C ity Property: Mainly wasle land round casLie and I-jvcr, deriving as manorial waste from the LOwn's assumption of royal lordship in 1199. Mu(h of II i, fully described in OCI' except fOl properties with no medieval histol"Y. Mary Prior added the Fisher Row pan as an appendix to hel important study Fisher Row. O seoeylChrist Church (Tbe D'Oilly Fee): I he extensive holdings of Oseney Abbey in South Osency passed to Christ Church. The medieval deeds, I"entals and post-medieval surveys have mostly been published in CO, though there are other estate papers and maps in Christ Church Archives. Rewley/Dutlon (The D'Ivri Fee): I he holdings of Rewley Abbey In orth Oseney passed to the Dutton family of Glou<cstershire, see W(S4) below. onh Oseney, a, defined by CO ii. 534, was on the north s.de of Iligh Street St Thomas, and while Rewley's property is relatively poorly documented, it does seem thm the Osency propel'lies (in Duth Oseney) were mostly on the south side of the streel. Although the island was well watered with roadside canals (see Loggan's map) there were not othen,,'ise clearly defined islands of Nonh and South Oseney. Godstow: The e'lI"tulary, in the PRO (Exchequer KR Misc. Books i 20), has never been published. An English translation was published in GodsLOw. Sandford: See Salter's inll"ociuction to Sandford. St Joho's College: As might be expected, St John'S college holds much material on the eady history of north Oxford, which has nOl yet been exploited beyond the indicalions in EHSJ. The earlier lllunimenlS are deeds of Godstow. T h e H u n dred Rolls of 1279: FOI an account of this remarkable survey, so important for a handful of towns including Oxford and Cambridge, see now Sandra Raban, A Steorul D(JTTII!stiayr TI~ Hundred Rolls of 1279-80 (200-1). The publication details of the Hundred Rolls for Oxford are not straighlforward. -n,e rolls themselves survive in the Public Record Office (SC 510xford, -rowe. eries 18). The Record Commission volumes (RoluiJ Hundrtdorum (l8IS), ii, 788-805) contain the rolls for the [OU I' wards of Oxford and, separately. rolls that include references to suburbs such as orth Gate Huncll·cd. These were reproduced in R. Graham , 'Description of Oxford from the Ilundred Rolls' in Collec/anea IV (OHS xlvii, 1905), 1-98, number'cd and sorted by parish. Graham arranged the entries by parish but ~Issigned numbers based on sequence in the original roll. Ilel numbers are useful because the pages of the Commission volumes are large; it should he noted however that her numbering goes straight from 509 to 600 and that she omitted an entry between 705 and 706. Subsequently the unpublished remainder of the roll for North West ward was found to contain suney entries by and large for St Thomas parish; this was published with useful notes in J. Coopel', Published in Oxoniensia 2006, (c) Oxfordshire Architectural and Historical Society SUR\- tV OF WEST OXFORD HJ:i 'The Hundred Rolls for the Parish of St Thomas, Oxford' in Oxoniensla, xxxvii (1972), 165-176. It should be noted thal the litle is not entirely accurale. for the Hundred Roll survey for Oxford was not arranged by parish; the part of Sl Thomas lO the sOUlh of High Slreel is omiued. and a few entries lhere are in the roll for south west ward of the City. and the final enlries on Cooper's roll concern Binsey and Godstow. \Ve refer to enlries from lhe St TIlOmas' roll as Cooper 123 and lO entries from the olher rolls as HR 456 where 456 is the number assigned by Graham. The Survey of 1772: This is published in ST This survey for the paving commissioners involved the measurement of the frontage of each property. When an entry is daled 1772 and gives a width il may be assumed that it comes from ST.

It is hoped to publish two articles­ one on a town house and one on a country houst-in each number if Oxoniensia. -Editor. I. FISHER ROW, OXFORD By W. A. PAN"IlN FISHER Row consisted of a row of cottages which stood on a long narrow bank or strip of land running from Hythe Bridge on the north to QUaking Bridge and Castle Millon the south; this bank was bounded on the east by the main stream or mill stream and on the west by a back stream, and its purpose was no doubt to divert the stream to feed the Castle Mill at the southern end; it was at first known by the medieval Latin name of wara (meaning a weir or defence), hence the later name '\Tarham Bank. About half-way down the bank is divided into two halves, north and south, by a sluice which is a short distance south of the modern bridge joining the ew Road to Park End Street.' The tenements south of this sluice were acquired by Oseney Abbey at various dates between about 1240 and 1469; after the Dissolution these passed to Christ Church who also acquired the tenements north of the sluice. The Oseney rentals from c. 1277 show that the tenants included such people as fishermen, carpenters and tanners; similarly the Christ Church leases from c.

    Oxford Walk & Talk

    Oxford Walk & Talk Duration: 60-75 “River & Stream” mins Updated by Ros Weatherall & Liz Storrar, February 2013 Oxford was defined by its water courses long before the arrival of its University. This leisurely walk will take you along the Mill Stream Walk, following the stream which powered the city’s mill, returning alongside the modern navigable River Thames. The walk 1. From Bonn Square walk to your right, 50 metres towards New Road. Cross the road at the zebra crossing and walk downhill along Castle Street, with County Hall to your right. 2. Turn right at the Castle Tavern into Paradise Street, and follow it past Paradise Square to your left. Cross the bridge over the stream (the Castle Mill Stream) – see the Norman tower of the Castle to your right - turn immediately left (marked Woodin’s Way) and double back on yourself to walk along the Millstream Path with the stream on your left (passing the Europe Business Assembly building to your right). 3. Walk beside the stream and after crossing it turn right to continue on the path – the stream is now to your right, and housing to your left. Where the housing ends turn left and immediately right to pass through a passage beside the housing signed as 1-14 Abbey Place. This leads you to a car park adjoining what is now a building site, where construction of the extended Westgate Centre will begin at some point in the future. 4. Walk ahead across the car park (with a hoarding to your right) to the main road (Thames Street/Oxpens Road).

    The Golden Compass

    Inspector Morse in Oxfordshire Oxford has long been home to Morse author Colin Dexter and famously became the backdrop to his popular murder mystery novels. It is not surprising that when ITV came to shoot the 33 Morse films, Oxford and the surrounding county consistently made it on to the screen. Inspector Morse is best known for an appreciation of beer, Wagner compositions, crossword puzzles, and zipping around his beloved city of dreaming spires in a red Jaguar car, usually accompanied by his long- suffering sidekick Sergeant Lewis played by actor Kevin Whateley. Enjoy a taste of Oxfordshire as you wind your way around some unmistakeable county locations in pursuit of mystery, Morse and murder! 1. Sheep Street 33, Burford The picturesque medieval town of Burford (known as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds”) features in The Remorseful Day where John Barron falls to his death from a ladder. He is pushed by a hooded culprit while painting Mrs Bayley’s house. 2/3.Blenheim Palace & Combe sawmill gate. Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland the unique English Baroque architecture of Blenheim Palace is on view in The Way through the Woods. Morse drives up to Blenheim to investigate after George Daley’s body is discovered inside the Combe sawmill gate, to the west of the estate. Morse returns to Blenheim to interview a worker on the grounds. (Blenheim Palace & Gardens, Woodstock. Open: 10:30 - 5:30 daily Tel: 01993 810500.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

    Frideswide Square Is One of Oxford's Highest Profile

    Frideswide Square Frequently Asked Questions Why are you doing this work? Frideswide Square is one of Oxford’s highest profile public areas and is a vital link between major road routes into the city. Tens of thousands of car, bus, cycle and pedestrians pass through each day and the area is also the destination for thousands of rail passengers. The county council is tackling what has been seen as a perennial problem for travellers coming into the city – our work will see improved journey times, far better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and be part of a modern gateway for Oxford. We are investing in a better system for traffic and creating some excellent public space that is in keeping with nearby facilities such as the business school and future developments such as the revamped train station. The finished Fridewide Square will reflect the regeneration taking place in and around Oxford and the county as a whole. How much are you spending on this? £5.5million. This is a major investment into Oxford and just one of the pieces of work being done to ensure the city has the transport infrastructure to match its ambition to be a world class city. What does the work involve? There are two stages to the implementation of the project. The first stage of works, recently completed, involved reallocating parking from Becket Street to Osney Lane and St Thomas Street. There were also minor adjustments to the road layout at the junctions of Becket Street/Botley Road, Becket Street Osney Lane and Osney Lane/Hollybush Row.
