  • The Glyme Valley Way, Step by Step
    The Glyme Valley Way Step by step From Chipping Norton TO Woodstock, Oxfordshire detailed route description and practical information The Glyme Valley Way Step by Step page 2 The Glyme Valley Way step by step is a guide to help you navigate a historic trail that passes through some lovely countryside. The Way follows nearly stile-free public footpaths and bridleways from Chipping Norton to Woodstock and was devised by BBC Oxford and Oxfordshire County Council’s Countryside Service to mark celebrations in 2007 of 1,000 years of the County’s history. It crosses pleasant rolling country, fine parkland, and protected meadows. About 25 km or 16 miles long, its ascents total some 280 m/900 ft, and descents, 380 m/1,250 ft. At an average pace of 4km or 2½ miles per hour, it would take about 6½ hours to complete, excluding stops. This guide supplements a 2007 leaflet giving an overview of the Way: see endnote a. The Glyme Valley Way follows as closely as possible most of the course of the River Glyme, from near its source as far as the park at Woodstock’s Blenheim Palace. The Ancient Britons gave the river its name, which means “bright stream”; if the light is right, its clear waters certainly do justice to the description. The Glyme is a tributary of the River Evenlode, which runs into the Thames. It rises about a mile (1.6 km) east of Chipping Norton, close to Glyme Farm, and passing evidence of thousands of years of our history, meanders in a south-easterly direction to Old Chalford, Enstone, Kiddington, Glympton, Wootton and Woodstock.

  • 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).
