A Short History of WHEATLEY STONE
A Short History of WHEATLEY STONE By W. O. HASSALL ILLUSTRATED BY PETER TYSOE 1955 Printed at the Oxford School of Art WHEATLEY STONE The earliest quarry at Wheatley to be named in the records is called Chalgrove, but it is not to be confused with the famous field of the same name where John Hampden was mortally wounded and which was transformed into an aerodrome during the war. Chalgrove in Wheatley lies on the edge of Wheatley West field, near the boundary of Shotover Park on the south side of the road from London to High Wycombe, opposite a turning to Forest Hill and Islip where a modern quarry is worked for lime, six miles East of Oxford. The name of Challrove in Wheatley is almost forgotten, except by the elderly, though the name appears in the Rate books. The exact position is marked in a map of 1593 at All Souls College and grass covered depressions which mark the site are visible from the passing buses. The All Souls map shows that some of these depressions, a little further east, were called in Queen Elizabeth’s reign Glovers and Cleves pits. The Queen would have passed near them when she travelled as a prisoner from Woodstock to Rycot on a stormy day when the wind was so rough that her captors had to hold down her dress and later when she came in triumph to be welcomed by the City and University at Shotover, on her way to Oxford. The name Chaigrove is so old that under the spelling Ceorla graf it occurs in a charter from King Edwy dated A.D. -

Lord Williams's School Safe Routes to School
Lord Williams’s School Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School - the story so far Walking or cycling to school is an excellent way of improving fitness. Students who walk or cycle to school are more alert and ready to work in class too! Lord Williams’s School encourages all students who live in or near Thame to walk or cycle to school, following safe routes and travelling with friends if at all possible. We also hope that all students who come to school by bus walk to/from the bus stop in their village. Where there is no bus serving a particular village, we encourage families to share cars so that traffic congestion is reduced. Over recent years the school has worked with the local community and Oxfordshire County Council to promote safer walking and cycling to and from school. A small working group comprising school staff, parents, students and governors, met and developed a School Travel Plan. This plan outlines the main objectives we aspire to and specific targets to help us achieve them. Additional money from the government helped us to make good progress towards achieving our targets. Specific achievements We secured money from the government to help us redesign the dangerous access road to the Leisure Centre at Upper School to make it more cyclist & pedestrian friendly We lobbied the County Council to raise awareness of further dangerous crossing points in Thame Lower School students can now use a zebra crossing and footpath to enter school from Towersey Road, avoiding the car park exit that had been identified as dangerous -

A number of new organisations have provided reports and this is very encouraging. However, some organisations continue to provide no report of their work in the area, in particular I know of one which has done work in it on a gas pipeline and a churchyard near where I live. I'm sure there are others. County archaeologists and peers must apply pressure to these defaulters. Through this editorial could I please request that when contract archaeologists do work in an area they make their presence known to the local archaeological society, because it is that society to which the public will address questions about what is going on; it does help archaeology's image if we all seem to be working together. -

Conservation Target Area Updates Chilterns Escarpment North (CTA Lead - Chilterns AONB) BBOWT reports that they have a new grazier on Chinnor Hill, which is very important for keeping the chalk grassland in good condition. BBOWT reserve wardens have been using their Alpine Tractor at Chinnor, Oakley and Aston Rowant with Nicole, Giles and volunteers clearing scrub and brambles. They are also working with Natural England to explore how they work closer with the use of the Alpine Tractor, training and volunteers.
