  • Early Medieval Oxfordshire
    Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire Sally Crawford and Anne Dodd, December 2007 1. Introduction: nature of the evidence, history of research and the role of material culture Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire has been extremely well served by archaeological research, not least because of coincidence of Oxfordshire’s diverse underlying geology and the presence of the University of Oxford. Successive generations of geologists at Oxford studied and analysed the landscape of Oxfordshire, and in so doing, laid the foundations for the new discipline of archaeology. As early as 1677, geologist Robert Plot had published his The Natural History of Oxfordshire ; William Smith (1769- 1839), who was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire, determined the law of superposition of strata, and in so doing formulated the principles of stratigraphy used by archaeologists and geologists alike; and William Buckland (1784-1856) conducted experimental archaeology on mammoth bones, and recognised the first human prehistoric skeleton. Antiquarian interest in Oxfordshire lead to a number of significant discoveries: John Akerman and Stephen Stone's researches in the gravels at Standlake recorded Anglo-Saxon graves, and Stone also recognised and plotted cropmarks in his local area from the back of his horse (Akerman and Stone 1858; Stone 1859; Brown 1973). Although Oxford did not have an undergraduate degree in Archaeology until the 1990s, the Oxford University Archaeological Society, originally the Oxford University Brass Rubbing Society, was founded in the 1890s, and was responsible for a large number of small but significant excavations in and around Oxfordshire as well as providing a training ground for many British archaeologists. Pioneering work in aerial photography was carried out on the Oxfordshire gravels by Major Allen in the 1930s, and Edwin Thurlow Leeds, based at the Ashmolean Museum, carried out excavations at Sutton Courtenay, identifying Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 1920s, and at Abingdon, identifying a major early Anglo-Saxon cemetery (Leeds 1923, 1927, 1947; Leeds 1936).

  • South Oxfordshire District Council Note on Growth of the Towns and Larger Villages
    South Oxfordshire District Council Note on Growth of the Towns and Larger Villages Following Matter 5 on the Spatial Strategy and in advance of Week 4 Matters on the Towns, the tables and graphs attached expand on the planned growth of the Sustainable Settlements. They are as follows: Table 1: explains the origins of the figures the Plans sets for neighbourhood plans to allocate in Tables 5d and 5f. It starts with the number of dwellings at the time of the 2011 Census, adds 15% to the dwellings stock and adds the allocations carried forward from earlier plans, before showing how much this represents in terms of growth each settlement in percentage terms by 2035 Table 2: explains the actual (in many cases much higher) percentage growth of the Towns and Larger Villages because of commitments and completions. Also adds in the allocations in the Plan at Didcot, Nettlebed, Berinsfield, Chalgrove and Wheatley. Graphs: show the size of the four Towns at the 2011 Census, the number completed since 2011, the number of commitments (planning permissions) and the outstanding number to allocate in neighbourhood plans for Thame and Henley-on-Thames. In all cases the Didcot figures show only the South Oxfordshire side, not Vale of White Horse district. Together these show: 1. The Plan does not overlook the sustainable settlements (market towns and larger villages). There is high percentage growth here, but it is less visible in the Plan because it is being delivered through neighbourhood plans and not Plan allocations (except for Didcot, Nettlebed, Berinsfield, Chalgrove and Wheatley).
