  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • 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.

  • George Edmund Street
    DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE WORK BY ONE OF THE GREATEST VICTORIAN ARCHITECTS? George Edmund Street Diocesan Church Building Society, and moved to Wantage. The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.

  • Service Destination Where to Catch Your
    The table below shows proposed new bus stop locations for buses serving the city centre. These changes are part of our proposals to pedestrianise Queen Street to improve the street for pedestrians. The table gives details of the main services affected. If there is a service that is not listed and you would like more details then please contact Ian Williams (E: [email protected], T: 01865815548). Please note, in this proposal the X3 will no longer service the railway station but will instead merge with the X13 to provide a service from Abingdon to the JR Hospital every 10 minutes. The X2 would be extended to Oxford Railway Station, providing a service between the station and Abingdon.
