  • A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – Updated January 2017 Aynho Is a Two-Part Name
    A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – updated January 2017 Aynho is a two-part name - ‘Ayn’ is either a corruption of a Saxon personal name, or more likely the Saxon word for a spring or stream. The ‘Hoh’ is a Saxon word for a promontory/projecting ridge of land standing on a plain as Aynho does. The earliest mention (in the Domesday Book) of an owner of the manor of Aynho is Asgar - a Danish thane (knight). He was standard bearer for Edward the Confessor who reigned from 1042 to 1066. (Edward was born at Islip about fifteen miles south east of Aynho, so he probably knew Asgar). The entry showed 3¼ hides (about 400 acres altogether), land for 8 ploughs, a mill and 20 acres of meadow. Why was Aynho so relatively important in the mid-ten hundreds? Probably because of its location high up overlooking the whole Cherwell valley. There were very few significant houses in existence within a radius of twenty miles at that time, and it is believed that Aynho had a substantial wooden Saxon manor house then. For example Oxford Castle was not built until 1073, Banbury Castle 1135, Broughton Castle 1300, Rousham House 1635 and Upton House 1695. The first proper Oxford College, University College, wasn’t founded until1249. Apart from Aynho north of Oxford only Sulgrave Manor is recorded as having an Anglo-Saxon Manor House around the late 9th century. William the Conqueror gave the village to one of his barons, Geoffrey de Mandeville, for helping him win the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

  • 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.

  • Lark Rise Observations
    1st July, 2008 Issue 21 Oxfordshire Record Office, St Luke’s Church, Temple Road, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 2HT. Telephone 01865 398200. Email [email protected]: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS THE SMITHY AT FRINGFORD Page 1 SEE PAGES 2 and 3 - for ‘Observations’ 1st July, 2008 Issue 21 LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS Anyone watching the recent BBC adaptations of FloraThompson’s Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy will be aware that, although filmed elsewhere, the novels are set in the north-east corner of Oxfordshire with Lark Rise representing Juniper Hill and Candleford supposedly an amalgam of Banbury, Bicester, Brackley and Buckingham. Flora Thompson (nee Timms) lived at End House in Juniper Hill, a hamlet of Cottisford where she attended the local Board school and church on Sundays. Her job in the post office was at Fringford (about 4-5 miles away). In the novels Flora called herself Laura and in the TV series her parents are called Robert and Emma Timmins. In real life her family name was Timms and her parents were called Albert and Emma. The End House where they lived in Juniper Hill can still be seen today (part of a modern dwelling) and its location can be seen on an OS map, c1900. The Cottisford parish registers reveal that 10 children of Albert and Emma were baptized in the church, starting with Martha on 13th Nov 1875 and ending with Cecil Barrie on 6th Mar 1898 (over 20 years, by which time Emma was in her mid-40s). Four of the children, including Martha, Albert (born 1882), Ellen Mary (born 1893) and Cecil Barrie (buried 4th Apr 1900) died in infancy.

  • Flora Thompson Report Commemorating Flora's Life
    FLORA THOMPSON REPORT COMMEMORATING FLORA’S LIFE 70 YEARS AFTER HER DEATH The ‘Evening at Lark Rise’ special evening event on June 28 last, the main focus of the Old Gaol’s Commemoration of Flora Thompson’s life 70 years after her death, was very well attended by over thirty five visitors (plus invited guests), who thoroughly enjoyed both the current standing commemorative exhibition (on until July 5) and the ‘Evening at Lark Rise’ special event, itself. The main thrust of the actual Flora Thompson commemorative exhibition in the Old Gaol exercise yard, held from June 23 to July 5, is to showcase items and memorabilia, including some rare and scarcely seen items, some over 100 years old, and others, although completely complementary to the Flora Thompson story and her life and works, rarely see the light of day. Others, particularly the commemorative china and metal items of the early and mid eighties, although produced in fairly large numbers, are also largely unknown to the general public, even to many Flora aficionados themselves. TO PICK OUT SOME OF THE MORE UNUSUAL ITEMS: The Catholic Fireside Magazine – a bound copy of twelve editions of this periodical each containing work by Flora Thompson, dated July to September 1925. A feature about Flora Thompson (‘poetess’ [sic]) in the Daily Page 15 Mirror dated 3 March 1921. A selection from a collection of over 50 theatre programmes from theatres in all parts of the country, from Buckingham to London, Nottingham to Southampton, and all parts between. A rare copy of ‘Fifty-One Poems’ by Mary Webb (the author of ‘Precious Bane’), signed and inscribed to Winifred Thompson (Flora’s daughter), by the illustrator (and well known wood cut engraver of the time), Joan Hassall.

Flora was something of an enigma during her life. Still is. Maybe at the turn of the 20th Century, life for a woman was more difficult and often subsumed by a picky publisher or a strict husband. Or both. Possibly Flora's book 'Larkrise to Candleford' appeals to the gals because of the frock-fest and vulnerable children and the guys because of the bucolic, clay ruralness of the NE Oxfordshire/Northhamptonshire and Buckinghamshire borders. Candleford may be modelled on the Buckingham of the day. Flora wasn't a particularly famous or prolific writer, only taking up writing in her sixties.
