  • George Edmund Street
    DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE WORK BY ONE OF THE GREATEST VICTORIAN ARCHITECTS? George Edmund Street Diocesan Church Building Society, and moved to Wantage. The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.

  • Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire
    Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire By B. J. ENRIGHT INthe English Topographer, published in 1720, Richard Rawlinson described the manuscript and printed sources from which a history of Oxfordshire might be compiled and declared regretfully, ' of this County .. we have as yet no perfect Description.' He hastened to add in that mysteriously weH­ informed manner which invariably betokened reference to his own activities: But of this County there has been, for some Years past, a Description under Consideration, and great Materials have been collected, many Plates engraved, an actual Survey taken, and Quaeries publish'd and dispers'd over the County, to shew the Nature of the Design, as well to procure Informations from the Gentry and others, which have, in some measure, answer'd the Design, and encouraged the Undertaker to pursue it with all convenient Speed. In this Work will be included the Antiquities of the Town and City of Oxford, which Mr. Anthony d l-Vood, in Page 28 of his second Volume of Athenae Oxonienses, &c. promised, and has since been faithfully transcribed from his Papers, as well as very much enJarg'd and corrected from antient Original Authorities. I At a time when antiquarian studies were rapidly losing their appeal after the halcyon days of the 17th-century,' this attempt to compile a large-scale history of a county which had received so little attention caUs for investigation. In proposing to publish a history of Oxfordshirc at this time, Rawlinson was being far less unrealistic thall might at first appear. For

  • Coaching Days on the Oxford Road
    Coaching days on the Oxford Road Before the A40 was constructed, travellers from London to Oxford and Worcester came through Wheatley and details of royalty and others who did so have already been described. It is important to understand the differing routes which have run through Wheatley from 1593, with these being shown on Jack Turner’s excellent interpretation of the 1593 All Souls College map onto which he has added more recent features and names. Coming from London in 1593, the traveller crossed over Wheatley bridge (at the bottom of the map). Shortly afterwards, and whilst still in the parish of Holton, there was a choice of either turning left or continuing straight on. A ‘dry route’ avoided the brook along the valley through the village, by taking the left turn to Shotover and turning left again at the Cley Hill field. It is described on the 1593 map as the ‘waye leading from Wheatley bridge to Shotover’ and leads on into Oxford. The route which went straight on followed the line of the London Road (including the ‘bulge’, now Old London Road), turning left into what is now Church Road (merely a track at the time), and thence into, and across, Westfield towards Forest Hill, and on to Islip and Worcester. By the time that coaches were travelling from London to Oxford, they would have taken the left turn after the bridge which linked up with Roman Road, ignoring the Cley Hill turn, before becoming Crown Road, and thence Wheatley High Street, thus enabling the coaches to avoid the steep climb up Castle Hill.
