  • REUBEN COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY of OXFORD Asbestos Abatement – Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic Building Record April 2021
    REUBEN COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Asbestos Abatement – Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic Building Record April 2021 A historic building record (HBR) has already been prepared in response to condition 3 of the main works listed building consent for the refurbishment of the Radcliffe Science Library, Abbot’s Kitchen and former Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory to establish the new home of Reuben College (ref. 20/00943/LBC). As per the condition and written scheme of investigation submitted, this comprises a level 3 record (analytical). It is anticipated that a historic building record condition will be attached to the asbestos abatement consent. It is therefore proposed that any findings as a result of this work are documented as an addendum to the existing HBR, which already records the interiors prior to any works. This will include details regarding the moulded profiles around the windows, which it will be necessary to remove prior to reinstating in a suitable lime plaster. The HBR prepared in response to condition 3 of listed building consent 20/00943/LBC has not yet been submitted in order for the condition to be discharged. In order to create a coherent site archive, the original HBR and addendum required as a result of any new findings during the asbestos abatement works will be submitted together in order to discharge the existing condition on 20/00943/LBC and anticipated condition for the abatement works LBC. Areas concerned: lower ground and ground floors of the Jackson wing, between the glazed link and the threshold with the Hooke entrance hall (refer to FJMT drawing 4-A-70310).

  • OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko
    A BARBARA PYM WALK THROUGH OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko And that sweet city with her dreaming spires She needs not June for beauty’s heightening, Lovely all times she lies, lovely to-night! – Matthew Arnold Through a rift in the trees he caught his first real glimpse of Oxford – in that ineffectual moonlight an underwater city, its towers and spires standing ghostly, like the memo- rials of lost Atlantis, fathoms deep. – Edmund Crispin [1] Numbers in square brackets correspond to the numbers on the map. THE STARTING POINT IS THE ENTRANCE OF ST HILDA’S COLLEGE ON COWLEY PLACE [1] St Hilda’s is the college of novelists D. K. Broster and Catherine Heath, poets Jenny Joseph and Wendy Cope, and detective fiction writer Val McDermid. It was founded in 1893 by Dorothea Beale – educational reformer, suffragist, and Principal of the Cheltenham Ladies’ College – and it remained an all-women’s col- lege until 2008, making it the last single-sex college in the University of Oxford. When Barbara was a student here in the 1930s the college buildings comprised Hall and South Buildings (the former described below) and a ‘temporary’ wooden Chapel (1925-1969) located where Garden Building now stands. South Building was originally a family house named Cowley Grange, built in the 1870s by Christ Church chemistry tutor Augustus Vernon Harcourt. From 1902-1920 it was a women's teacher training college called Cherwell Hall; St Hilda’s obtained the leasehold in 1920 and purchased the building outright in 1949. During the 1950s the former Milham Ford School building, located between Hall and South, was purchased, the kitchens and dining hall were expanded, and the Prin- cipal’s House and a Porters’ Lodge constructed.
