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.

    Timeline of Marston Below is a brief timeline of the history of Marston courtesy of Stephanie Jenkins of headington.org.uk. There have been two Palaeolithic finds in Marston, but the Romans do not appear to have had a BC settlement there AD 1086 Domesday Book: Marston (then a hamlet of Headington) was too small to be mentioned Until this time, all the low ground of Marston is believed to have been under water. Old Marston village AD 1100 was now an island in the Cherwell. It had its own chapel, which was dependent on Headington. It was part of the Royal Manor at Headington (which also owned Binsey and Osney). First written occurrence of the name of Marston. Its chapel is referred to as a church for the first time, and by the end of the twelfth century it was dedicated to St Nicholas. Henry I gave the chapel of Marston to the canons of St. Frideswide’s. AD 1122 The chancel arch and seven arches of the nave survive which suggests a considerable community cultivating surrounding fields – workable by ditching and draining. The tenant had rights of commoning cattle and cutting furze, fern and dead wood. In this year the population of Marston consisted of the Vicar, two freeholders (the miller and a man appearing to live at Court Place) and 46 unfree tenants. First mention of a Marston ferry. Hugh de Molendino held a mill at Marston. (Hundred Rolls). There was a mill at the end of Mill Lane near Sescut Farm which would disappear and re-appear in the AD 1279 records up to the 1400s.

    Oxford Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP)

    Oxford LCWIP v192001 Approved by Cabinet 190317 Foreword by Cllr Yvonne Constance Oxfordshire County Council is tackling the challenges of Climate Change, housing growth, air pollution and the growing public health crisis of physical inactivity by a range of innovative transport measures. Encouraging and increasing walking and cycling is core to our approach to transport solutions and will feature highly in our new Local Transport and Connectivity Plan. This will build on the Oxford Transport Strategy within our current Local Transport Plan which has the ambition that Oxford will become a world class cycling city with an outstanding public realm for walking. The Council is embarking on a range of innovative measures to achieve this transformational change in travel behaviour. In particular, we are consulting on ”Connecting Oxford” which proposes to introduce traffic control points in the city centre and a work place levy charge for businesses in the south east arc. As part of this process, we recognise the importance of the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP). Oxford is already famous for its high levels of cycling and has one of the highest levels of walking in the UK, but we know we can and need to do more. The importance of Oxford LCWIP is that it: Sets out the evidence of how we can achieve a very challenging but realistic 50% increase in cycling in the City Lays out a comprehensive cycle network to focus expenditure for best value Identifies a list of infrastructure improvements for both walking and cycling based on best practice and our Cycle and Walking Design Guides Summarises the evidence for supportive measures, such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and controlled parking zones And provides cost estimates for these schemes we can use in future bids and in planning decisions We have worked with many stakeholders in preparing this document.
