The sun shone. the c.astlc looked splendid and the gardens were at a peak of rose-filled perfection. Every ticket had been sold and people came and picnicked in the grounds and enjoyed the atmosphere. It was particularly apposite to be at Broughton for this. as Baron Saye was one oft.he barons who forced King John lo set his seal on the charter, and the Great Hall was a wonderful setting for such an occasion. Sir Bob Worcester. chairing the occasion, introduced the serious part of the proceedings and gave a short precis or the importance of Magna Carta in the following centuries. It was an extra bonus to have Anton Lesser with us. who had played Sir Thomas More in the recent BBC adaptation of WolfHall. some of which had been filmed at Brough1on. He read extracts from the Great Charter. and also finished the evening with a reading of Rudyard Kipling's Runnymede. In between Professor David Carpenter. of King's College London, gave a sparkling lecture aboul the making of the Greal Charter. which included some distinctly unacademic language ("King John was obviously a s0t'), making U! all laugh as well as making us think. Afterward Professor Carpenter signed copies of his books. some BHS books were sold. more wine was drunk and a cheerful time was had by all. TI1is event was arranged by Banbury Museum together with the Banbury Historical Society wilh help from the Magna Carta Trust. Many thanks are due to Simon Townsend and to Susan Walker forputting it all together, not forgetting Marlin Ficnnes who made it all possible by making the Castle available.

Intended simply to provide information on revenues due to the crown. Domesday provides an incomplete record of geographical area, land use and population. However. the speed of its productfon does illustrate the preceding Anglo-Saxon administration's well-established commLU1ications, legal and fiscal systems. According to Domesday. Hook Norton was a large and profitable entity, returning £30 in taxes in both I 066 and I 086. It might well not have c-overed the same area as today's civil parish. In the tenth century Hook Norton was a royal estate, a 'viii'. It is so named by John of Worcester in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle: After Easter [in 913] tlte pagan army from Northampton a11d Leicester p/u11dered ' DomesdayBook. Oxfordshire, Phillimore. Oxford. f. 28. 303 Oxfordshire, and killed many men in the royal viii Hook Norton and in many other places. John Blair i11 Oxoniensa points out that five parishes meet on the north eastern boundaiy of Hook Norton and postulates that a royal estate that included Hook Norton was broken up in the temh century.2 Further evidence of! look Norton's pre-Conquest impo11ance is the Anglo-Saxon stonework discovered in the church.

'John Blair. "Hook Norton, regia villa", Oxoniensia, Vol LJ, 1986. p.63. 3(),1 In 1086 the landowner who united d1e diree manors and was directly responsible to the crown was Robe,t d"Oilly, by then Sheriff of Warwickshire and Oxfordshire and keeper of Oxford Castle. Robe,t had fought at Hastings and accompanied Duke William 10 Wallingford 1 where - thanks to a Saxon kinsman of Edward the Confessor, Wigod - the invading army crossed the Thames on their way to take London. Robe,t was delegated to strengthen the castle at Wallingford and presumably that was when he married Wigod's daughter. Many of Wigod's lands passed to Robert and were then given 10 Robert's son-in-law. Miles Crispin, and his comrade in am1s, Roger d'lvry.4 In fact, 14 ofd1e 23 lands artribured to Wigod were held at least in part by d'Oilly, Crispin or d"Jvry in I 086 - but there is no evidence that the three brothers who held Hook Norton in I 066 were associated with Wigod. Be that as it may, HookNorton was the largest of Robert d'Oilly's manors, and the ea put of his barony. The Normans were ruthless in their enforcement of rank and duties. What would later be called the feudal system is oftenattributed LO them, but they built on systems already in place before the Conquest. By unifying the manors of Hook Norton d'Oilly assumed the duly of providing three knights attended by men at arms if King William required them. He was responsible for the protection of his tenants in return for labour on his demesne, customary paymenls and perhaps military service. He had similar obligations for many other manors scattered throughout eleven C-Ounties. Of the hides in Hook Norton, 25 were farmed collectively by 76 30 i villeins and l ve bordars, or smallholders. A villein might have held a yardland, about 30 acres: at least that was the measure of a yardland in I look Norton in the eighteenth centu,y. Bordars, who had less land. would have also worked as craftsmen: for example, as blacksmiths, carpenters. masons or wheelwrights, but there is no mention of these trades in Domesday which was only concerned with potential income to 3 Wigod (or Wigot). Sheriff of Oxford and cup-bearer 10 King Edward, is named in Domesday as overlord of 18 esta1es and chief tenant of five in I 066. His son, Tokig. died fighting alongside William at the battle of Gerberoi in 1077. Wigod retained his land and s1a1us after the Conquest: he died before 1086. 4 John Blair, in Anglo-SaxonOxfordshire, Alan Sutton Publishing. 1994, p 174. claims Ihm Wigod's estates descended by marriage, 1101 confiscation. 10 Robcn d'Oilly and Miles Crispin: some were then ceded 10 d' lvry. 305 the crown. The villagers had 30 plough-teams which probably represents about2,400 acres (ifa plough-team worked about 80 acres). There is no consensus about the evaluation of Domesday's key terms: measurements were only locally consistent. The number of plough-teams does relate precisely to the geld due from the manor. in Hook Norton al lease. There were 140 acres of meadow. about 10 acres of woodlandand 100 acres of pasture or rough grazing. There were 1wo water mills alongsidethe rivers Stour and Swere. which still mark the no,thernand southernboundar ies of Hook Norton parish. The pre-Conquest common field system would adapt and endure until parliamentary enclosure in the eighteenth century changed the landscape radically. A sixth of the land was the lord·s demesne. This presumably included the park first mentioned in 130 I. By the sixteenth centu,y it was said to contain a coppice of 40 acres, as well as "lands. meadows, leasures and pastures··.5 Henry Vlll. 011a royal progress in 1535, found the deer park inadequatc.6 When John. Earl of Warwick. sold his Hook Norton manor to Edward VI. the survey lists three freeholders ·'by fealty only, in !Teesoccage. and not in chief· who 1>aid 14d., 12d. and 6s. respectively. There were 23 copyholders in the vills and fields of Hook Norton, and one in Sibford. The tota I rent of these customm)' tenants was £24 I 0s. Eleven tenants at will of the King are listed. with their holdings and rents, as are details of .. all 707 trees ("tymbre trees, slyppes, doddards and wralles ) itemised by their owners or growin upon the "scite of the dcmcanes of the said manor ofHockenorton".9 These figures refer to the secular manor: since 1129 the priory church of St Ma1y in Oxford, later Oseney Abbey, had been granted extensive lands as well as the advowson (and income) of the churches in Hook Norton and other d'Oilly manors. In about l 140 Robert II d'Oilly had made the Abbey free of feudal duties to him. Its tenants were exempted from forced labour, the canons had the rights of housebote and haybote, l Margaret Dickins, Historyof Hook Norton, 912-1928, Banbury. 1928, p 72. • David Starkey, SL, /rives: The Queens of Henr)' l'/11, p 527.

In Ose11eyAbbey Studies Dave Postles has analysed the Abbey'sestate management. He notes, for instance, that the Abbey's fourteenth century harvest estimates indicate that Hook Norton would provide 310 quarters of grain: 25 of wheat seed, 185 of mi xed wheat and rye and JOO quarters of wile.at. In the grange for seed is one stack of wheatsced reaching above the height of the walls containing by estimate 25 qtrs .... at the other end of the same grange are two stacks of mixed wheat and rye up 10 the great beams and a third up to the height of the walls containing in all by estimate 55 qtrs. Item in the great grange there at the west end arc two stacks of wheat one of which reaches 10 the small beams and the other reaches above the height of the walls containing by estimate 100 qtrs. Item at the other end are two full stacks of mixed wheat and rye and another up to the height of the walls containing by estimate 130 qrrs. Item in the other grange al the cas1 end are two stacks of dredge one of whkh foll and the other almost up to 1he great beams containing by estimate 210 qtrs. Item ai the Olhcr end are two stacks reaching above che height of the walls half of which is of oats which contains by estimate I 00qcrs. And the other half is pulses which conlains by es1imate 60 qlrs. Item on the outside is fsic ] one and a quarter stack and 2 cauntles of pulses in each grangeand they contain by estimate in all 46 qlrs.� Jn time Oseney centralised various activities across its manors. Its flock of 171 sheep in Hook Norton in 1477, for example, was entirely wethers indicating that they were fanned for their fleeces, not for breeding.'° 111e dissolution of the Abbey in 1539 made little difference. Oseney's manorial holdings in Hook Norton passed to the fu-s1 Bishop of Oxford, who happened lo be the last Abbot ofOscncy. The villagers continued to work the open fields and to exercise their common rights. 8 These are rights of commons, critical for small fam1ers and an additional privilege for Oscney Abbey which could then pass on these righrs lO their tenanls. Housebote was the right to take wood from manorial land to repair houses; haybotc was a similar right to collect wood for fencing; pannagc was the right 10 let pigs forage for acoms in the woods. 9 Postles. Osen 307 By the eighteenth century. there were two common fields, northside and southsidc. managed according to custom by a commince of villagers. Some land had already been enclosed by agreement. allowing some fieldsmen to accrue more sizeable holdings. but in 1773 the secular lord of the manor, tl1e Duke of Bucdcuch. and some leading landowners (not all of whom were resident in Hook Norton) applied for parliamentary enclosure. The Award of 1774 gives a detailed summary of land ownership before and after Enclosure. The document at the Oxford Histo1y Centre is unwieldy and dog-eared: the allocations of land defined by area but located only by reference to surrounding land are difficult to follow. A further complication is the Bishop of Oxford's double role as successor to Oseney Abbey's lands and seigneurial rights and as Rector of the Church. What is clear is that the Diocese of Oxford ended up with 1.841 acres of land. about 34 per cent of the total parish acreage, in lieu of its various holdings in the common fields and in compensation for tithes. It retained tenants in the village whose rents were listed in an appendix lo the Enclosure Award. Like Robert d·Oilly, the Duke of Buecleuch held extensive estates elsewhere. He was Scotland's greatest lm1downer, an energetic entrepreneur and banker. 11 For him, Hook Norton was simply one of many manors in his portfolio: first he enclosed it, then he tried several times to sell it.

Salurday 22 July 1775 Enclosure was a move towards more profitable farming but it was not mutually beneficial. The rift between the rich mid tJ1e poor widened. Owners of the smallest plots sold their land to pay the costs or enclosure. and became landless poor.The poor rates were substantially increased. The workhouse was reinstituted. The loss of common grazing rights was critical to those who kept only one pig or a cow. In compensation. forty acres were pul aside fo r 1he poor to gather furze. The Heath Allotment Trust now manages modem allotments for today's villagers. 11 O.�ford Dictionary of Nt11ional Biography, OUP 2004- 14. 308 Nineteenth century iron-ore extraction and the development of a railway line changed the village but their influence, both economically and socially, was short-lived. Hook Norton is still a large parish surrounded by fa.nnland but fewof the residents actually work on the land. The largest employer now is Hook Norton Brewery.

B.S.T. BICESTER. a parish and marke1 town in 1he hundred of Ploughley, in the county of Oxford, 13 miles 10 1he NE of Oxford: and 54 miles to the NW of London by road, or 66 miles by railway. Bicester is a station on the Oxford and Winslow branch of 1hc London and North Westem Railway. TI1e name of 1his place is contracted from the Saxon 8uri11-ceastre, or Bernaceeaster , and was probably derived from Birinus, a prelate of the 7"' century, who assisted in founding it. It is near citesite of the ancient Roman Alchester. and is divided into the two districtS of King's End and Markel End. An Augustine priory was founded here in 1182, by Gilben Bassen. which was dedicated 10 St Eadburg. and had a revenue at the Dissolution of£I 67. The name of the saint of Aylesbury is still attached to a pleasam walk, and a well to whicb it leads. A skinnish occurred here between the royalis1 and parliamentary forces in the reign of Charles I, and the 1own was altemaiely in the possession of bolh panies. TI1e town, which stands in a ,• alley on a small stream. a branch of tl1e Cherwell. is mostly well built, paved and lighled wi1b gas. II principally consists of one long street, on the high road to Banbury: a market place where 1he 1own ball and shambles fonnerly stood, before Chey were destroyed in the riots of 1826; and two other streets called Chapel-street and Crockwell. Great improvements have been recen1ly made in the sanilary condition of 1he town, by covering the open drains, laying down a flagged fool pavement, and improving the supply of water. Jn 1832, during the lime of the cholera. seventy persons were seized wi1h 1hat malady, and the smallp0x hospi1al. which s1ood near the London-road, was appropriated for their reception. The hospital has since been removed to make way for the London and North Wes1em Railway, which has a s1ation here. Bicester is not the seat of any manufacture. except lace. which is made to a small exlenL and the employments of 1he workpeople are chiefly agricultural. h has some extensive breweries, the ale of which is celebra1ed. The general trade of the place, which depends upon its well anended marketS ru1d canle fairs, is benefitted by the Oxford Canal, which passes near it. Bicester is the seal of a Poor-law Union. comprising 38 parishes, and a County Coun district Petty sessions for lhe district are held here. II is also tlte head of a deanery in the archdeaconry and diocese ofOxford. The town contains a savu1gs-bank and die Union p0orhouse, a spacious edifice, erected in 1836, capable of accommodating 320 inmates. 310 The living is a vic.arage in Lhc diocese of Oxford. of the value of £231. in the patronage of the tr ustees of lhe la1e Sir G Page Turner. The cburcb, which stands on the site of the old conven1ual church, was built about 1400, and is dedicated to St Eadburg. It has a good tower, and contains a monumenlal brass, several Norman arches, and some interesting monuments and sculptures. There are chapels belonging to Llte Wesleyans and Independents. The lalter, • commodious brick building, capable of seating 400 persons. was built in 1729. Colonel Gardiner was a frequent attender al the services of this chapel. The charitable endowmenls of Bicester consist chietly of lands for the benefit of decayed townspeople, the produceof which is £206 per annum. There is a blue• coat school, founde,;I in 1721. for 30 boys, which is supponed partly by endowments; a diocesan school established in 1839; a National school. and several olher schools and charities. The market is held on Friday. and a large ca11le market on the firs! Friday of each month. n,e fairs are held on Easter Friday, the firsl Friday in June, the s•• August, the last friday in October, and the d1ird Friday in December.
