Lower Heyford and Caulcott LOWER HEYFORD AND CAULCOTT PARISH PLAN 2010/11 INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME Welcome to the Parish Plan This plan has been put together by the Parish Plan Steering group, which had representation from the Parish Council. The steering group has taken forward some of the quick wins whilst the plan was in the process of being put together, but the Parish Council has adopted the plan and has agreed to drive forward implementation in the future. The Parish Plan Steering Group believes that this report has accurately recorded the opinions of those who answered the questionnaire. With a 70% response rate it is likely that those who mind most about the environment in which they live have given their comment. We trust that when decisions are made about potential changes in Lower Heyford and Caulcott the results of this report will be taken into account. We live in a beautiful place, and there are many people of goodwill in the villages who contribute to our community life and our surroundings in a range of ways. But there is space for more! If you are interested in any of the areas covered in this plan, have any resources to offer, and you have not yet been recruited please don’t hesitate to get in touch with anyone on the contacts page in this plan or make yourself known to a parish councillor, If you are short of time, there is a one page summary of key findings from the village wide questionnaire towards the front of the report and an action plan summary at the back, but we hope that most may like to read the village snapshot and the more detailed analysis with recommendations that comes in between.

  • Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973
    Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973 By R. A. CHAMBERS SUMMARy During the autumn of I9 73 a watching briif was kept over a series ofpipe trenches dug for the installation of main drainage in and around the shrunken medieval village of Somerton, Oxon. (SP497287).' Continuous observation of the open trench sections provided material from the medieval village' and also enabled a reappraisal of the cemetery at Castle Yard (SP496288).' THE VILLAGE HIS report is concerned with the archaeological information from pipe trenches. T The historical and topographical background has been included to provide a context for the features encountered and is not a comprehensive account of the whole village,' which was one of the largest and richest in Ploughley Hundred during the Middle Ages. Since the medieval period the village has shrunk, leaving the present nucleated settlement with the Norman parish church on its southerr. edge (FIG. I). The deserted areas which surround the present village are for the most part under pasture with earthworks clearly visible (PL. Xl, A). On the west side of the village, Church Street forms a ' T ' junction with a hollow way shown by Davis' map to have been disused and under pasture by 1797.' Northwards the way ends by the assumed castle fishponds. Some 100 m. south-west of Church Street the h~llow way con­ tinues westwards and forms the boundary between some less pronounced village earthworks to the north and the edge of the open field to the south (PL. Xl, A)." The western limit of the open field and a further length of the hollow way lie buried by the mid nineteenth-century railway embankment.
