  • Pilgrimage to Binsey: Medieval and Modern
    Binsey: Oxford’s Holy Place edited by Lydia Carr, Russell Dewhurst and Martin Henig Archaeopress 2014, pages 81-88 PILGRIMAGE TO BINSEY: MEDIEVAL AND MODERN LYDIA CARR Binsey’s holy well, with its literary and spiritual overtones, represents a key attraction of the little church for the modern visitor. In this brief essay, the broad history of pilgrimage in England is considered before approaching Binsey’s own post-Reformation history. Others have dealt with the history of St Margaret’s Well authoritatively in this volume; little of value can be added here to these excellent historical and archaeological syntheses. PILGRIMAGE IN ENGLAND: SACRED SPRINGS The attitude of the present English church towards holy wells is a peculiar one. Where other nations attempted to ‘reform’ away all trace of superstitious water, or else ‘Lourdize’ springs into a holy business enterprise, England’s wells still remain under the radar for many sections of her national church. The suspicious whiff of Popery or rural ignorance that hung about such waters was dealt with in the past by dismissing it as superstition, or by transforming wells into semi-medical spas as at Bath and Harrogate. Traces, where they remained, of a more spiritual aspect to the ‘cure’ were discouraged. It is typical of the Anglican Church’s desire to avoid extremes whenever possible, and of its dry urbanity when faced with enthusiasm. This distaste does not necessarily represent a lack of faith, but a discomfort with its public expression.1 Matters were different prior to the Reformation. Pilgrimages were a popular activity in medieval England, whether they took the traveller to Jerusalem or to Canterbury.

  • Sustainable and Resilient Catchments “Everywhere the Availability of Freshwater Is Becoming Increasingly Unpredictable and Uncertain”
    Sustainable and Resilient Catchments “Everywhere the availability of freshwater is becoming increasingly unpredictable and uncertain” David Attenborough Catchment Management Stantec’s approach The aspirations of the Governments 25-Year Environment Plan mark a shift in how we manage both urban and rural landscapes, promoting a more holistic “Catchment Based Approach” working with natural processes and in partnership with the local community. Catchments present the natural unit to identify synergies across different sector plans to align opportunities and realise wider environmental and the community benefits. Natural Capital accounting provides a useful basis to quantify the balance between more traditional engineered and catchment-based solutions for delivering a range of ecosystem services. This brochure sets out our approach to catchment management along with some of the key services we offer. Systems based thinking from source to sea Stantec has the technical expertise to bring together the multiple disciplined teams necessary to adopt a truly integrated approach to catchment management, from source to sea. Our engineers, scientists and economists work alongside clients, across different sectors, and in partnership with local third sector and community groups to develop, deliver and evaluate catchment management solutions. Stantec adopt an ecosystem services led approach, underpinned by Natural Capital accounting that recognises, and where possible monetises, the wider environmental and social benefits of working to enhance natural processes. This collaborative approach, equally applicable across urban and rural landscapes, is essential to develop sustainable solutions to mitigate the risks and pressures on the water environment. 2 Stantec Catchment Management 3 Managing upstream risks Stantec has one of the most well-established water management teams in the UK, with experience working across all the water companies on all aspects of surface and ground water resources and water quality management.

  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

  • A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A
    A brief history of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and why their plant communities changed over the last 90 years A. W McDonald Summary A multidisciplinary approach to landscape history enabled the examination of botanical, hydrological and agricultural data spanning some 4,000 years. The results showed Bronze Age humans affecting the vegetation by pasturing cattle on the floodplain extending from Yarnton to Oxford. In the Iron Age pastoralists were over-grazing Port Meadow and, between the sixth and ninth centuries, part of the floodplain was set aside for a hay crop whilst the aftermath or second grass crop continued to be shared as pasture. By Domesday floodplain meads were the most expensive land recorded in this survey and Port Meadow was established as common land belonging to Oxford. Having discussed the soil and water conditions on the floodplain and its potential effect on the plant communities, the management history of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common is followed by that of Picksey Mead. Finally, the plant communities are discussed. Those established in 1981/2 are compared with data sets for the early 1920s and for 1996-2006. Changes in the species composition between sites are due to different management regimes and those over time and within sites are attributed to changes in the water-table. Introduction The Oxford grassland comprises common pasture and mead situated on alluvium over limestone gravel. It is unusual for its four thousand years of management history and evidence for the effect this has had on the vegetation. Sited in the upper Thames valley, within three miles of Oxford City centre, Port Meadow (325 acres/132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (75 acres/30.4 ha) (Figure 1 and Figure 2) are known locally as the Meadow, even though they are pasture1.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.
