River Cherwell Catchment Management Plan
NRA Thames 228 RIVER CHERWELL CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN DRAFT ACTION PLAN National Rivers Authority November 1995 Thames Region - West Area Isis House Howbery Park Wallingford Oxon 0X10 8BD KEY CATCHMENT STATISTICS Catchment area: 906 km2 Average Annual rainfall (1941-70): 682mm Total Main River length: 506km Population (estimate): 137,000 NRA National Rrvers Authority Thames Region General Features Local Authorities CMP Boundary Water Body Urban Areas Stratford-on-Avon West Oxfordshire Main Rivers Lock County Boundary' Daventry South Oxfordshire Non Main Rivers Motorway □ S. Northants. Oxford City Oxford Canal A Road Chcrwell Aylesbury Vale VISION 1-OR TIIE RIVER Cl IER WELL CATCHMENT In preparing the catchment visiou, the NRA has defined what it would wish the catchment to be aud the principle we will be following in working towards that visiou. The catchmeut visiou may not be something that cau be achieved iu the next five years, but something we can all work towards. Whilst the Cherwell Catchment lies largely within Oxfordshire it also encroaches into Buckinghamshire to the east and Warwickshire and Northamptonshire to the north. From its source at Charwelton to the Thames confluence, the river generally flows north to south and over a length of about 96 bn falls 100 metres, draining an area o f over 900 Ian2. Agriculture is the main land use in the catchment and has influenced the character of its countryside and landscape. The contribution made by the River Cherwell to the character of Oxfordshire in particular is recognised by several policies in the Structure Plan which seek to protect and enhance its natural features. -
The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey

His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus.
