerford Keynes and Shorncote which were then in Wiltshire. This is the earliest image of the church. There are three main differences with the church today. Firstly, the tower windows have changed. This is the result of repairs to the spire and tower after it was damaged by lightning in 1823. The squared off eastern lancet window and the metal bracing are there today and were there in the print by HE Relton in 1843. Secondly, the windows in the Chancel, especially the east window, appear to be Perpendicular in style like those in the Ewen Aisle, however in the watercolour of the interior makes the window look earlier of the Decorated Style. In the restoration of 1876-7 they were replaced in the Early English style. Finally, the porch looks to be a bit askew. This will be obvious in the prints by Relton. H. E. Relton 1843 These two prints are from ‘Sketches of Churches, with Short Descriptions’ by H. E. Relton; London (1843). He visited quite a few churches in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Berkshire and he wrote a few notes on each of the churches.

  • Oxford Thames Classic
    Oxford Thames Classic Read a typical Oxford Thames trip below Because each trip has a different make up of guests, with different accommodation preferences and rowing speeds, each trip is different. But you can read how a typical trip worked out below. Monday Lechlade, our starting point, is a small town on the edge of the Cotswolds. Having spent Sunday night at Buscot Manor, we all meet at the Trout Inn Garden for a briefing and equipment discussion. Buscot Manor is a beautiful Queen Anne Manor House and provides excellent accommodation. Some of our guests are staying at the Riverside Inn in Lechlade. Looking back towards Lechlade from the St John’s Lock we get a view of the St Mathews Parish Church which inspired Shelley to write the poem ‘A Summer Evening Churchyard’. Also at St Johns Lock we pay our respects to the statue of Old Father Thames. After a few hours rowing we stop for Lunch at The Plough in Kelmscott (really lovely food!), and a chance to look round the Kelmscott Manor, the former home of William Morris and according to The Telegraph, one of the 10 greatest places to see English Art. www.kelmscottmanor.co.uk. This is indeed an ideal place for an extended stop, and we decide to stay a while and have tea at the Manor. After lunch we have a short row to the Swan Inn at Radcot, where we stop for a drink and leave the boats for the night. Our accommodation is at the Plough Hotel in Clanfield, which is a short taxi ride away from the Swan.
