  • Comments on the Proposed Boundary Changes to South-East

    Comments on the Proposed Boundary Changes to South-East

    Comments on the proposed boundary changes to south‐east Oxford As the Chair of Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon Community Group, I would argue that the proposed changes make little sense and that the existing ward boundaries should be retained, with the leeway for change mentioned below. Councillors should represent communities, not raw numbers. The natural boundaries of our ward (Rose Hill and Iffley) are the river, ring‐road, Rose Hill/Henley Avenue and Donnington Recreation Ground ‐ or Donnington Bridge Road if a greater number of residents is needed. If a lower number of residents is needed, the area around Westbury Crescent could be moved into Cowley ward as most people regard it as Cowley. We should keep all the houses on both sides of Rose Hill (the road) as it wouldn't make sense to live on Rose Hill and not in it! Our group would be badly affected by the proposed boundary change as we based our choice of name on the fact that they constitute one ward. We have active members in both Rose Hill and Iffley and this helps to bring the two communities together. It has always been helpful to ask known Councillors to represent us on key issues and to build a working relationship with them. It would be very complicated if we had to refer to multiple Councillors in a number of different communities. Rose Hill and Iffley share common resources ‐ the river, the church, Iffley Meadows, the No 3 bus into the town centre, the allotments, the recreation ground and now Rose Hill Community Centre, which provides facilities such as the gym to the whole community.

  • The Field Names of Cowley.Pdf

    The Field Names of Cowley.Pdf

    The field names of Cowley Christopher Lewis Cowley and its common fields When I refer to ‘Cowley’ I usually mean the area defined by the Enclosure Commissioners in 1853, encompassing all those detached areas of other parishes.1 The common fields of Cowley stretched from the banks of the Cherwell, south-eastwards to the old Roman Road and the borders with Horspath, Littlemore and Iffley, with a small detached portion on the slopes of Shotover Hill, known as Elder Stumps. A brook, now known as Boundary Brook, runs east to west across this area. Originally it meandered across the fields slightly south of its present course, but it was straightened, and probably deepened, at the time of the Enclosure. Our knowledge of the field names, and where they are in the landscape, mostly comes from maps made for Corpus Christi College, Christ Church, and Pembroke College, and then later in a series of Tithe maps and Enclosure maps. Field boundaries, parish boundaries, and roads are not necessarily coincident, and the boundaries of the open fields are not always shown on the maps. The earliest map that shows the borders of the fields was made for Christ Church by William Chapman in 1777 and names the larger fields as Millam, Long Mead, Compass Field, Ridge Field, Bartholomew Field, The Lakes, Cowley Marsh, and Lye Hill all north of the brook, and Wood Field, Fur Field, Broad Field, and Church Field to the south.2 Other names appear in the documents, sometimes as alternative names for the same pieces of ground, and sometimes seeming more important than the names on the Chapman map.
  • Oxford Meadows & Farmoor

    Oxford Meadows & Farmoor

    Oxford Meadows and Farmoor CTA (Conservation Target Area) This area includes the Thames Valley to the west of Oxford as far as Farmoor. It includes the Oxford Meadows Special Area of Conservation, Farmoor Reservoir and gravel workings between Yarnton and Cassington. Joint Character Area: Thames and Avon Vales Landscape Type: Riverside Meadows Geology: Alluvium Topography: Flat riverside land Area of CTA: 1653 hectares Biodiversity: • Lowland Meadows: Extensive areas of nationally important lowland meadow habitat are found at Pixey and Yarnton Meads, Port Meadow, Wolvercote Meadows and Cassington Meadows. There are also a number of smaller meadow sites at Wolvercote, Yarnton and near Eynsham. • Floodplain Grazing Marsh: Extensive areas of this area are floodplain grazing marsh including Port Meadow and some of the large lowland meadow sites as well as other areas of wet improved grassland. • Eutrophic Standing Water: Farmoor Reservoir is the largest area of standing water in Oxfordshire. Some of the new gravel pits near Yarnton also attract good number of wildfowl. Wolvercote gravel pit is also in this area. This habitat is also found at Pinkhill at Farmoor, Dukes Lock Pond and old gravel workings near Cassington. • Fen/swamp: Swamp habitat is found in a canalside meadow at Wolvercote, which supports good numbers of overwintering snipe, and in small railside pits at Yarnton. Rich areas are found in ditches at Wytham. • Reedbeds There is a reedbed at Dukes Lock Pond, at Trap Grounds, in an old gravel pit at Cassington and small areas elsewhere. Reedbeds have been created next to the Thames at Farmoor Reservoir. • Wet Woodland: Small areas largely associated with old pits Access: Largely restricted to footpaths and bridleways including the Thames Path.

  • A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A

    A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A

    A brief history of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and why their plant communities changed over the last 90 years A. W McDonald Summary A multidisciplinary approach to landscape history enabled the examination of botanical, hydrological and agricultural data spanning some 4,000 years. The results showed Bronze Age humans affecting the vegetation by pasturing cattle on the floodplain extending from Yarnton to Oxford. In the Iron Age pastoralists were over-grazing Port Meadow and, between the sixth and ninth centuries, part of the floodplain was set aside for a hay crop whilst the aftermath or second grass crop continued to be shared as pasture. By Domesday floodplain meads were the most expensive land recorded in this survey and Port Meadow was established as common land belonging to Oxford. Having discussed the soil and water conditions on the floodplain and its potential effect on the plant communities, the management history of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common is followed by that of Picksey Mead. Finally, the plant communities are discussed. Those established in 1981/2 are compared with data sets for the early 1920s and for 1996-2006. Changes in the species composition between sites are due to different management regimes and those over time and within sites are attributed to changes in the water-table. Introduction The Oxford grassland comprises common pasture and mead situated on alluvium over limestone gravel. It is unusual for its four thousand years of management history and evidence for the effect this has had on the vegetation. Sited in the upper Thames valley, within three miles of Oxford City centre, Port Meadow (325 acres/132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (75 acres/30.4 ha) (Figure 1 and Figure 2) are known locally as the Meadow, even though they are pasture1.
