The Park is owned by Worton Estate and lies just outside the village of Cassington, west Oxfordshire. Worton Park comprises a small business park and a working farm - Worton Farm. There are two grade II listed buildings within the complex: Rectory Farmhouse (nearest to the ap- plication site), and The Old Rectory, slightly further west. The application site does not fall within the setting of any other listed buildings and the Cottage itself is not listed. The site is not within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or Conserva- tion Area but it is located within the Oxford Green Belt.

The farm is organic and registered with the Soil Association and has had a responsible approach to diversification over the years including sensitive barn con- versions, the development of a combined heat and power plant for heating the farm buildings and the establishment of a reed bed system for treating foul effluent prior to discharge into The Cottage location, flanked by the nearby listed buildings (starred) the local water course. The business park is a farm diversifi- cation project that provides a reliable income stream into the business to help balance the variable and less reliable income streams associated with organic farming. The business park is situated within a cluster of buildings rang- ing from very traditional and historic farm buildings to newer extensions and stand-alone barns that have been erected in more recent years as the site has evolved. Two large areas of car parking exist within the business park for employees, oc- cupiers and visitors to the various units. There is a surplus of OS 1900 edition parking within the two on-site car parks. The manor of Worton is referenced in the Domesday Book re- cords as far back as 1086. In the 1500’s Christ Church College Oxford took ownership until such time that it sold it’s land in Worton in the 1950’s. The key historic buildings appeared at Worton in the 1600’s, extending and evolving through the fol- lowing centuries. The historic OS maps show the evolution of the complex of buildings at Worton during the course of the first half of the twentieth century. OS 1911 map revised 1938 Cottage extension & refurbishment, Worton Park, Cassington, Oxfordshire OX29 4SX PAGE 3 Clearly the complex of buildings has a long history as an es- tablished settlement/hamlet. The Cottage can be seen as an established building on the 1900 edition of the OS map. At that time the access track running along the northern bound- ary of the plot on which the cottage sits, defined the original northern extent of the historic complex. Since that time, sev- eral additional buildings have appeared to break the original defined northern extent of the historic complex, including the substantial large scale barns and horse arena further north OS 1960 map which are located on the north side of the track (now the main access road into the park). Extract from aerial view showing development north of the main access road Cottage extension & refurbishment, Worton Park, Cassington, Oxfordshire OX29 4SX PAGE 4 2.1 The Cottage Site & Context The Cottage is a semi-detached property comprising ‘Midways’ to the south and ‘The Cottage’ to the north. The building sits on the south-western boundary of its site adjacent to the ‘Corner Cottage’ plot. Both cottages have generous garden plots to the east. The Cottage is a two-storey structure of half stone and half blockwork construction covered with render. It has a pitched, gabled roof of plain concrete tiles. There is a double-bay ga- rage just to the north of the Cottage along with two timber sheds, all of these out-buildings are in a state of dilapidation with collapsed roofs. The garden comprises gravel hardstand- Location Plan ing immediately to the north, providing access to the garage and sheds, a large area of lawn directly to the east with ruderal vegetation further north to the east of the sheds. Site bound- aries are demarcated by stone walls to the south-west, north- west and north-east with the close-boarded timber fence to the south-east. The Cottage - north-east elevation Cottage extension & refurbishment, Worton Park, Cassington, Oxfordshire OX29 4SX PAGE 5 Internally the cottage comprises 4 bedrooms, two are very small, one of which would struggle to accommodate a single bed due to a large chimney place rising through the room along with one of the internal walls intruding as it dog-legs around the stair. The ground floor comprises a lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom and separate WC. There is a half-glazed lean to conservatory which shelters the front door - this is a later ad- dition and a small cupboard (accessed externally) housing the boiler. The internal spaces are awkward and do not flow well together. The entrance is semi-concealed within the half-glazed con- servatory, once inside you are led between the bathroom and the WC straight into the kitchen/diner. Crossing this room you have to make a dog-leg turn to access the lounge. The stairs to the first floor are on the other side of the kitchen - so from the lounge you have to traverse back through the kitchen again The Cottage: Ground & First floor plans to reach them. In addition, due partly to the small windows and the utilitarian layout whereby services mostly hog the ex- ternal walls and coupled with the low ceilings, the internal spaces suffer from being dark, oppressive and cut-off from the garden. The long flank wall, adjacent to the Corner Garden plot, suffers from damp due to the higher ground level behind the wall and no effective damp proof measures. As the property deteriorated, further leaks to the roof led Wor- ton Estate to re-home the incumbent tenants into more suit- able accommodation.

  • Excavations at Vicarage Field, Stanton Harcourt, 1951
    Excavations at Vicarage Field, Stanton Harcourt, 1951 WITH AN ApPENDIX ON SECONDARY NEOLITmC WARES IN THE OXFORD REGION By NICHOLAS THOMAS THE SITE ICARAGE Field (FIG. I) lies less than half a mile from the centre of V Stanton Harcourt village, on the road westward to Beard Mill. It is situated on one of the gravel terraces of the upper Thames. A little to the west the river Windrush flows gently southwards to meet the Thames below Standlake. About four miles north-east another tributary, the Evenlode, runs into the Thames wlllch itself curves north, about Northmoor, past Stanton Harcourt and Eynsham to meet it. The land between this loop of the Thames and the smaller channels of the Windrush and Evenlode is flat and low-lying; but the gravel subsoil allows excellent drainage so that in early times, whatever their culture or occupation, people were encouraged to settle there.' Vicarage Field and the triangular field south of the road from Stanton Harcourt to Beard Mill enclose a large group of sites of different periods. The latter field was destroyed in 1944-45, after Mr. D. N. Riley had examined the larger ring-ditch in it and Mr. R. J. C. Atkinson the smaller.' Gravel-working also began in Vicarage Field in 1944, at which time Mrs. A. Williams was able to examine part of the area that was threatened. During September, 1951,' it became necessary to restart excavations in Vicarage Field when the gravel-pit of Messrs. Ivor Partridge & Sons (Beg­ broke) Ltd. was suddenly extended westward, involving a further two acres of ground.

  • Beakers of the Upper Thames District
    Beakers of the Upper Thames District by E. T. LEEDS N his review of British beakers in the first of his two volumes on Bronze Age Pottery Lord Abercromby cited seven examples from the Oxford district, I obviously not a very substantial foundation upon which to build up theories about their origins or their relationship to neighbouring groups: all the less so, because, as his maps show, the Oxford group stands divided from the other main groups in every direction by considerable intervals, whether in North­ amptonshire, Cambridgeshire, or even the Lower Thames Valley and Wiltshire. Nevertheless any beakers found round Oxford must from their centrality derive from one or other direction, and actually Lord Abercromby detected in most of them secondary phases of the two main classes A and B, classes which still hold good for general purposes of differentiation. As is well known, Lord Abercromby placed the starting-point of the diffu­ sion of beaker-pottery in England in the south, particularly in Wiltshire, and traced its spread in a northerly and north-easterly direction. Since that time (1912), however, many doubts have been expressed about the correctness of Lord Abercromby's deductions,' and the belief that the chief point of arrival of a part at least of the invaders was by the east coast has gradually asserted itself.2 The scarcity of material from the Oxford district was explained by Lord Abercromby as being due to the inhospitable nature of much of the country (forest, marsh, clay, etc.) which deterred man from settling on it,' but, if any justification were needed for the more intensive research of recent years into the prehistoric archaeology of the district, it lies in the possibility of removing the false impression which he was led to present about conditions in the Upper Thames Valley in the Early Bronze Age.
