  • The Palladian Way – 2016

    The Palladian Way – 2016

    THE PALLADIAN WAY – 2016 The Palladian Way owes the title of ‘architectural trail’ to a style of building design developed by Andre Palladio in 16th Century Italy. This borrowed heavily from classical Roman precedents and was in turn copied and developed by such luminaries as Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren, John Vanburgh and William Kent, each adding their own refinements. At the heart of Palladio’s design for private villas was symmetry. Key features were wide front steps leading up to a large central area behind classical pillars supporting a pediment with a low triangular gable above. Broad house walls gave widespread views from all sides over formal gardens. Overall the size would reflect a cube shape or one governed by a mathematical formula where the width and height could be divided exactly by 6. To this could be added circular staircases, imposing estate rooms and a dome or cupola such as that later to top Wren’s St Paul’s. So a key feature of the walk was to see how far this Palladian style still graced the large buildings on the route, just as those buildings largely dictated the key destinations on the way. Stage 1 – Buckingham to Woodstock - Wednesday – Friday 23 – 25 February 2016 Penny, Hazel, Chas, David It’s late February; picture blue skies, a light breeze and almost wall to wall sunshine. You’d be imagining somewhere far away from England. Throw in deep overnight frost with several degrees minus and you might start to wonder. But Bucks, Northants and Oxon would probably still not spring to mind.

This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.

  • Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire

    Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire

    Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire By Joseph O’Connell A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Retha Warnicke, Chair Richard Burg Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2013 ABSTRACT “Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire” investigates how the inhabitants of Oxfordshire transitioned from an agricultural to a consumer community during the Jacobean and post- Restoration eras. In agrarian England, this reconfigured landscape was most clearly embodied in the struggle over the enclosure of common land. Focusing on the yeoman’s understanding of the fiscal benefits of enclosure and land acquisition, I argue that the growth in grain markets within Oxfordshire led to a newfound prosperity, which was most clearly articulated in the yeoman’s rise as a viable and discernible luxury goods consumer. Accordingly, my project draws attention to the yeoman’s relevance and leadership in this role, which not only observes their elevation and advancement within the English class structure, but it also views the expansion of luxury consumption and the impact of the developing market economy on the English rural household. By juxtaposing probate documents, inventories, pamphlets, and diaries from the market towns of Burford, Chipping Norton, and Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, this study examines the process by which these late sixteenth and early seventeenth century communities began to embrace the consumption of luxury goods, and, most importantly, purely market-based understanding of agrarian life. i Note The year has been taken as beginning on 1 January and a double year is used (ex: 1660/61) in the text where appropriate.

A watching brief was carried out on the reconstruction of St. Swithin’s farmhouse and the construction of a golf course. The area had been previously identified as the site of a medieval chapel and moated farmhouse. The moat was identified: it had been filled with domestic rubbish within the last 150 years and badly damaged by successive construction work. J.G.P. Erskine, AAU Hollywood Tower, ST 57508150.

It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space. Typical Infrastructure Types West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 1 1.3 New development often puts existing infrastructure under pressure, creating a need for new or improved facilities to be provided. A good example would be a new housing development proposed where the nearest school is already full.
