  • Excursion to Oxford
    338 EXOURSION TO OXFORD. WHIT-MONDAY, MAY 17TH, AND FOLLOWING DAY. Directors-Prof. PRESTWICH, M.A., F.R.S., F.G.S., &c., and JAMES PARKER, Eflq., M.A., F.G.S. (Repo,·t by W. H. HUDLESTON, Esq., M.A., F.G.S.) The party were received by the Directors about noon, when Prof. Prestwich commenced a demonstration of the palreontological collection inl the University Museum, directing attention more especially to the fossils from the neighbourhood. Amongst the Portland fossils are some very fine specimens of Ammonites pectinatus, a new species figured but not described by Phillips in the Geology of Oxford. In the Kimmeridge Olay of the neighbourhood Rhynchvnella inconstansoccurs sparingly towards the base, and Exogyra virgula is tolerably common, but Ostrea deltoidea is reported to be scarce. A somewhat unexpected cir­ cumstance is the occurrence of Rynch. inconstans, in what appears to be a Corallian matrix from the neighbourhood of Marcham. The Oxford Museum is especially rich in the remains of the vertebrates from the various Oolitic beds of the neighbourhood, ranging from the small mammals of the Stonesfield Slate to the huge femur of the Cetiosaurus from Kirklington (the magnum bonum of Prof. Phillips).* The Professor alluded also to the recent discovery in the Kimmeridge Clay of Iguanodon Prestwich ii, a new species of that peculiar genus of Dinosaurs, which had not previously been discovered in strata older than the Wealden. After enjoying the hospitality of the Directors, the party pro­ ceeded eastwards in the direction of Shotover, under their guidance. Mr. Parker had provided for the use of the Members a very useful octavo tract, containing a map and sections of the strata south of Oxford, with explanatory text.

  • Charney Bassett Water Mill
    Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series Charney Bassett Water Mill by Daphne Jones Charney Bassett being one of the villages on the River Ock has had a watermill since the 12th century, but apart from a mention in the 16th century, little is known of its past history. For some time the Manor had been part of the Pusey Estates which, on being sold in 1909 to Berkshire County Council, was divided into smallholdings, the Mill with its attached cottage and land being one. The present building on the site near the church dates from the 19th century but the Mill has not been used since about 1915. Charney Bassett - c1890 - The Mill, view of rear, with mill pond, 4 adults 1 child. (v-cha003) The building deteriorated over the years, but the machinery remained intact, with the exception of the Breastshot waterwheel which most likely went for scrap. In 1974 Oxfordshire County Council took over the administration of the Estates and was interested in restoring the Mill as a Museum. A survey was done, money allocated and essential repairs carried out including treatment for woodworm. With the Council cutbacks late in 1976 the money was withdrawn and it looked as if the Mill would have to wait for its restoration. 1 In 1975 the then Wantage Industrial Archaeology Group (now Vale of White Horse I.A.G.) was started following an Evening Class course. We meet once a month having a varied programme of speakers, films, members’ evenings and outings. There is much to interest us in local industries and associated subjects in an essentially agricultural area.

  • Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report September 2020 Page 2 of 39
    Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report September 2020 Introduction The parish of Cumnor sits on a Corallian Limestone Ridge in the north of the Vale of the White Horse District Council (VoWHDC) administrative area. With an elevation range across the parish of more than 100m there are many Important Views within the parish, in addition to commanding views into and from the parish. The VoWHDC’s Landscape Character Assessment1, Section 3.6, states: ‘To the north of the central Vale there is a broad east-west ridge of Corallian Limestone, often referred to as the ‘Mid Vale Ridge’. The northern edge of the ridge is marked by prominent, relatively steep, slopes. To the south, the ridge descends more gently, until it merges with the low-lying Vale centred on the River Ock. To the east, the ridge incorporates Boars Hill and Cumnor Hill to the west of Oxford’. It goes on to say in para 3.7: ‘the ridge forms a distinctive, often wooded, horizon in views north from the central Vale. The wooded backdrop is provided by the small blocks of woodland which pepper the ridge, as well as some extensive tracts of ancient woodland, particularly in the east of the District…including Wytham Great Wood. Among the key positive landscape features of the Wooded Corallian Landscape Ridge are the: ‘distant views out from the ridge, from elevated locations and the edges of woodland, including history views of the ‘dreaming spires’ to the east.” It goes on to say that this ridge “provides a rural wooded backdrop and treed skyline in views from the low-lying Vale to the south, in views from the River Thames, and views west from Oxford.’ The Landscape Strategy ‘for the Corallian Limestone Ridge with Woodland’ is to: ‘conserve the woodlands, hedges and riparian vegetation which give the ridge its treed character, protect remaining semi-natural habitats and resist further urbanising sprawl of low-density development”.
