Brightwell Baldwin Community History and Archaeology Project
South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group Project Design South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group in association with the Oxfordshire Buildings Trust Project design for a research excavation on the presumed site of the 17th century ASCOTT MANOR HOUSE ASCOTT PARK Stadhampton, Oxfordshire 2018-20 Ian Clarke and Roelie Reed SUMMARY Ascott Park was once a country seat of the Dormer family who resided there for many generations. William Dormer (d.1683) commissioned a new manor house and extensive remodelling of the grounds c.1660 but the house burnt down in 1662 when close to completion and was never occupied. Despite much recent research and fieldwork by and for the Oxfordshire Buildings Trust, culminating in an excavation in 2009 on the ‘traditional’ site of the 1662 house, its location remains disputed and unconfirmed. A geophysical survey by the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group in 2013 determined that the ‘traditional’ site is still by far the most likely location, and following a critical review of the earlier fieldwork, an alternative interpretation of the archaeology was proposed that supports that conclusion. This project design outlines a further excavation to try to prove ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ that William Dormer’s new house was built on the ‘traditional site’ and that the archaeology on that site is what remains of that house. 1 LOCATION AND CONTEXT 1.1 Ascott Park is centred at SU 611 981, close to the village of Stadhampton and about 12km south-east of Oxford. The park is on the Historic England (HE) Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, registered Grade II. Various buildings and structures are also listed Grade II or II* including a dovecot and a ‘granary/icehouse’, the latter also being a Scheduled Monument. -

Parish Report Feb 2020
REPORT TO PARISH COUNCILS FEBRUARY 2020 FROM CLLR DAVID BARTHOLOMEW As per my note last month, I have changed the way I supply reports and I now send out my ‘General OCC Report’ to all parish councils at the beginning of the month. This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news. I will take questions on the report at PC meetings and then deliver my local report in the usual way. GENERAL OCC REPORT SPECIAL THIRD READING BRIDGE MEETING FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2020 At an informal joint meeting of parish councils from the southern part of Oxfordshire on 31st January 2020 to discuss the proposed Third Reading Bridge, the following resolution was overwhelmingly passed: a) In the context of the Climate Emergency a car-based solution to a car-based problem that would pour thousands of cars and HGVs into Oxfordshire is totally inappropriate and should a new bridge be built it should be restricted to public transport, cyclists and pedestrians; b) Notwithstanding the above, if a car-based solution is pursued, the proposed bridge and necessary mitigation measures (i.e. improvements to the Oxfordshire road network) are not considered as two separate projects, but as one single project in order that the benefits, disadvantages and costs of the complete scheme can be holistically assessed. I was asked to communicate this fact to the MP Bridge Summit meeting in March. Representatives from these parish councils attended: Binfield Heath, Eye & Dunsden, Harpsden, Highmoor, Ipsden, Kidmore End, Rotherfield Greys, Rotherfield Peppard, Shiplake, Sonning Common. -

THE PARISH of BERRICK SALOME Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting Held on 22Nd May 2006 at the Berrick Salome Village Hall at 8.00 P.M
Signed …………………………………………………..…………….. (Berrick Salome Parish Council Chairman) THE PARISH OF BERRICK SALOME Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on 22nd May 2006 at the Berrick Salome Village Hall at 8.00 p.m. 1. Apologies for absence None were received. 2. Minutes of the last meeting The minutes of the last Annual Parish Meeting held on 6th June 2005 were read by John Radice, and approved and signed by Sarah Hicks. 3. Matters arising Item 11: Chris Cussens informed the Meeting that the Millstream Day Centre was in need of a new cooker, costing around £2,000. 4. The Annual Report of Parish Council This was presented by the chairman, Sarah Hicks. The main focus of Parish Council activities this year has again been on planning issues. 13 planning applications have been presented this year and of these 6 were granted, 4 refused and 3 withdrawn. One of those granted was for the Home Sweet Home to build a first floor extension, which will allow them to offer Bed & Breakfast accommodation. The most controversial planning application we saw was for Roke Farm. The Parish Council called an extra meeting to discuss one version of the plans, and that was attended by many local residents as well as the architect and applicants. On that occasion we recommended that the plan be refused, they were then withdrawn and replaced with a slightly reduced version. This time, the plans split the Council and by a majority vote we recommended them for approval. The SODC planning committee then refused the application by unanimous vote. -
Minutes November 2017 Page 1
East Hagbourne Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council meeting duly convened and held on Thursday 2nd November 2017 1) Attendance, apologies, declarations of pecuniary interest and vacancies. Present were Chairman D. Rickeard, Vice Chair, I. Duff, C. Gover, D. Button, S. Beynon, J. Elliott In attendance A. Leigh (Clerk), members of the public D. Rickeard reported that Crispin Topping has resigned form the Parish Council, but will continue to serve as Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group. 2) Public Forum and Questions. Members of the public were in attendance to present the views of the Save St Hugh’s Rise campaign against planning application P17/S3798/O They oppose the development due to the following grounds: 1) Access to a development of this size (85+ houses) which they consider inadequate, as access is solely through St Hugh’s Rise, a cul de sac off St Hilda's Close, which itself is a branch off the Fleet Meadow loop road, called Sandringham Rd. St Hugh’s is a small cul-de-sac that contains 65 houses, resulting in many cars parking on the road itself. Additionally, St Hugh’s has narrowed pinch points, further restricting traffic flow. The proposed development could see an additional 150+ cars attempting to use this already over utilised access road. Construction traffic will be accessing the development through narrow residential roads and will be noisy, dangerous and inconvenient to residents. How would emergency services cope in the case of an emergency arising? St Hilda's Close and its tributary streets contains 105 + houses, all of which will have the same main access point back to Sandringham road. -
