It was formerly known as Sandeville Manor and was held by the de Sandeville family from 1199 until 1891. A walk through this historic family house quickly tells you of its age and history and while many improvements have been made in more recent times there is certainly further potential to realise. The house benefits from four well-proportioned reception rooms all of which have open fires and enjoy lovely views over the gardens with the exception of the dining room which faces east over the moat and paddocks. Of particular note is the fine vaulted drawing room and gallery which is thought to be the earliest part of the house. Beyond the dining room is a good sized kitchen/breakfast room, again with views of the paddocks and offering great potential for further improvement. Upstairs the two principal bedrooms lie on the south east wing of the house which is thought to date from the 18th century. The remaining bedrooms, with the exception of bedroom 6, face south west over the garden. Gardens The garden lies to the south and west of the house and is partly walled. It is laid to lawn enclosed by clipped hedges, herbaceous borders, shrubs and trees including a fine weeping willow. Running the length of the house is a terrace with doors to the dining room and study. Beyond the garden is a moat which extends round the south and west of the house and into the paddocks. Lying behind the barn is an arena/hard tennis court which requires re-furbishment. The house is approached from a private drive off Paper Mill Lane which leads to a courtyard beside the house and stables. Staff Flat There is useful flat above the stables comprising a living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and a balcony Moreton Manor Stud Until recently the property has been run as a stud and boasts an excellent range of equestrian facilities including stables consisting of eight loose boxes and two foaling boxes, tack and feed rooms, a tractor store, and hay barn. There are ten fenced paddocks (six with water) and two nursery paddocks. From the property there is direct access onto a bridlepath. Location The Manor House is situated on the edge of the village of South Moreton which is situated in open countryside between Wallingford and Blewbury. There is a good range of shops and services in the nearby towns of Didcot and Wallingford and good access to the centres of Oxford, Reading and Newbury.

  • Parish Magazine
    St Andrew’s Hagbourne PARISH MAGAZINE ALTERNATIVE ISSUE – NOVEMBER 2020 Thank you very much to the Parish Councils for giving the Parish Magazine a temporary home on their websites until we are able to safely go back to producing and distributing a printed copy. www.easthagbourne.net www.westhagbourne.org ST ANDREW’S HAGBOURNE PARISH MAGAZINE page 1 NOVEMBER 2020 ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, HAGBOURNE The United Benefice of Blewbury, East and West Hagbourne and Upton together with Aston Tirrold, Aston Upthorpe, North Moreton and South Moreton. __________________________________________________________________________ Rector’s Reflections A Nation Remembers On the 26th April 1923, a young bride laid her bouquet on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as a tribute to her brother Fergus, who had died in the Battle of Loos. Perhaps you have seen the tomb when visiting Westminster Abbey. The bride in question was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and her husband was the Duke of York, later King George VI. Many years later, before her own death, Elizabeth expressed the wish that her wreath be placed on the same tomb, on the day after her death. And this is indeed what happened, her daughter Queen Elizabeth II laying the wreath herself. At this time of year, many of us will be gathering around war memorials to remember all who have given their lives for this country in war, especially in the First and Second World Wars. Some will be able to attend an act of remembrance in person; others will be attending virtually. But whether the act of the remembrance is made in person or virtually, it will be made.

PLANNING AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT Report by the Assistant Chief Executive & Solicitor to the Council and Director of Environmental Services (PL7). The Human Rights Act 1998, which came into force on 2 October 2000, incorporates into domestic law the provision of the European Convention of Human Rights. Of the three rights that are of particular significance in the planning arena Article 6 is likely to present the greatest challenge for national and local government. It seems advisable for planning authorities to take all reasonable steps to ensure that objectors are given a reasonable opportunity to comment on points raised by the authority and developers, and also to give full reasons for granting planning consents to establish that the consideration represented a fair hearing. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to agree the procedures as set out in paragraphs 10 – 12 of the report.

  • Oxfordshire's Public Rights of Way Network – Assessment of Connectivity
    Appendix E Oxfordshire’s public rights of way network – assessment of connectivity As part of work to achieve the aims of the first Oxfordshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan, the public rights of way network was assessed using a Geographical Information System (GIS) by Exegesis Spatial Data Management Ltd. This has enabled the production of graphics and tables to show the relative connectivity at the settlement level and for each kilometre square across the county. The graphics are colour coded for ease of reference and simple comparison. Shades of green are areas better connected, whilst areas shaded red are more poorly served. Tables accompany the graphics and include the mean average connected network in each of the settlement size categories. The connectivity study was not able to take account of the other access resources that are available to the public, including access land, neighbouring counties’ rights of way networks, the minor and unsurfaced road network, cycletracks, permissive paths under stewardship agreements, nature reserves, Woodland Trust and National Trust accessible land, and areas made available under Inheritance Tax exemptions -so these should be considered as part of any detailed assessments. In addition, the public rights of way network has been assessed for its ‘disjunctions’ – points where public rights of way meet roads and other barriers – and where there is not a close connection on the opposite side of that road. Some of these match with suggestions submitted as part of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan production. The study is not definitive and there may be other disjointed routes that are not indicated or indicated in error.
