    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Goring (July 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Landownership • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Goring Landownership In the mid-to-late Anglo-Saxon period Goring may have been the centre of a sizeable royal estate, parts of which became attached to the burh of Wallingford (Berks.) following its creation in the late 9th century.1 By 1086 there were three estates in the parish, of which two can be identified as the later Goring and Gatehampton manors.2 Goring priory (founded before 1135) accrued a separate landholding which became known as Goring Priory manor, while the smaller manors of Applehanger and Elvendon developed in the 13th century from freeholds in Goring manor’s upland part, Applehanger being eventually absorbed into Elvendon. Other medieval freeholds included Haw and Querns farms and various monastic properties. In the 17th century Goring Priory and Elvendon manors were absorbed into a large Hardwick estate based in neighbouring Whitchurch, and in the early 18th Henry Allnutt (d. 1725) gave Goring manor as an endowment for his new Goring Heath almshouse. Gatehampton manor, having belonged to the mostly resident Whistler family for almost 200 years, became attached c.1850 to an estate focused on Basildon Park (Berks.), until the latter was dispersed in 1929−30 and Gatehampton manor itself was broken up in 1943. The Hardwick estate, which in 1909 included 1,505 a. in Goring,3 was broken up in 1912, and landownership has since remained fragmented. Significant but more short-lived holdings were amassed by John Nicholls from the 1780s, by the Gardiners of Whitchurch from 1819, and by Thomas Fraser c.1820, the first two accumulations including the rectory farm and tithes.

Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.
