  • Total Carbon Footprint Per Capita
    District Data Analysis Service August 2021 Chart of the month August 2021 – Total carbon footprint per capita This month’s chart looks at the carbon footprint per person based on seven underlying sources of emissions data: Electricity, Gas, Other Heating, Car Driving, Van Driving, Flights, and Consumption of goods and services. This is particularly interesting given the current worldwide environmental crisis. This data has been obtained from the place-based carbon calculator produced with funding from UK Research and Innovation through the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions. The areas in the maps are displayed at Lower-layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level. This dataset has been made available in July 2021. For more information, please visit the Place-Based Carbon calculator. Key findings: Overall, all the districts in Oxfordshire scored above the England overall carbon footprint of 8,355 Kg CO2 per capita, where highest means worst and lowest means best. Areas with the highest scores in the districts were Flights, Cars, Food & Drink, and Recreation. The following chart shows the amount of Kg CO2 for every source in England compared to the districts in Oxfordshire. The dashed line (---) across the chart shows the England target for 2032 (2,849). Figure 1. Sources of Kg CO2 per capita in England and the districts, 2021 Source: Place-Based Carbon Calculator, 2021 District Data Analysis Service August 2021 Figure 2.

    1st July, 2008 Issue 21 Oxfordshire Record Office, St Luke’s Church, Temple Road, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 2HT. Telephone 01865 398200. Email [email protected]: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS THE SMITHY AT FRINGFORD Page 1 SEE PAGES 2 and 3 - for ‘Observations’ 1st July, 2008 Issue 21 LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS Anyone watching the recent BBC adaptations of FloraThompson’s Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy will be aware that, although filmed elsewhere, the novels are set in the north-east corner of Oxfordshire with Lark Rise representing Juniper Hill and Candleford supposedly an amalgam of Banbury, Bicester, Brackley and Buckingham. Flora Thompson (nee Timms) lived at End House in Juniper Hill, a hamlet of Cottisford where she attended the local Board school and church on Sundays. Her job in the post office was at Fringford (about 4-5 miles away). In the novels Flora called herself Laura and in the TV series her parents are called Robert and Emma Timmins. In real life her family name was Timms and her parents were called Albert and Emma. The End House where they lived in Juniper Hill can still be seen today (part of a modern dwelling) and its location can be seen on an OS map, c1900. The Cottisford parish registers reveal that 10 children of Albert and Emma were baptized in the church, starting with Martha on 13th Nov 1875 and ending with Cecil Barrie on 6th Mar 1898 (over 20 years, by which time Emma was in her mid-40s). Four of the children, including Martha, Albert (born 1882), Ellen Mary (born 1893) and Cecil Barrie (buried 4th Apr 1900) died in infancy.

  • Where Was Banbury Cross?
    Where was Banbury Cross? By P. D. A. HARVEY HERE is nothing for which Banbury is more famous than for its Cross, and it is strange that it should still be possible to question the conclusions ofT any of the town's historians as to where this Cross stood. But between them there is agreement only that the town's principal cross or crosses had been destroyed by its inhabitants' puritan zeal in the early 17th century, so that Richard Corbet, writing between 1618 and 1621, saw only their bases , like old stumps of Trees'.' By the time historians tried to identify the site of the cross commemorated in one famous and several lesser nursery rbymes' all traces had vanished, so that written records formed the only evidence. The first to attempt the task was Alfred Beesley, whose History of Banbury was completed in I 84l.J He placed 'the principal Cross at Banbury ' unequivocally in the Horse Fair, but added that there were other crosses within the borough and mentions references to the 'Highe Crosse', the , Market Cross " the' Bread Cross ' and' the White Cross without Sugarford Bar'. In a footnote he identified the 17th-century Breadcross Street with the western part of High Street and suggested that the Bread Cross stood near its west end, concluding' It is quite possible that this was the same with the .. Banbury Cross" first mentioned'.. One result of Beesley'S argument was the location of the present cross, built in the Horse Fair in 1859.5 Another was an incident related by George Herbert in bis reminis­ cences of Banbury: when trees were being planted in the Horse Fair in 1885 the street's oldest inhabitant asked to be allowed to plant the one at the corner (presumably of Horse Fair and High Street), explaining 'I have always thought that was where the original Cross stood ' .6 A grant from the Univenity of Southampton towards the publication of thU paper is gratefully acknowledged.
