Cllr Bird proposed, Cllr Cooke seconded the motion and the Council RESOLVED (unanimous by those in attendance) that the amended minutes were a true record. 50/19 10 Minute Open Forum. Residents addressed the council about the following issues: 1. Lack of footpath between the entrance of Heyford Leys and the East End of Camp Road: This area was considered to be dangerous for pedestrians as there is no footpath and it is almost impossible to walk along the verge. At least one mother with a child in a buggy has been seen walking along this dangerous stretch of road as she had no other option. Concerns were raised that pedestrians could slip and fall in front of one of the numerous lorries that use this road. 2. Mismatch of path along the 200 yards stretch of road to the entrance to the woods: Residents noted that there was usually a long line of cars parked by the burger van blocking sight lines and you then had to cross a very dangerous stretch of road in order to get to the entrance of the woods.

  • 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.

  • Clifton Past and Present
    Clifton Past and Present L.E. Gardner, 1955 Clifton, as its name would imply, stands on the side of a hill – ‘tun’ or ‘ton’ being an old Saxon word denoting an enclosure. In the days before the Norman Conquest, mills were grinding corn for daily bread and Clifton Mill was no exception. Although there is no actual mention by name in the Domesday Survey, Bishop Odo is listed as holding, among other hides and meadows and ploughs, ‘Three Mills of forty one shillings and one hundred ells, in Dadintone’. (According to the Rev. Marshall, an ‘ell’ is a measure of water.) It is quite safe to assume that Clifton Mill was one of these, for the Rev. Marshall, who studied the particulars carefully, writes, ‘The admeasurement assigned for Dadintone (in the survey) comprised, as it would seem, the entire area of the parish, including the two outlying townships’. The earliest mention of the village is in 1271 when Philip Basset, Baron of Wycomb, who died in 1271, gave to the ‘Prior and Convent of St Edbury at Bicester, lands he had of the gift of Roger de Stampford in Cliftone, Heentone and Dadyngtone in Oxfordshire’. Another mention of Clifton is in 1329. On April 12th 1329, King Edward III granted a ‘Charter in behalf of Henry, Bishop of Lincoln and his successors, that they shall have free warren in all their demesne, lands of Bannebury, Cropperze, etc. etc. and Clyfton’. In 1424 the Prior and Bursar of the Convent of Burchester (Bicester) acknowledged the receipt of thirty-seven pounds eight shillings ‘for rent in Dadington, Clyfton and Hampton’.

    Village Square - Lower Aynho Grounds - Souldern Mill - Souldern Village - The Fox - Souldern Church - Aynho, Croughton Road - Village Square Leave the Village Square down Little Lane. At the bottom of the lane turn right and cross the main road with care. Take the footpath round into Station Road, following the sign for Deddington, and continue to the bottom of the hill. Turn left up the drive of Lower Aynho Grounds. Follow the drive with Aynho Park to your left over the wall. There are good views of Aynho Park House back over your left shoulder from certain points along this part of the track. After about half a mile, at the bottom of the hill, the drive curves to the right. The bridleway branches off to the left with parallel concrete wheel tracks indicating the route. The fence is on the right of the track. The track, known as Miller’s Lane, continues down to Souldern Mill where the stream crosses the track and it may be necessary to ford on the rare occasions when the water level is high. Souldern Village Souldern Manor, which you pass on your right, was built by Bernard Weedon in 1655 after he had pulled down an old Saxon Manor near the church. It has been restored and the grounds spectacularly redeveloped by the present owner. Half way along the main street on your right you will pass a narrow lane leading to a lovely old pub, The Fox. Pass through the village and turn left at the village pond. Take the road down to the church.
