ST. THOMAS PARISH REGISTERS WATCHFIELD Baptisms 1858-1946; Marriages 1858-1958; Burials 1861-1982 FOR PREVIOUS WATCHFIELD ENTRIES CONSULT SHRIVENHAM REGISTERS CONTENTS Origins of the Church Page 1 Abbreviations Page 2 Baptisms 1858 - 1946 Pages 3 - 17 Marriages 1858 - 1958 Pages 18 - 32 Burials 1861 - 1982 Pages 33 - 40 Index Pages 41 - 46 Shrivenham Parish, in the County of Berkshire until 1974 and thereafter in Oxfordshire, consisted of the adjacent villages of Watchfield, with the Tythings of Becket and Stainswick, and Bourton. Watchfield has been a settlement since very early times, as evidenced by the discovery of a Saxon cemetery in 1985. It became well known in the 2nd World War for its training airfield, now back in agricultural use, and since then for the proximity of the Royal Military College of Science built in the extensive grounds of Becket House. Services are held at 6.30 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, and Holy Communion at 9 a.m. every Sunday. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks go to the PCC of Shrivenham and Watchfield and Canon J. M. Wade for giving permission for the Registers to be copied; to Berkshire Record Office for their co-operation in allowing the Registers to be removed from their care while being transcribed; to Mr Curtis, churchwarden, for making it a pleasant and interesting experience visiting the church and borrowing the Burial Register; to Rosemary Church for the transcription, indexing and typing of the Registers. COPIES deposited at Berkshire Record Office; Oxford Record Office; Wiltshire Record Office; Society of Genealogists; St Thomas Church, Watchfield.

In consequence of the pulling down of the Chapel the inhabitants of Watchfield were obliged to go to the Parish Church of Shrivenham, this being found inconvenient & the cause of many never coming to Church at all, it was determined at a meeting held at Mr Bowles at Watchfield in February 1857, that the Chapel should be rebuilt on a piece of ground called Chapel Ham & that subscriptions should be commenced forthwith; and the following persons & societies kindly gave their assistance.

The foundation stone was laid by Lady C. Berens, wife of Archdeacon Berens, Vicar, on Monday May 18th 1857 and the Chapel was consecrated by Samuel Wilberforce Bishop of Oxford March 4th 1858. The Prayers were said by Rev. C. B. Calley, Curate. Mrs Calley played the harmonium; Viscountess Barrington & the Honble Misses Barrington led the singing. The Chapel was dedicated to St Thomas the Apostle, which was the same Saint the former one had been dedicated to; the Chapel yard was consecrated at the same time. 2 ABBREVIATIONS A.

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism

    ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism

    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

    Ashbury Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031 A report to Vale of White Horse District Council on the Ashbury Neighbourhood Development Plan Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner BA (Hons) MA, DMS, MRTPI Director – Andrew Ashcroft Planning Limited Executive Summary 1 I was appointed by Vale of White Horse District Council in February 2019 to carry out the independent examination of the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan. 2 The examination was undertaken by written representations. I visited the neighbourhood plan area on 11 March 2019. 3 The Plan includes a range of policies and seeks to bring forward positive and sustainable development in the neighbourhood area. There is a very clear focus on safeguarding local character and designating local green spaces. It also includes policies to manage future residential growth. The Plan is very-well written and presented. It is also distinctive to the neighbourhood area. 4 The Plan has been significantly underpinned by community support and engagement. It is clear that all sections of the community have been actively engaged in its preparation. 5 Subject to a series of recommended modifications set out in this report I have concluded that the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan meets all the necessary legal requirements and should proceed to referendum. 6 I recommend that the referendum should be held within the neighbourhood area. Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner 26 April 2019 1 1 Introduction 1.1 This report sets out the findings of the independent examination of the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2031 (the Plan). 1.2 The Plan has been submitted to Vale of White Horse District Council (VWHDC) by Ashbury Parish Council in its capacity as the qualifying body responsible for preparing the neighbourhood plan.

  • The Eagle Public House at Watchfield the History Known So Far

    The Eagle Public House at Watchfield the History Known So Far

    The Eagle Public House at Watchfield The history known so far One of the sources that has been invaluable in tracing the origins of local public houses has been the census returns of the 19th century. The return for Watchfield for 1861 provides clues. We have already identified that John Bowden’s beer house on page six of that census was the Royal Oak (Demolished in 2011). On page ten we know that Adin Sly ran the beer house that was known as the Star Inn, in Oxford Square (burned down in 1928). But there is another property on page six called a, ‘Public House,’ being run by William Carter who was described as a, ‘Pig Dealer & Beer Seller.’ He also appears in the Oxford Journal newspaper on 9th August 1862, described as a, ‘beer-house keeper of Watchfield,’ who was fined for possessing an unstamped half-pint measure. The Berkshire Chronicle dated 1st October 1859 reports at the electoral registration hearings at Faringdon that, William Carter, James Green and Adin Sly all failed to appear. It’s also significant to know that these three budding electors, all had strong connections with the three Watchfield beer houses. Even though the beer house that William Carter was running was not named, the evidence would strongly suggest that it was the Eagle. The Eagle at Watchfield in 2020. Photo by Neil B. Maw An inquest that took place in 1870 is the first documentary confirmation of the name of the pub. The Reading Mercury newspaper dated 31st December 1870, reported on the evidence given at the Eagle, concerning the circumstances of the death of Mr Edward Jefferies, a local farmer.

    Admission Policies 2021/2022

    Ashbury with Compton Beauchamp Church of England (Aided) Primary School Admissions 2021/2022 Policy Approved by: Full Governing Board Date: 3rd December 2019 Last Reviewed: November 2018 Next Review Due By: December 2020 ( Last Full Consultation 2014) Oxfordshire County Council Oxford Diocesan Board of Education OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ADMISSION POLICY FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/22 SCHOOL SIZE Ashbury School is a small rural primary school. The admissions number for the academic year 2021-2022 is 15 children with the same number of places allocated to other year groups. Whilst this is first and foremost a Church of England Aided Primary School, the Governors warmly welcome all children, including children of other faiths and no faith, to the school. Traditionally children have been drawn from the parishes of Ashbury and Compton Beauchamp, which include Knighton, Odstone, Idstone and Kingstone Winslow. The Christian ethos of the school, the facilities, the small teaching groups, the care of children with special needs and the high standards have attracted children from other areas. With the passing of recent legislation parents are free to opt for their choice of school if there is space available. In such cases it is the Head Teacher's and the Governors' wish that parents should inform their nearest school of their decision to send their child to Ashbury School. VOLUNTARY AIDED STATUS The law places responsibility for admission arrangements with the school Governors of Ashbury School. The Governors are required to consult with the Oxford Diocesan Board of Education and the Oxfordshire County Council where there are proposed material changes to the policy.
