West Oxford Estate Histories and Sources

The survey has been compiled fTom a number of key sources relating to the main estates in the area (see also following bibliography for abbreviations). 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 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 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

'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. Badcock: This is a series of estale maps and schedules of Christ Church holdings in 1829, in the Christ Church archives. It is reproduced in a reduced form allhe end of CO ii.

H IGII S 1 REET S r THOMAS. ",ORTH SIDE There are almost no medieval deeds for the following properties. With the 1279 Hundred Rolls it is not clear which entries in Cooper correspond lO the tenements north of High Street, but the likeliest candidates are entrie:) 28 to 52. Cooper 35 is of particular interest, because it seems to describe the same tenement as Lincoln deed UOXF/2: 1265 Henry de Crokesford grants to William Kepeharm land in orth Oseney: desCl;bed as once of Philip r. 1. S)'pman it is between Luke r. Alan and l. de la Stappe (marbe = Scappe in Cooper 36?). -I he north side of High Street was considered to be in North Oseney. but this is weak evidence: the tenement might as well be in Hylhe Bridge Street. At any rate, with the lack of medieval records for any tenements between Hollybush Row and Knowles' Bridge on the north of the street, we have not attempted to add H lind red Rolls descriptions to the following records. The post-rnedieval title deeds of the following properties ha\e also been hard to trace despite (and because of) their recent acquisition by property companies for the successive rebuilding of High Street St Thomas. Accordingly a collation of the 1772 survey and photographs prior to the 'slum clearance' is the mOSl lhat is possible at present in most cases.
