A Short History of WHEATLEY STONE
A Short History of WHEATLEY STONE By W. O. HASSALL ILLUSTRATED BY PETER TYSOE 1955 Printed at the Oxford School of Art WHEATLEY STONE The earliest quarry at Wheatley to be named in the records is called Chalgrove, but it is not to be confused with the famous field of the same name where John Hampden was mortally wounded and which was transformed into an aerodrome during the war. Chalgrove in Wheatley lies on the edge of Wheatley West field, near the boundary of Shotover Park on the south side of the road from London to High Wycombe, opposite a turning to Forest Hill and Islip where a modern quarry is worked for lime, six miles East of Oxford. The name of Challrove in Wheatley is almost forgotten, except by the elderly, though the name appears in the Rate books. The exact position is marked in a map of 1593 at All Souls College and grass covered depressions which mark the site are visible from the passing buses. The All Souls map shows that some of these depressions, a little further east, were called in Queen Elizabeth’s reign Glovers and Cleves pits. The Queen would have passed near them when she travelled as a prisoner from Woodstock to Rycot on a stormy day when the wind was so rough that her captors had to hold down her dress and later when she came in triumph to be welcomed by the City and University at Shotover, on her way to Oxford. The name Chaigrove is so old that under the spelling Ceorla graf it occurs in a charter from King Edwy dated A.D.

11J. SODC Portfolio Holder Report April 2018.Docx
REPORT FOR: Councillor Felix Bloomfield CABINET MEMBER FOR PLANNING DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT (DM) REPORT FOR April 2018 1. 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. The production of the Statement of Common Ground was supported by involvement from the Planning Advisory Service and will be regularly updated through the duration of the JSSP. The Growth Deal team are talking to MHCLG about the practicalities and operation of a reduced housing delivery test alongside a 3 year housing land supply. More detail will emerge, but it is likely that this will need to be subject to local consultation prior to the publication of the final NPPF. Joint Statutory Spatial Plan (JSSP) for Oxfordshire (statutory) As part of the Housing and Growth Deal officers are starting to progress some background to the joint statutory spatial plan. An interim lead for the JSSP has been appointed – Rachel Williams will be taking on the project and is expected to take up this post in the next fortnight. 2. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT Registration Number of applications is 111 (currently working to 3 day turnaround) Average number of applications received throughout March was 30.5 per day (up on January and February figures and in April an average of 34 per day is expected. There have been issues with staffing levels across the Registration/ Business Support – as a result of vacancies and sickness – we are trying to address this by amending working patterns and recruitment. 5YHLS update Our current Five Year Housing Land Supply (5YHLS) position was published in May 2017 and demonstrates that we have supply of 4.1 years.

George Edmund Street
DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE WORK BY ONE OF THE GREATEST VICTORIAN ARCHITECTS? George Edmund Street Diocesan Church Building Society, and moved to Wantage. The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.
