Year Group Report – 1959
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE BIOGRAPHY BOOKLET – YEAR OF 1959 Foreword This booklet has been compiled to mark the fiftieth anniversary of our coming up to Somerville in 1959, celebrated with a special Golden Reunion at the college in September 2009. Sixty-seven of us embarked on our undergraduate degrees together. Three are no longer in touch with the College and seven of our year group have died, some very prematurely. Of the fifty-nine members of the year group we were able to contact, fifty-five – and two postgraduate contemporaries – are included in this booklet. Through their biographical reflections and perspectives we can be in touch with one another again at this point in our lives. Thinking back to Oxford and Somerville has evoked nostalgic recollections: people write of the beautiful historical setting; the bells on Sunday mornings; summer days on the river; lectures by iconic figures; conversation and coffee with friends; the adrenalin rush of cycling down St Giles on a cold November morning; reading, reading - in libraries, in bookshops and in bed. Writing of life since Somerville calls forth a fuller spectrum of experience and stories of struggle, success, sorrow and serenity. Our year group has its share of the eminent and famous, and we have been able to take pleasure in seeing our friends and acquaintances become household names and national treasures, present in the live and the printed media, in the House of Lords and in the National Portrait Gallery. Most of us have lived and worked out of the public eye, but through the telescope of these biographies appears an array of other stars in their own right. -
AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our
1 AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our grandparents lived on Church Way, the loop of road right in front of the old Norman church of Iffley. Their house, which they called Avenham, was subsequently re-named Rick House, because it was built on the site of the cottages in the rickyard of an old farm. This may well have been the White family farm, as the parents of our grandmother Lily White lived in the adjacent house in their old age, and quite likely before this as well. This house is known to have been a farm-house. I was told as a child that the White family had "always" farmed in Iffley. I have always believed that Grandpa designed Avenham, which is an Italianate brick villa, and that he was an architect or landscape designer. Pat though says he worked for the Thames Conservancy & it was his father, in Lancashire, who followed this profession, and the name Avenham was taken from a park he had designed in Lancashire. It appears that Grandpa, George Edward Rowbotham, who was at school at St.Peter's, York, had done a year of studies in architecture before he came south in the 1890's and never went back. His drawing of Avenham on the right dates from about 1912 and is from Aunty Alice’s autograph book, which was discovered by Ken Hunnisett in a second-hand shop! Ken says the house still exists as No 101 Church Way. Grandpa cut his ties with his family in Preston, or rather they disowned him. -
Headington Hill Conservation Area Appraisal

Seed Bank Plants Presentation
Oxfordshire Recorders and Conservation Day, Saturday, 28 February 2015 Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford OX1 3PW _______________________________________________________________________ Seed Bank Plants - presentation by Dr Judith A Webb All photos copyright J A Webb Introduction As long as I have been a botanist, I have been fascinated by seeds and growing plants from seeds. The theme of this conference is ‘Recording the Invisible’ and my imagination was first caught by the account of the resurrection of the rare plant Starfruit Damasonium alisma - apparently ‘back from the dead’. This had disappeared (been lost) in the flora of ponds that had become silted up or choked with emergent vegetation of sedge and bulrush, losing the shallow open water it needed. ‘Cleaning-out’ such a pond – removing most of the choking vegetation and silt to return it to an earlier successional stage – activates long-dormant (invisible) Starfruit seed held in the seed bank in the pond sediment (as long as some of the original sediment with dormant seed has been left or actively returned to the rejuvenated pond). It is important that we realise, as recorders, that a plant, though not seen as a flowering or vegetative organism, may not be extinct on a site. It may be still there but invisible in the form of viable but dormant seed in the soil or sediment. Such a seed bank might last for only a few years or for up to 100 years or longer depending on the species. What follows are some examples of what I have found out from my own observations and research on plants with seeds with long dormancy and those with short dormancy. -

4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese. -

Oxford City Council Local Plan 2036
Oxford City Council Local Sites Audit Plan 2036 BACKGROUND PAPER INTRODUCTION 1. This background paper forms part of the evidence base for the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and supplements the relevant background papers on Site Assessments that were published at the Issues stage of consultation in 2016 and the Preferred Options stage of consultation in 2017. For clarity, the 2016 and 2017 papers have not been reproduced here but this paper should be read alongside the previous papers. 2. The first part of the paper provides background information on the sites identified at Preferred Options Stage and provides information on how these were identified and the assessment process used to determine which sites would be taken forward for further investigation. 3. The second part sets out the differences between the list of sites accepted at Preferred Options stage and those taken forward into the Proposed Submission Plan. Within this section there is commentary on further reasons considered to help determine which sites should go forward and why sites were rejected at this stage. The section also includes commentary on additional sites that were added at this stage and the reasons for this. 4. The paper is supported by two Appendices. Appendix 1 is a list of Preferred Options rejected sites. This list has been updated with an additional column added to identify sites that were previously rejected but are now being accepted. The additional column contains commentary on why these sites are now being accepted and included within the Proposed Submission Plan. Appendix 2 is a list of the Preferred Options accepted sites.
