M 1 Theodore the Hermit A 4 2 3 For many years between the wars and until he died in 1950, Theodore Lamb lived the life of a recluse in a shack on Sibford Heath. A skilled watch and clock repairer, Theodore plied his trade around the local villages. He also played various instruments and posed for photographs for which he charged a fee of half a crown. He travelled around, sometimes on a bicycle without tyres, sometimes on foot, and usually with some form of truck loaded with junk and, in the winter, his fire in a bucket as well. He always paid for his small needs, although when his clothing, which was often made from sacks, Location Map became less than decent he was banned from Banbury and had to wait at the door of the village shop to be served. He was always totally honest and completely harmless despite his appearance.

SIBFORDS COMMUNITY PLAN 2012 2 Sibfords Community Plan FOREWORD
SIBFORDS COMMUNITY PLAN 2012 2 SIBFORDS COMMUNITY PLAN FOREWORD ‘‘In this era of Localism the producing of a Community Plan is the first step for the Sibfords to be able to tell the County & the District Councils what the residents need and wish for. It also gives the two Parish Councils the green light to pursue the aims set out in the plan. This will be especially useful now Cherwell District Council’s Local Development Plan is nearing adoption but it also opens the door for many future projects to enhance the already delightful villages you live in. This is your plan for the future of Sibford Ferris, Sibford Gower and Burdrop put together by the Steering Group supported by Working Groups and will need to be updated as time goes by.

Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

The Church Band at Walcliffe
The Church Band at walcliffe By MAURICE BYRNE HE origin of church bands in England is generally traced to the late '7th T century following the destruction of organs in churches by the Puritans, but as very few places have records of the forming of their bands little is known definitely.' It is fortunate, therefore, that there has recently been an oppor tunity to examine the ' Swalcliffe Singers Book ' wruch records in some detail the setting up of a band in the church in '783 and also throws light on certain aspects of musical life in London.' Swalclilfe in the late ,8th century was one of the largest of the orth Oxfordshire parishes with villages at Swalcliffe itself and at the Sibfords, Shutford and Epwell. The parish was prosperous: an influential Quaker population centred on the Sibfords and a flourishing community of weavers was well-established. The parish church was' large and beautiful' according to Rawlinson in '718' and presumably had the western gallery which was removed in the 19th century. There was already an interest in music and a company of at least 14 singers sang in the church and were the prime movers behind the project to form a band to accompany them. Three of their members, Thomas Walker junior and James Colcutt junior of Sibford Ferris and William Hains of Sibford Gower, undertook the organization of tbe band and the raising of the funds and became the chief instrumentalists. Presumably this was by no means e.xceptional in Oxfordshire parishes for in '781 the churchwardens of Ambrosden paid for a bassoon and hautboy from Oxford and in '786 Tadrnarton, the neighbouring parish to Swalcliffe, bought bassoon reeds.' In Swalcliffe, however, the organizers, obviously wishing to have things on a proper basis, drew up their accounts carefully and deposited them with the vicar John Caswell: 'to be deposited and kept ,vith the Records of the church for a memorandum that the above instruments are to be kept for I The only work dealing with the subject t.
