  • Compendium of World War Two Memories
    World War Two memories Short accounts of the wartime experiences of individual Radley residents and memories of life on the home front in the village Compiled by Christine Wootton Published on the Club website in 2020 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two Party to celebrate VJ Day in August 1946 Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was on 8 August 1945. It's likely the party shown in the photograph above was held in Lower Radley in a field next to the railway line opposite the old village hall. Club member Rita Ford remembers a party held there with the little ones in fancy dress, including Winston Churchill and wife, a soldier and a Spitfire. The photograph fits this description. It's possible the party was one of a series held after 1945 until well into the 1950s to celebrate VE Day and similar events, and so the date of 1946 handwritten on the photograph may indeed be correct. www.radleyhistoryclub.org.uk ABOUT THE PROJECT These accounts prepared by Club member and past chairman, Christine Wootton, have two main sources: • recordings from Radley History Club’s extensive oral history collection • material acquired by Christine during research on other topics. Below Christine explains how the project came about. Some years ago Radley resident, Bill Small, gave a talk at the Radley Retirement Group about his time as a prisoner of war. He was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk and the 80th anniversary reminded me that I had a transcript of his talk. I felt that it would be good to share his experiences with the wider community and this set me off thinking that it would be useful to record, in an easily accessible form, the wartime experiences of more Radley people.

  • Excavations at Frilford, Berks., 1937-8 by J
    Excavations at Frilford, Berks., 1937-8 By J. S. P. BRADFORD and R. G. GOODCHILD 1. TIlE NOAH'S ARK FIELD N the autumn of '937, at the suggestion of Sir Arthur Evans, the Oxford University Archaeological Society undertook the investigation of the barrel­ I vaulted cellar, reputed locally to be of some antiquity, beneath the Noah's Ark Inn at Frilford. The Inn stands beside the Oxford-Wantage road and is 800 feet to the south-east of the well-known Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon cemetery.' It was soon apparent that the cellar had had no structural existence independently from the Inn and did not extend more than a few feet beyond its eastern frontage: there is no reason to suspect that it antedates the Inn. Meanwhile, trial trenches at the north end of the adjacent long and narrow meadow· ·on the surface of which, when ploughed, stray finds of Roman pottery and coins had often been made' revealed a well-defined layer of Roman building debris associated with • ghost-walls', or foundation-trenches from which all masonry had been removed by stone-robbers. Below this was a stratum of dark occupation-earth with an abundance of pottery indicating the presence of an extensive Early Iron Age settlement. In view of the possibility of continuity of occupation between the pre­ Roman and Roman periods it was decided to make a thorough investigation of the site, and with the kind permission of the late Mr. T. Skurray of Abingdon, the owner, and with the constant cooperation of Mr. A.

  • Our Comment 1B.Ii Above
    and Wantage Grove Campaign Group Comments on the Oxfordshire Strategic Transport Plan 2015 The Executive Summary starts with the following paragraph: “Connecting Oxfordshire sets out Oxfordshire County Council’s policy and strategy for developing the transport system in Oxfordshire to 2031. It has been developed with input from Oxfordshire’s district councils, its businesses, MPs, stakeholder groups and through public consultation. It fits the County Council’s highest level strategic aims, as set out in Oxfordshire 2030, our Sustainable Community Strategy. It takes into account the plans and ambitions of the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership in its Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) for Oxfordshire and so identifies transport schemes that will support the Knowledge Spine growth area. Connecting Oxfordshire is nonetheless a plan for the whole county; it also sets out our policy priorities for parts of the county less affected by the Knowledge Spine, thereby providing a basis for securing transport improvements to support development countywide.” 0.i. As one of the main stakeholder groups representing more than 1000 people in Wantage and Grove we are disappointed that we were not asked for input earlier in the process. 0.ii. As one of the communities experiencing more than 60% growth in housing (taking more than 5% of the total included in the SEP) with most employment at least 10 miles away we are disappointed that relatively little mention is made of Wantage and Grove in a pack of documents which should provide significant infrastructure to support the development in our area. 1a Volume 1 (Overall Policy) ‐ Supporting Growth and Economic Vitality To what extent do you agree or disagree with this section? Mostly disagree 1b Volume 1 (Overall Policy) ‐ Supporting Growth and Economic Vitality What would you add or change? If possible, please explain why.

  • Hanneys Website History Overview 3
    A Brief History of the Hanney Villages The 7th century Hanney Brooch was found together with the burial of a high status female aged in her mid- twenties and a variety of other grave goods . People have been living in and around Hanney for at least 5,000 years. Recent archaeology, much of it undertaken in advance of proposed developments, has added greatly to our knowledge of early occupation in the area with Neolithic pottery, and Bronze Age and Iron age settlements. During the Roman occupation there was a lot of activity with a small settlement to the south of Summertown and a Roman road, possibly on the route of the A338, from Wantage to the religious site at Frilford and beyond to Alchester. Two major metal detector rallies in 2009 and 2010 on fields to the south and west of the villages found a small number of Bronze Age items, rather more from the Iron Age and a wealth from the Roman period. However, the most important find was of a 7th century Anglo-Saxon gold and garnet brooch which has become known as the Hanney Brooch and is the logo for Hanney News. The earliest written records of the area are from Saxon royal charters. One dated 968 A.D describes the gift of land to Abingdon Abbey by King Edgar. The boundaries within it almost entirely correspond to the present parish boundaries of East Hanney. Although no similar charter exists for West Hanney the Church of St. James the Great is thought to be of Saxon origins and to have been an early minster church, from which priests were sent out to other settlements.

  • Some Old Roads of North Berkshire
    Some Old Roads of North Berkshire- By the late GABRIELLE LAMBRICK HE area of Berkshire of which the old highways are discussed in the T following pages is that bounded on the north-west, north and east by the gr~at loop of the Thames from north of Faringdon, through Oxford, to Abing­ don, and on the south by the River Ock, with an extension from the middle valley of the Ock (in the Vale of White Horse; to Wantage, at the foot of the Berkshire Downs. Between Faringdon and Cumnor there is a long ridge or plateau running parallel with the right bank of the Thames and falling in a fairly steep escarpment to the river on the north and by a much more gradual slope to the Vale of White Horse and the valley of the Ock on the south. At right angles to this ridge, from its higher end at Cumnor Hurst, there runs the short sub­ sidiary ridge of Boars Hill and Foxcombe Hill, rising above the 500 ft. contour at its north-western extremity and falling steeply on both sides to the valley of the Thames south of Oxford on the one hand and to the valley of the Ock on the other. There is evidence that this part of the Thames valley was inhabited from prehistoric times onwards, and that there were Romano-British occupation sites at Abingdon and up the valley of the Ock. Anglo-Saxon settlements proliferated not only in the river valleys, but also along the Cumnor-Faringdon ridge and below the slopes of the Downs.
