Appleton with Eaton Community Plan
Appleton with Eaton Community Plan Final Report & Action Plan July 2010 APPLETON WITH EATON COMMUNITY PLAN PART 1: The Context Section A: The parish of Appleton with Eaton is situated five miles south west of Oxford. It Appleton with Eaton consists of the village of Appleton and the hamlet of Eaton, together totalling some 900 inhabitants. It is surrounded by farmland and woods, and bordered by the Thames to the north-west. Part of the parish is in the Oxford Green Belt, and the centre of Appleton is a conservation area. It is administered by Oxfordshire County Council, The Vale of the White Horse District Council and Appleton with Eaton Parish Council. Appleton and Eaton have long histories. Appleton is known to have been occupied by the Danes in 871 AD, and both settlements are mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Eaton celebrated its millennium in 1968. The parish’s buildings bear witness to its long history, with the Manor House and St Laurence Church dating back to the twelfth century, and many houses which are centuries old. Appleton’s facilities include a community shop and part-time post office, a church, a chapel, a village hall, a primary school, a pre-school, a pub, a sportsfield and a tennis club. Eaton has a pub. There is a limited bus service linking the parish with Oxford, Swindon, Southmoor and Abingdon. There are some twenty-five clubs and societies in Appleton, and a strong sense of community. Businesses in the parish include three large farms, a long-established bell-hanging firm, a saddlery, an electrical systems firm and an increasing number of small businesses run from home. -

Mega-Footpath Problems
MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face. -

Compendium of World War Two Memories
World War Two memories Short accounts of the wartime experiences of individual Radley residents and memories of life on the home front in the village Compiled by Christine Wootton Published on the Club website in 2020 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two Party to celebrate VJ Day in August 1946 Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was on 8 August 1945. It's likely the party shown in the photograph above was held in Lower Radley in a field next to the railway line opposite the old village hall. Club member Rita Ford remembers a party held there with the little ones in fancy dress, including Winston Churchill and wife, a soldier and a Spitfire. The photograph fits this description. It's possible the party was one of a series held after 1945 until well into the 1950s to celebrate VE Day and similar events, and so the date of 1946 handwritten on the photograph may indeed be correct. www.radleyhistoryclub.org.uk ABOUT THE PROJECT These accounts prepared by Club member and past chairman, Christine Wootton, have two main sources: • recordings from Radley History Club’s extensive oral history collection • material acquired by Christine during research on other topics. Below Christine explains how the project came about. Some years ago Radley resident, Bill Small, gave a talk at the Radley Retirement Group about his time as a prisoner of war. He was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk and the 80th anniversary reminded me that I had a transcript of his talk. I felt that it would be good to share his experiences with the wider community and this set me off thinking that it would be useful to record, in an easily accessible form, the wartime experiences of more Radley people. -
