  • A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A
    A brief history of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and why their plant communities changed over the last 90 years A. W McDonald Summary A multidisciplinary approach to landscape history enabled the examination of botanical, hydrological and agricultural data spanning some 4,000 years. The results showed Bronze Age humans affecting the vegetation by pasturing cattle on the floodplain extending from Yarnton to Oxford. In the Iron Age pastoralists were over-grazing Port Meadow and, between the sixth and ninth centuries, part of the floodplain was set aside for a hay crop whilst the aftermath or second grass crop continued to be shared as pasture. By Domesday floodplain meads were the most expensive land recorded in this survey and Port Meadow was established as common land belonging to Oxford. Having discussed the soil and water conditions on the floodplain and its potential effect on the plant communities, the management history of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common is followed by that of Picksey Mead. Finally, the plant communities are discussed. Those established in 1981/2 are compared with data sets for the early 1920s and for 1996-2006. Changes in the species composition between sites are due to different management regimes and those over time and within sites are attributed to changes in the water-table. Introduction The Oxford grassland comprises common pasture and mead situated on alluvium over limestone gravel. It is unusual for its four thousand years of management history and evidence for the effect this has had on the vegetation. Sited in the upper Thames valley, within three miles of Oxford City centre, Port Meadow (325 acres/132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (75 acres/30.4 ha) (Figure 1 and Figure 2) are known locally as the Meadow, even though they are pasture1.

I have moved it here. THE THAMES ABOVE OXFORD. BY THE EDITOR. OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.

  • The Thames: from Oxford to Its Source by Paul Blake
    Boy’s Own Paper April 21st, 1883 & 4 next issues THE THAMES: FROM OXFORD TO ITS SOURCE BY PAUL BLAKE THE THAMES: FROM OXFORD TO ITS SOURCE BY PAUL BLAKE Author of “A Week on the Thames”, etc. CHAPTER 1 Some of you will, I hope, remember that, in 1881, we, in fancy, travelled down the Thames together from Oxford to Richmond. I hope that not a few have made the journey in fact since then, and found that I did not exaggerate the beauties of our river or the pleasures to be derived from boating on it. But now we are to take a far different journey – from Oxford to the source – new ground (or water), I expect, to nearly all of you, for not one boatman knows Eynsham or Lechlade for a thousand who are well acquainted with Medmenham or Marlow. Let us suppose ourselves to be one of a small party met on the lawn at a house in Streatham one evening in last July. We know all who are present; they are the crew of the Swan. There lolls Figgis, the tall captain; that small fellow who is sitting just out of the captain’s reach and flipping cherry-stones at him is Budd, the irrepressible; Charlton and Martin are standing near, having just finished a match at tennis. “Now you fellows”, begins Budd, “it’s time we came to a decision of some sort. This is a regular meeting. I’ll be in the chair, as I’m the only one who has taken one.

  • Rowers' Guide to the Thames 1 Thames Tour What to See When
    Thames Tour What to see when rowing the Thames Christopher Dodd This guide was written for an International Rowing Federation (FISA) seven-day rowing tour of the Thames in 2003, starting in Godstow near Oxford and progressing downstream to Putney in London. It uses the terms ‘port’ and ‘starboard’ to describe the location of sights. As seen from the cox’s seat, ‘port’ (stroke side) is to the left of boat, ‘starboard’ (bow side) is to the right - in the direction in which the boat and the stream are moving. The River Thames, also called the Isis in the Oxford area, is important for several reasons. For centuries it was a great trading route, connecting the Thames Valley and, through the canal system, the west and midlands of England with the great port of London. It is a great source of drinking water for London, and as railways shut down transport by water, they opened the Thames Valley to Londoners for enjoyment and recreation. The modern sport of rowing was born on the Thames, and it remains a world centre. The guide was updated in 2013. Please contribute comments and corrections HERE. © Christopher Dodd Seven days from Oxford to London DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden (27 km, 6 locks) DAY 2 - Clifton Hampden to Pangbourne (29 km, 4 locks) DAY 3 - Pangbourne to Henley (24 km, 6 locks) DAY 4 - Henley to Maidenhead (25 km, 6 locks) DAY 5 - Maidenhead to Staines (24 km, 5 locks) DAY 6 - Staines to Teddington (28 km, 6 locks) DAY 7 - Teddington to Putney (15 km) Rowers’ guide to the Thames 1 DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden, 27 km, 6 locks The tour starts at St Edward’s school boathouse, close to Godstow lock beside the remains of Godstow Abbey.

  • Replacement of Godstow Trout Weir October 2020 Date>
    Replacement of Godstow Trout Weir October 2020 Date> What’s happening? We are replacing the weir on the River Thames, located next to the Trout Inn at Godstow, in Oxfordshire. We will remove the old weir structure and build a new weir, two metres downstream. This will allow for better debris clearance. For the last year we have been working on the detailed design of the new weir and applying for funding. The weir will look largely the same, as we will be using the same design of gates. There will be an additional structure to the left (looking upstream) which will allow fish and eels to make their way up river. This clip explains what a fish pass is: Figure 1. The current weir next to the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2gKfTW9q0A Trout Inn This has been a complex project due to the number of heritage and landscape considerations at the site. We have had to liaise with multiple agencies to gain permission for these works. If funding is awarded, we aim to start construction of the new weir in May 2021. How we will complete the works? We have taken the decision to construction the new weir through the spring and summer of 2021. This is because autumn and winter are more likely to see higher water levels. The weir will take around 30 weeks to build. To construct the new weir, we will create a dry working area, by installing stand-alone temporary dams as well as using the old weir to hold back the river.

  • The River Thames
    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 River Thames 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 River Thames By James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley INTRODUCTION By AD 1000, the Thames was largely established along its modern course (Fig. 1). The character of the river and its immediate environs has been studied as part of numerous archaeological investigations in the valley (Booth et al . 2007; Lambrick et al . 2009; Morigi et al . 2011). By the time of Domesday Book, extensive areas along the river banks were cultivated as hay meadow, and detailed local archaeological studies suggest that this could have begun as early as the 8th or 9th century (eg Booth et al . 2007, 331–6). In places, earlier channels silted up as the alluvium left behind by seasonal floods heightened, extending old river islands and creating new ones. There is abundant evidence for human intervention in these processes from the late Saxon period onwards, with the dumping of soil and refuse at the water-edge to raise the ground level, infill unwanted channels and extend habitable land. The cutting and stabilisation of these channels provided water for milling, industrial processes and navigation. Between AD 1000 and 2000, the Thames provided a wide range of resources to local inhabitants. It was an indispensable source of water for brewing, washing, irrigation and industry; it was the chief drain and sewer of the region, carrying away human and industrial waste; it provided power for mills; it was a source of fish and wildfowl, and of reeds, rushes and willow for flooring and wickerwork; and, it was a highway for transport between the west, the midlands and the port and capital city of London.
