  • George Edmund Street
    DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE WORK BY ONE OF THE GREATEST VICTORIAN ARCHITECTS? George Edmund Street Diocesan Church Building Society, and moved to Wantage. The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.

  • Early Medieval Oxfordshire
    Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire Sally Crawford and Anne Dodd, December 2007 1. Introduction: nature of the evidence, history of research and the role of material culture Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire has been extremely well served by archaeological research, not least because of coincidence of Oxfordshire’s diverse underlying geology and the presence of the University of Oxford. Successive generations of geologists at Oxford studied and analysed the landscape of Oxfordshire, and in so doing, laid the foundations for the new discipline of archaeology. As early as 1677, geologist Robert Plot had published his The Natural History of Oxfordshire ; William Smith (1769- 1839), who was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire, determined the law of superposition of strata, and in so doing formulated the principles of stratigraphy used by archaeologists and geologists alike; and William Buckland (1784-1856) conducted experimental archaeology on mammoth bones, and recognised the first human prehistoric skeleton. Antiquarian interest in Oxfordshire lead to a number of significant discoveries: John Akerman and Stephen Stone's researches in the gravels at Standlake recorded Anglo-Saxon graves, and Stone also recognised and plotted cropmarks in his local area from the back of his horse (Akerman and Stone 1858; Stone 1859; Brown 1973). Although Oxford did not have an undergraduate degree in Archaeology until the 1990s, the Oxford University Archaeological Society, originally the Oxford University Brass Rubbing Society, was founded in the 1890s, and was responsible for a large number of small but significant excavations in and around Oxfordshire as well as providing a training ground for many British archaeologists. Pioneering work in aerial photography was carried out on the Oxfordshire gravels by Major Allen in the 1930s, and Edwin Thurlow Leeds, based at the Ashmolean Museum, carried out excavations at Sutton Courtenay, identifying Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 1920s, and at Abingdon, identifying a major early Anglo-Saxon cemetery (Leeds 1923, 1927, 1947; Leeds 1936).

    saturday 8 - monday 31 may 2010 free guide www.artweeks.org Sponsored by Welcome to Artweeks 2010 2010 is set to be the biggest Artweeks ever with 474 sites exhibiting during the Festival. Artweeks plays a vital role in bringing artists and art enthusiasts and buyers together across the county. Our goal this year is to bring new audiences to the work of Oxfordshire's creative community, those who might find the idea of going to a gallery daunting. By visiting an open studio and talking to the artist you get to understand the creative process, the way they have tried to convey their ideas and the effect they have created. Most of the works on view are for sale and you'll find some originals at prices that you might pay for a mass-produced copy in a quality department store. Artweeks is all about involvement and originality; by simply going along to a couple of studios and seeing what is on offer, you too add to the vibrancy of Oxfordshire's biggest arts festival.

Great Rollright is a secluded rural parish adjoining the Warwickshire border, c.2¾ miles north of Chipping Norton and the same south-west of Hook Norton.1 The village, comprising several distinct ‘ends’ now partly linked by modern infill, developed on a south-facing slope close to an ancient ridgeway from Stow-on-the Wold (Glos.) to Banbury. Little outlying settlement existed until enclosure in 1776, which prompted the building of a few isolated farmhouses, while more recent development increased the overall number of dwellings from 80-odd in the 1930s to over 200 in 2011. The economy was predominantly agricultural until the 20th century, benefiting briefly from the Cheltenham to Banbury railway (1887–1962), and in the 19th century the presence of a large body of poorly paid farm workers probably contributed to increased Nonconformity. Significant landowners included Brasenose College, Oxford (also church patron), and the resident Sheppards (1583–1742). The prefix ‘Great’, 1 This account was written in 2019–20 and revised in 2021.

  • Choose Chipping Norton
    Choose Chipping Norton Chipping Norton is a bustling Cotswold market town and ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’; it’s a fantastic place to visit and a market is held there every Wednesday and a Farmers’ Market on the third Saturday of each month. The town has some great shopping and a good choice of places to eat and drink. There is a town guide and a town trail available to download that take in some of the highlights in and around Chipping Norton, as well as a number of walks into the surrounding countryside. Within the town itself don’t miss the Grade I listed Church of St Mary the Virgin and the Owen Mumford Gallery within the Theatre Chipping Norton. The gallery, which has free admission, is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am-3pm. From Wednesday 26 March to Wednesday 16 April, the gallery is showing drawings and sketchings by the theatre’s artist-in-residence, Chris Forthergill. The Rollright Stones near Chipping Norton Just 2.5 miles from Chipping Norton lie the mysterious Rollright Stones: a prehistoric standing stone circle. Legend tells us that a king and his army were marching over the Cotswolds when they met a witch, who addressed the king... "Seven long strides thou shalt take, and If Long Compton thou canst see King of England shalt thou be" The king strode forward confidently but on his seventh stride the ground rose obscuring his view of the village below. The witch then turned the men to stone, the king overlooking Long Compton, his men standing in a circle nearby, and his five knights whispering treachery a little further off.
