  • Eynsham Community Safety
    Eynsham Parish Plan 2007-08 51 COMMUNITY SAFETY 51.1 The Facts 51.1.1 “West Oxfordshire has a crime rate per thousand population of 49.4, well below the national figure of 112.6 and approximately half the Thames Valley average 99.6.”1 51.1.2 West Oxfordshire is also the safest place in Oxfordshire; and Eynsham is safer than Burford, Chipping Norton or Witney. Nevertheless, its rate of 60.66 per thousand is above average for the district and significantly higher than Bampton, Carterton, Charlbury and Woodstock. Towns and villages near the A40 are especially vulnerable to vehicle-related crime. 51.1.3 In the period covered by the Audit (April 2001-March 2004), criminal damage and violent crime were the most commonly recorded incidents across the district as a whole. Eynsham saw its share of criminal damage – especially to vehicles – but happily rather less of violent crime: “Violent crime victims and offenders ... (were) mainly males between 18 – 25 with offences peaking after pub closing hours ... The offenders (were) predominantly local people assaulting local victims.” 51.1.4 For Eynsham theft was the commonest crime, especially drive by theft from the garages on the A40. As the chart shows, the total number of recorded incidents rose dramatically in 2004/5. The rise is probably too great to be accounted for by lower tolerance or higher reporting and may have coincided with the arrival of a new Tesco Express outlet on the A40 east-bound. 51.1.5 However, recorded incidents fell by 19% between 2004/5 and 2005/62; and while the latest report (April 2007) shows a 3% rise (371 incidents) criminal damage was down a dramatic 23%, from 110 to 85 cases.

  • The Medieval Rural Landscape, C AD 1000–1500 by James Bond
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014).
