The map predatesby just a few years the disturbing wotk by Galileo Galilei who was using his new telescopeto prove that the earth was not the centreof the universe. Galileo's proof is today cofiunon knowledge and we know that Hanborough is certainly not part of the centre of the universe. However, it is our home and for that reason alone it may be a useful exercise to look at it from time to time 'telescope'to throughour own seehow it moves. This frst village appraisal has been an attempt to capture an impression of Hanboroughas it is in the final decadeof the twentieth century. Where possiblewe have tried to contrastthe presentwith the past so that some senseof the constant, thoughsometimes slow, change we haveundergone can be communicated. If the map of the parishthat follows is comparedwith that of 1605it will be seen that the essentialpattern of roads we know today was already in place. It is interestingto searchfor the changesin that patternthat have occurredin the past almost400 years. In July 1993the ParishCouncil held a public meetingto discussthe possibility of Hanboroughconducting a village appraisal. A memberof the OxfordshireRural Community Council (ORCC) was on hand to brief the meetingon the natureand possible advantagesof a village appraisal. The ORCC also recommended computersoftware for devisinga suitablequestionnaire and analysingthe results. From this meeting came the impems for a group of volunteers to form a steering group whose purposehas been to conductthe process,the outcome of which is this reportto you. The aims that haveguided the steeringgroup are: to recordan impressionof the communityof Hanborough to collect datareflectins the assetsand deficienciesof the community . to provide informationthat could be usedin making decisionsfor the benefit of the community During 1994 questionnaireswere delivered to virtually every household in Long Hanborough and Church Hanborough. The return was almost 80%, a tribute to your interest and participation. We hope that this report gives an insight into the views and wishesof the citizens of Hanborough. It reflects a variety of styles in keeping with the different contributors. It also containsmuch factualinformation which we hope will prove tusefuland interestin s.

Therewas a gravel pit eitherside of Church Road,the one on the westwos known as Tuckwellspit. Adjacent to North Leigtt Contrttortthere is a sevenacre field (alongsidethe A4095). This.fieldused to be known as HanboroughHeath and it was Queen Anne's Bounty. The rent collected.from thefanner cultivating the field was divided betweenthe poor and needyof the Parish of Hanborough. The rent still goes to Hanborough WelfareTrust. Theallotnrcnts, tlow betweenLong Hanboroughand the Cenrctery,were known as Martin's Piece[who was Martin?]. All the ground adiacentto thatfootpath betweenLong and Church Hanborough used to be allotrnents. There were also allotnrcnts down Millwood End. 4 HANBOROUGH Hanboroughin the county of Oxfordshireis locatedwithin the triangle formed by Witney, Woodstock and Oxford. By road it is approximately four miles to Witney and to Woodstockand nine miles to Oxford. There are two principal portions, the villages of Long Hanboroughand Church Hanborough,which ate a mile apart and lie on a low plateau. There are a few outlying parts,such as Mill Farn, CollegeFam, GooseEye and New Barn Farm to the eastof Lower Roadin the valley of the river Evenlode. Church Hanboroughis so called becauseit is that portion which contains the parish church, while Long Hanboroughgets its name not from it being a long and straggling village, which it is, but becauseit is that portion which lies at some distancefrom the parishchurch. Hanboroughis boundedby Combe to the north, Bladon on the east,Cassington on the south east,Eynsham on the south, Freelandon the west and North Leigh on the north west. There is one outstandingfeaftrre, the spire of the parish church,visible for miles around. 'Hanborough' The origin of the name may be attributable to the Saxon 'Hageneberga'which means'Hagen'sHill'. That this areahas been settled for a very long time is beyonddispute. However,now that its inhabitants al€ more numelous than at any time and there are signs of pressuresto increasesettlement here, Hanborough may need to look hatd at how it might develop. A growing senseof communitywill undoubtedlyassist that process.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

  • Excavations at Callow Hill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon
    Excavations at Callow H ill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon. By NICHOLAS THOMAS INTRODUCTION HE excavations described in this report were carried out by the Oxford University Archaeological Society in order to throw new light on the problemsT posed by the group of Roman villas that lies in the area defined by the north Oxfordshire Grim's Dyke. It was agreed that this could best be done by investigating the ditch which enclosed one of these villas-Callow Hill, 3! miles NW of Woodstock ( ational Grid: 42/40919s)-and the prominent earthworks immediately to the east of it. These earthworks appeared to have much in common with Grim's Dyke itself, which runs through Blenheim Park about one mile farther towards Woodstock. It was hoped that it would be possible to deduce some relationship, either chrono­ logical or political, between the villa at Callow Hill-and hence, to some extent, between the other villas hereabouts-and Grim's Dyke. The work was carried out during the first three weeks of September, 1950, under my direction, assisted by Mr. Alan Hunter.' No previous research had been undertaken at Callow Hill. The site has long been known because of the amount of Romano-British building debris and potsherds which lie about on the surface. In 1916 a floor was found, l The excavations were made possible by a grant of £30 from the Research Fund of the Oxford University Archaeological Society. Sincere thanks arc due to His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, Col. Sir Charles Ponsonby 8t., Mr. and Mrs. E. Tomkins, and Mr.
