  • The Medieval Rural Landscape, C AD 1000–1500 by James Bond
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014).

  • West Oxfordshire District Council Representation of the People Act
    West Oxfordshire District Council Representation of the People Act 1983 – Section 18(C) – Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2019 Representations of the Acting Returning Officer for the Parliamentary Constituency of Witney NOTES: 1. A Polling District is a geographical sub-division of an electoral area, i.e. a UK Parliamentary Constituency, a European Parliamentary electoral region, a ward of an electoral division. In England each parish is to be a separate polling district. Where a Town/Parish council is split into Wards, Polling Districts are situated within the Ward. The District Council is responsible for designating Polling Districts. 2. A Polling Place is the building or area in which polling stations will be located. The Polling Place for a Polling District must be in an area of that district except where special circumstances make it desirable to designate an area outside that district. The Polling Place must constitute a small enough area so that electors will not have difficulty finding the polling station. Although there is no legal definition of what a polling place is and the Act states that where no polling place is designated the polling district becomes the polling place, the Electoral Commission recommends that Polling Places always be defined and for that reason it is recommended that the previous policy of designating the polling district as the polling place is changed and the polling places have therefore been designated in the table below in line with the Electoral Commission recommendation. The District Council is responsible for designating Polling Places. 3. A Polling Station is the actual area where the process of voting takes place, and must be located within the Polling Place designated for the particular Polling District.
