  • Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches
    Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches By E. T. LONG INTRODUCTION EFORE the Reformation the interiors of our churches glowed with colour Bon walls, roofs, screens, images and altar pieces, while the windows sparkled with the brilliance of painted glass. In the Middle Ages, as comparatively few people could read, it was necessary to teach by means of pictures, which in any case are often more informative than the written or spoken word, and this was the primary purpose of mural paintings. At the Reformation these pictures were ordered to be obliterated as symbols of Popish idolatry, and scriptural texts put in their places. These texts were, of course, intended to be instructive and edifying, and their often decorative value helped to give some colour to the now otherwise hare interiors of the churches. Occasionally, especially in the 17th century, representations of the Apostles and Prophets or Death depicted as a skeleton with spade and hourglass were executed, but generally speaking such pictures were crude compared with their medieval predecessors. During the medieval period later paintings were often superimposed on the originals, some­ times with the same subject but more usually with something entirely different; an example of the former process can be detected at Combe and of the latter formerly at South Newington. Though mural painting was employed from early times in this country, as is proved from remains that have been discovered in Roman villas, it is probable that the earliest examples now surviving belong to the Romanesque period. These paintings are not, as a rule, true frescoes but are executed in tempera on the dry plaster, whereas a fresco is painted on the plaster while it is still moist so tllat the colours are incorporated in it.

  • 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.
