  • Cropredy Bridge by MISS M
    Cropredy Bridge By MISS M. R. TOYNBEE and J. J. LEEMING I IE bridge over the River Chenveff at Cropredy was rebuilt by the Oxford­ shire County Council in J937. The structure standing at that time was for T the most part comparatively modern, for the bridge, as will be explained later, has been thoroughly altered and reconstructed at least twice (in J780 and 1886) within the last 160 years. The historical associations of the bridge, especiaffy during the Civil War period, have rendered it famous, and an object of pilgrimage, and it seems there­ fore suitable, on the occasion of its reconstruction, to collect together such details as are known about its origin and history, and to add to them a short account of the Civil War battle of 1644, the historical occurrence for which the site is chiefly famous. The general history of the bridge, and the account of the battle, have been written by Miss Toynbee; the account of the 1937 reconstruction is by Mr. Leeming, who, as engineer on the staff of the Oxfordshire County Council, was in charge of the work. HISTORY OF TIlE BRIDGE' The first record of the existence of a bridge at Cropredy dates, so far as it has been possible to discover, from the year 1312. That there was a bridge in existence before 1312 appears to be pretty certain. Cropredy was a place of some importance in the :\1iddle Ages. It formed part of the possessions of the See of Lincoln, and is entered in Domesday Book as such. 'The Bishop of Lincoln holds Cropelie.

  • Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches
    Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches By E. T. LONG INTRODUCTION EFORE the Reformation the interiors of our churches glowed with colour Bon walls, roofs, screens, images and altar pieces, while the windows sparkled with the brilliance of painted glass. In the Middle Ages, as comparatively few people could read, it was necessary to teach by means of pictures, which in any case are often more informative than the written or spoken word, and this was the primary purpose of mural paintings. At the Reformation these pictures were ordered to be obliterated as symbols of Popish idolatry, and scriptural texts put in their places. These texts were, of course, intended to be instructive and edifying, and their often decorative value helped to give some colour to the now otherwise hare interiors of the churches. Occasionally, especially in the 17th century, representations of the Apostles and Prophets or Death depicted as a skeleton with spade and hourglass were executed, but generally speaking such pictures were crude compared with their medieval predecessors. During the medieval period later paintings were often superimposed on the originals, some­ times with the same subject but more usually with something entirely different; an example of the former process can be detected at Combe and of the latter formerly at South Newington. Though mural painting was employed from early times in this country, as is proved from remains that have been discovered in Roman villas, it is probable that the earliest examples now surviving belong to the Romanesque period. These paintings are not, as a rule, true frescoes but are executed in tempera on the dry plaster, whereas a fresco is painted on the plaster while it is still moist so tllat the colours are incorporated in it.
