  • Speech Made by Mervyn Hughes on the Unveiling of the Oxfordshire Blue Plaque at Wytham Woods on 7 October 2017
    The ffennell family and Wytham Woods Speech made by Mervyn Hughes on the unveiling of the Oxfordshire blue plaque at Wytham Woods on 7 October 2017 The Schumacher family had lived in the Brunswick part of Germany since at least the fifteenth century and always had important roles in the running of the area. August Schumacher was a Privy Councillor and worked for Frederick, Duke of Brunswick who was killed in the last battle before Waterloo. August fought for the Prussians at Waterloo in 1815. He belonged to the “Black Brunswickers”. August later married Fanny Marc in about 1823. One of their children was Erwin. His older sister married into the Wagau family which enabled Erwin to join the company, soon becoming a partner. The Wagau family had traded in Russia since 1839. Erwin moved to London and opened a Wagau office, then in 1903 he swore an “Oath of Allegiance” to the Crown. The company traded in “colonial and chemical” commodities, including Chinese tea, American cotton, West Indian sugar, and English wool. Every town or city had a Wagau agent, part of a huge network. At the outbreak of WW1 the company (in today’s money) was worth about 3 billion pounds. All of Erwin’s six children were born in London: Erwin (Junior), Raymond, Gladys, Walter, Vera, and Elsa. Raymond attended Harrow School and then spent a year in Russia with Wagau before moving to South Africa in 1894. This was a boom time for deep-level gold mining, mainly in the Jo’burg area. Raymond may have known about (or perhaps more than that) the ill-fated “Jameson Raid” in 1896.

  • Botley Character Statement West Way Community Concern
    Botley Character Statement West Way Community Concern 1 Contents A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement C. Headline Findings D. Location, Context and Layout E. Historical Development F. Character Areas 1. West Way 2. Old Botley 3. Seacourt 4. Westminster Way 5. Arthray Road 6. Cumnor Rise 7. North of West Way 8. Dean Court G. Sources Appendix A. Methodology 2 Section A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement Local residents and businesses in Botley have joined together to prepare this character statement as a result of concern that new development should respond positively to the area’s established positive character. Local and national planning policies require proposals for new development to take local character into account and respond positively to it in the design of new buildings and spaces and their use. However, defining what the positive features of local character are that should be sustained and what negative feature should be managed out through development is a fundamental stage in this design process and requires assessment, analysis and establishment of consensus. Character assessments are now being undertaken by various community groups, as well as local planning authorities to establish this consensus about what is valued in the character of local areas and neighbourhoods to inform planning for change. To support local communities in undertaking their own assessment of character a number of toolkits have been prepared with the assistance of CABE and English Heritage. These are a recognised means for community groups to prepare character assessments that are sufficiently robust and reliable to be informative for planning decisions.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
