    . i n f o r m a l i t y PRESS RELEASE Adrian Houston ‘The Spirit of Nature’ Exhibition Dates: 9th July until 5th August Henley-on-Thames’ River & Rowing Museum and the Informality gallery, in conjunction with the initiative Action Oak, are delighted to announce a new exhibition of works by renowned British photographer, Adrian Houston. Entitled The Spirit of Nature, the retrospective will be held at Informality and will focus on Adrian’s most recent landscape photography which saw him capture the ethereal beauty of Henley’s bluebell woods. A percentage of each sale will be donated to the River & Rowing Museum and Action Oak, which is seeking to develop a coordinat- ed plan to identify and tackle issues threatening our native oak trees. Houston has a long-standing passion for trees, as witnessed by his on-going project, A Portrait of a Tree which seeks to both raise awareness about the need to preserve and protect trees from disease and human impact and illustrate how trees connect us all on a universal level. Four years in the making, the initiative has seen Adrian shoot the favourite trees of a diverse array of people, among them Sir Richard Branson, actress Goldie Hawn, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Kew Gardens Head of Arboretum Tony Kirkham. Not only is the magnificence and atmosphere of each specimen captured for posterity, the personal story that accompanies each tree makes the final result even more impactful. As Adrian reveals, his understanding of trees has been deepened still further through The Spirit of Nature.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Goring (July 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Landownership • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Goring Landownership In the mid-to-late Anglo-Saxon period Goring may have been the centre of a sizeable royal estate, parts of which became attached to the burh of Wallingford (Berks.) following its creation in the late 9th century.1 By 1086 there were three estates in the parish, of which two can be identified as the later Goring and Gatehampton manors.2 Goring priory (founded before 1135) accrued a separate landholding which became known as Goring Priory manor, while the smaller manors of Applehanger and Elvendon developed in the 13th century from freeholds in Goring manor’s upland part, Applehanger being eventually absorbed into Elvendon. Other medieval freeholds included Haw and Querns farms and various monastic properties. In the 17th century Goring Priory and Elvendon manors were absorbed into a large Hardwick estate based in neighbouring Whitchurch, and in the early 18th Henry Allnutt (d. 1725) gave Goring manor as an endowment for his new Goring Heath almshouse. Gatehampton manor, having belonged to the mostly resident Whistler family for almost 200 years, became attached c.1850 to an estate focused on Basildon Park (Berks.), until the latter was dispersed in 1929−30 and Gatehampton manor itself was broken up in 1943. The Hardwick estate, which in 1909 included 1,505 a. in Goring,3 was broken up in 1912, and landownership has since remained fragmented. Significant but more short-lived holdings were amassed by John Nicholls from the 1780s, by the Gardiners of Whitchurch from 1819, and by Thomas Fraser c.1820, the first two accumulations including the rectory farm and tithes.

CORPORATE Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal The terms of reference and Statement of Common Ground are being considered by a meeting of the joint scrutiny committee on 17 April.

  • Team Profile for the Appointment of a House for Duty Team Vicar to Serve the Villages of Ipsden and North Stoke Within the Langtree Team Ministry
    TEAM PROFILE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A HOUSE FOR DUTY TEAM VICAR TO SERVE THE VILLAGES OF IPSDEN AND NORTH STOKE WITHIN THE LANGTREE TEAM MINISTRY The Appointment The Bishop of Dorchester and the Team Rector are seeking to appoint a Team Vicar to serve two of the rural parishes which make up the Langtree Team Ministry. The Langtree Team is in a large area of outstanding natural beauty and lies at the southern end of the Chilterns. It is in the Henley Deanery and the Dorchester Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Oxford. The villages lie in an ancient woodland area once known as Langtree, with Reading to the south (about 12 miles), Henley-on-Thames to the east (about 10 miles) and Wallingford to the northwest (about 3 miles). The Team was formed in 1981 with Checkendon, Stoke Row and Woodcote. In 1993 it was enlarged to include the parishes of Ipsden and North Stoke with Mongewell. The Team was further enlarged in 2003 to include the parish of Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. The combined electoral roll (2019) for our parishes was 308. The Team’s complete ministerial staff has the Team Rector serving Checkendon and Stoke Row, a stipendiary Team Vicar at Woodcote and non-stipendiary Team Vicars on a house- for-duty basis serving (a) Ipsden and North Stoke and (b) Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. There is a licensed Reader, a non-stipendiary Team Pastor and a part time Administrator. The Langtree Team staff provide support for the parishes in developing their response to local ministry needs.

  • Minutes November 2017 Page 1

Present were Chairman D. Rickeard, Vice Chair, I. Duff, C. Gover, D. Button, S. Beynon, J. Elliott In attendance A. Leigh (Clerk), members of the public D. Rickeard reported that Crispin Topping has resigned form the Parish Council, but will continue to serve as Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group. 2) Public Forum and Questions. Members of the public were in attendance to present the views of the Save St Hugh’s Rise campaign against planning application P17/S3798/O They oppose the development due to the following grounds: 1) Access to a development of this size (85+ houses) which they consider inadequate, as access is solely through St Hugh’s Rise, a cul de sac off St Hilda's Close, which itself is a branch off the Fleet Meadow loop road, called Sandringham Rd. St Hugh’s is a small cul-de-sac that contains 65 houses, resulting in many cars parking on the road itself. Additionally, St Hugh’s has narrowed pinch points, further restricting traffic flow. The proposed development could see an additional 150+ cars attempting to use this already over utilised access road. Construction traffic will be accessing the development through narrow residential roads and will be noisy, dangerous and inconvenient to residents. How would emergency services cope in the case of an emergency arising? St Hilda's Close and its tributary streets contains 105 + houses, all of which will have the same main access point back to Sandringham road.
