Lechlade is renowned for its position on the headwaters of the River Thames and as being the gateway to the Cotswolds to the north. Inglesham straddles the A361 and is very well located for access to Swindon, Cirencester, Oxford, the M4 and M5 motorways. There are regular train services from Swindon and Didcot to London Paddington, taking about 55 and 45 minutes respectively. The area is particularly well served by both state and private schools, including independent schools at Cricklade (Prior Park), Shrivenham (Pinewood), Hatherop Castle, St Hugh’s, Marlborough and the Cheltenham Colleges. There are also many recreational facilities in the area including polo at the Inglesham Polo Club and Cirencester Park, golf at Highworth, Faringdon, Marlborough and Bowood, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, boating on the River Thames and racing at Newbury and Cheltenham. The surrounding countryside is particularly attractive and provides many opportunities for walking and riding. Description Lynt House is a handsome 18th Century Grade II Listed former farmhouse. Over the last 10 years the house has been carefully restored by the current owner, who was until recently a curator for the National Trust. Great care has been taken to preserve as much of the original integrity, charm and character as possible as well as insuring that any new works carried out to the house, such as the sash windows in the drawing room are an accurate replacement. The accommodation is well laid out and comprises a number of elegant, well proportioned rooms, many of which enjoy a fine southerly view over the landscaped garden and adjoining countryside. Many period features remain including a fine Adam style fireplace in the dining room, plaster cornices and a charming arched corner display cabinet and cupboards in the sitting room. The kitchen is of very good size and includes a four oven Aga. Gardens and Grounds The maturing garden is designed to take advantage of the surprisingly long views over the pasture to The Ridgeway, Uffington White Horse and Coleshill. Views and vistas, restricted and open, are formed by an avenue of Turkish Hazel, a matching triangle of pleached hornbeams and return walks of thorns and open lawn.

    INGLESHAM. ST JOHN THE BAPTIST’S. MARCH 2021 CHURCH PLAN Part A - Current Report Part B - Survey Results of our open survey conducted in Summer and Autumn 2020, canvassing all community contacts for their reaction to Part A. The survey remains open and available at this location. Please feel free to repeat your survey response or complete the survey for the first time. Part C - Community Recommendations Minutes of any community meetings held to discuss the information available in other parts of the Church Plan. Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance St John the Baptist Church in Inglesham, Swindon, Wiltshire, England, has Anglo-Saxon origins but most of the current structure was built around 1205. Much of the church has not changed since the medieval era. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It was declared redundant on 1 April 1980 and was vested in the Trust on 28 October 1981. The church is just above the surrounding water meadows next to the confluence of the River Thames, River Coln and the Thames and Severn Canal. St John's was a particular favourite of John Betjeman; an English poet, writer and broadcaster who was a founding member of the Victorian Society and Poets Laureate. Richard Taylor presenter of BBC Four's Churches: How To Read Them picked Inglesham as his favourite of the hundreds of churches he visited for the television programme, saying "It was a totally unassuming building, sat in the middle of the countryside.

  • The Medieval Rural Landscape, C AD 1000–1500 by James Bond
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014).

  • The River Thames
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The River Thames THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The River Thames By James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley INTRODUCTION By AD 1000, the Thames was largely established along its modern course (Fig. 1). The character of the river and its immediate environs has been studied as part of numerous archaeological investigations in the valley (Booth et al . 2007; Lambrick et al . 2009; Morigi et al . 2011). By the time of Domesday Book, extensive areas along the river banks were cultivated as hay meadow, and detailed local archaeological studies suggest that this could have begun as early as the 8th or 9th century (eg Booth et al . 2007, 331–6). In places, earlier channels silted up as the alluvium left behind by seasonal floods heightened, extending old river islands and creating new ones. There is abundant evidence for human intervention in these processes from the late Saxon period onwards, with the dumping of soil and refuse at the water-edge to raise the ground level, infill unwanted channels and extend habitable land. The cutting and stabilisation of these channels provided water for milling, industrial processes and navigation. Between AD 1000 and 2000, the Thames provided a wide range of resources to local inhabitants. It was an indispensable source of water for brewing, washing, irrigation and industry; it was the chief drain and sewer of the region, carrying away human and industrial waste; it provided power for mills; it was a source of fish and wildfowl, and of reeds, rushes and willow for flooring and wickerwork; and, it was a highway for transport between the west, the midlands and the port and capital city of London.

  • An Analysis of Investment in Parish Church Interiors in Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire
    THE ‘BEAUTY OF HOLINESS’ REVISITED: AN ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT IN PARISH CHURCH INTERIORS IN DORSET, SOMERSET, AND WILTSHIRE, 1560-1640. by SUSAN MARY ORLIK A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2018.

Abstract This analysis of the extant material evidence of the interiors of parish churches in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, 1560 -1640, challenges traditional assumptions about who decorated them, and what motivated them. Local studies show that what might appear as compliance to externally imposed requirements could also be a more complex story of parochial priorities and of local catalysts; some radical changes could appear traditional. Whilst donors’ religious and secular motives were often interwoven, this study will show that there was no clear alignment between confessional positions and decoration, and that Protestantism continued to embrace the visual in parish churches. It will be argued that the enhancing of churches predated the 1630s, and anything that could be called Laudian.
