See our Planning Your Visit leaflet for further information. Who Did What? During wartime many emergency functions were run by the Government. The two most important local councils in Berkshire at the time were Berkshire County Council and Reading Corporation, which were responsible for effecting emergency orders. These principal councils either carried out the orders themselves or delegated them to the other borough or district councils. -
The Church of the Holy Rood, Shilton
The Church of the Holy Rood, Shilton. Given to the Cistercian Monks in January 1205 and, today,still showing the form of their farming grange. Early Beginnings and Background. We do know that the Romans built churches in west Oxfordshire but do not know whether the Church of the Holy Rood was ever earlier than Saxon or Norman. Shilton was possibly a Saxon settlement, Scylfton, belonging to the Godwin family of which Harold was King at the Battle of Hastings. The village passed into ownership of the William I after the Conquest and then passed through many name iterations via Sculton, to Shulton and finally Shilton. Principal doorways to churches usually point south and the south aisle of this church with a closed off doorway, pointing south, and with a different roof pitch might indicate a smaller church existed once with a lost settlement to the south of it. Shilton probably originated as a Saxon village from the 8th or 9th Century AD. Since the Saxon period lasted from 600 AD until the Conquest it is possible that the church itself has Saxon origins, or that Saxon builders used their techniques to build this church to a Norman design in coursed rubble. Introduction. The church is one of 211 Grade II* listed buildings in West Oxfordshire and three tombs in the churchyard also have a Grade II listing. However, the listing descriptions and guide book entries for the Church of the Holy Rood are informative but bland and miss the interest and life evoked by many aspects of the church’s structure, artifacts, mysteries and treasures. -

Sustainable Socialism: William Morris on Waste Elizabeth C
The Journal of Modern Craft Sustainable Socialism: Volume 4—Issue 1 William Morris on March 2011 pp. 7–26 Waste DOI: 10.2752/174967811X12949160068974 Elizabeth C. Miller Reprints available directly from the publishers Photocopying permitted by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Associate Professor of English at licence only the University of California, Davis. She is currently working © Berg 2011 on a book titled Slow Print: Print Culture and Late-Victorian Literary Radicalism. Her first book, Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siècle, was published in 2008, and her articles have appeared in Modernism/Modernity, Feminist Studies, Literature Compass, Victorian Literature and Culture, The Journal of William Morris Studies, The Henry James Review, and elsewhere. Abstract While William Morris has long been recognized for his radical approach to the problem of labor, which built on the ideas of John Ruskin and informed his contributions to the Arts and Crafts philosophy, his ideas about waste have received much less attention. This article suggests that the Kelmscott Press, which Morris founded in 1891, was designed to embody the values of durability and sustainability in sharp contrast to the neophilia, disposability, and planned obsolescence of capitalist production. Many critics have dismissed the political value of Kelmscott Press on the basis of the handcrafted books’ expense and rarity, but by considering Morris’s work for Kelmscott in light of his fictional and non-fictional writings about waste around the time of the press’s conception, we can see how Kelmscott laid the groundwork for a philosophy of sustainable socialism. Keywords: William Morris, Kelmscott Press, printing, waste. -
