Full details of the enabling legislation, local development management policies and effects of conservation area designation can be found on the Council’s website. CONSULTATION DRAFT February 2018 VALE OF WHITE HORSE 4 Drayton Conservation Area Appraisal 3. Summary of Special Interest The special interest of the area can be articulated through a description of its key features and in terms of its heritage significance. This involves analysing the heritage values that make up significance. This assessment is based on the methodology set put in Conservation Principles, Historic England, 2008. Some of the key features of special interest are summarised on the map below. Evidential value is the archaeological potential of an area. There is potential for prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon remains in the village as a whole. Further evidential value lies in the multiphase buildings which can yield information on the earlier building forms. Overall evidential value is low-medium The history of the village can be read in its layout and detailing of its buildings.

There are key views towards The Green, along Church Lane and towards the Church from the eastern edge of the parish where there are also expansive views of open countryside.

It was never meant to be a fundraiser, just the opportunity for villagers to spend a pleasant afternoon in each other’s company. We tried to get sponsorship for the suppliers and so grateful thanks to Parish Council for sponsoring the Hog Roast and to the Corneville Trust for paying for the programme printing and the music. Our other supporters were Scorpion Signs (Abingdon) and Copycat Services (Drayton), thanks to them who pulled out all the stops for us this year as always. The kitchen was run by Drayton Wives and the WI and these ladies could happily give a masterclass in team-work. The kitchen Proud owners line their pets up for the Prettiest Bitch Competition was a convivial beehive. Just because it appeared to be effortless, of course this is not the case. Thanks to all the ladies who gave up their time and all bakers of course for their fayre as they all enabled us to raise much needed funds to support the other areas of the day. Young people of the village came up trumps again. Many offered to help or were happy to be press-ganged into setting something up, running a stall or just moving stuff about. Essential support, making a busy day much more relaxed as everyone lent a hand. Isabel ran a wonderful Fun Dog show which was enjoyed by everyone with a pooch (and those without).

Our village is both fortunate and unfortunate to sit on a key junction in ‘Science Vale’. We are the link between Abingdon and Oxford to the north, Milton Park, Culham Science Centre and Didcot to the east and the Harwell campus and Newbury to the south. This strategic junction ensures we have good communication almost anywhere and we have the bulk of long-distance traffic and the heaviest vehicles bypassing us on the A34. Because of it we have buses, albeit more would be better, and trains not far away. There are plenty of jobs accessible to Drayton people, many well-paid, and plenty of customers to sustain our village shops and pubs. But our roads are much busier than if we were more isolated and traffic volumes will grow, as new houses are built in the village and all around us in the Vale.

The MSS. for the first five Parishes were sent to press as long ago as ist July, 1910, by the late Mr. W. P. W. Phillimore, and at his death on 9th April, 1913, it was found that the \'olume was printed off as far as page 96 but that there was not sufficient MS. in hand to complete it. Some time elapsed before the present co-editor, over- whelmed with the labour involved b}' taking over the Chief Editorship of the entire series, now comprising thirtA^ counties, could give attention to completing this volume, and the work in Berkshire has suffered through the lack of an energetic local Editor, such as have come forw^ard in most of the other counties and contributed so greatly to their success. It is hoped that now the Berkshire Series has again been set going, someone interested in the genea- logy of the County will help in this way and so enable this work to be made as useful as in other counties, in many of which the Marriages of over one hundred Parishes have been printed.

Chairman’s Report As the rain lashes down – in what should be the heart of the digging season – it’s hard to believe that it is Summer. This does, though, make it easier to stay in and get on with writing the Chairman’s Report. The Society has had a good few months. Our April lecture was by Bill King on ‘The Thames at War’, giving us a fascinating overview of the role which the Thames played in preparing for the defence of Britain in World War 2. In May (the Lambrick Lecture), Simon Townley of the Oxfordshire VCH talked to us about Henley as an inland port, and we learnt much about the importance of the Thames for trade.

The attrition continues with Jonathan Parkhouse "jumping ship" and taldng up a post as County Archaeologist in Warwickshire, I'm sure we all wish him well. Over the past year there have been suggestions that this publication should change. One of the suggestions has been that there should be peer review of the articles which are submitted. I have trsisted this on two counts: Time. The elapse time between the deadline for articles, end of March,,and the time when the publication goes to the indexer, begirming of June, is two months. It is usually tighter than this as illustrations inevitably arrive late. The indexer is then able to fit our job in between her other work and holidays; because of this we get a "good deal". This is a publication primarily for reporting results, not interpretation. I'm not too bothered if an interpretation reported in SMA is proved to be incorrect, it is the nature of archaeology that as more data accumulate all interpretations are overtumed.
