    REVIEWS Joan Dils and Margaret Yates (eds.), An Historical Atlas of Berkshire, 2nd edition (Berkshire Record Society), 2012. Pp. xii + 174. 164 maps, 31 colour and 9 b&w illustrations. Paperback. £20 (plus £4 p&p in UK). ISBN 0-9548716-9-3. Available from: Berkshire Record Society, c/o Berkshire Record Offi ce, 9 Coley Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 6AF. During the past twenty years the historical atlas has become a popular means through which to examine a county’s history. In 1998 Berkshire inspired one of the earlier examples – predating Oxfordshire by over a decade – when Joan Dils edited an attractive volume for the Berkshire Record Society. Oxoniensia’s review in 1999 (vol. 64, pp. 307–8) welcomed the Berkshire atlas and expressed the hope that it would sell out quickly so that ‘the editor’s skills can be even more generously deployed in a second edition’. Perhaps this journal should modestly refrain from claiming credit, but the wish has been fulfi lled and a second edition has now appeared. Th e new edition, again published by the Berkshire Record Society and edited by Joan Dils and Margaret Yates, improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. Advances in digital technology have enabled the new edition to use several colours on the maps, and this helps enormously to reveal patterns and distributions. As before, the volume has benefi ted greatly from the design skills of the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. Some entries are now enlivened with colour illustrations as well (for example, funerary monuments, local brickwork, a workhouse), which enhance the text, though readers could probably have been left to imagine a fl ock of sheep grazing on the Downs.

  • Clifton Past and Present
    Clifton Past and Present L.E. Gardner, 1955 Clifton, as its name would imply, stands on the side of a hill – ‘tun’ or ‘ton’ being an old Saxon word denoting an enclosure. In the days before the Norman Conquest, mills were grinding corn for daily bread and Clifton Mill was no exception. Although there is no actual mention by name in the Domesday Survey, Bishop Odo is listed as holding, among other hides and meadows and ploughs, ‘Three Mills of forty one shillings and one hundred ells, in Dadintone’. (According to the Rev. Marshall, an ‘ell’ is a measure of water.) It is quite safe to assume that Clifton Mill was one of these, for the Rev. Marshall, who studied the particulars carefully, writes, ‘The admeasurement assigned for Dadintone (in the survey) comprised, as it would seem, the entire area of the parish, including the two outlying townships’. The earliest mention of the village is in 1271 when Philip Basset, Baron of Wycomb, who died in 1271, gave to the ‘Prior and Convent of St Edbury at Bicester, lands he had of the gift of Roger de Stampford in Cliftone, Heentone and Dadyngtone in Oxfordshire’. Another mention of Clifton is in 1329. On April 12th 1329, King Edward III granted a ‘Charter in behalf of Henry, Bishop of Lincoln and his successors, that they shall have free warren in all their demesne, lands of Bannebury, Cropperze, etc. etc. and Clyfton’. In 1424 the Prior and Bursar of the Convent of Burchester (Bicester) acknowledged the receipt of thirty-seven pounds eight shillings ‘for rent in Dadington, Clyfton and Hampton’.

  • Agricultural Progress in Open.Field Oxfordshire T
    Agricultural Progress in Open.field Oxfordshire t. By M. A. HAVINDEN T is customary to regard open-field agriculture as backward and static, and consequently it is difficult to believe that any serious farming pro- I gress can have been made within the confines of such an unwieldy sys- tem. It is true that by modern standards progress was slow. But progress is a relative concept, and although the pace of development within open-field agriculture may seem snail-like to us, when it is seen in its historical context it is less unimpressive. Particularly is this so when it is realized that many of the most important advances in open-field farming were made before the idea of agricultural progress became fashionable in the mid-eighteenth century. In recent years the crucM importance of the seventeenth century as the germinative period for agricultural improvement has become appreciated? While the most distinctive changes took place in enclosed regions, like East Anglia, improvement was not confined to such regions. There was an ad- vance along the whole agricultural front in the seventeenth century, on open- field as well as on enclosed farms. Indeed, it may well be, as H. L. Gray was the first to suggest, that this early progress on open-field farms was one of the chief reasons why enclosure was delayed for so long in Midland counties ): like Oxfordshire. ~ As late as z8o 9 Arthur Young was complaining that there were still nearly a hundred unenclosed townships in the county2 In the seventeenth century Oxfordshire was, with the exception of a small area of Chiltern country in the extreme south, an almost entirely open-field i¢ii county; but this does not mean that it was an isolated backwater of subsis- tence farming.

  • Where Was Banbury Cross?
    Where was Banbury Cross? By P. D. A. HARVEY HERE is nothing for which Banbury is more famous than for its Cross, and it is strange that it should still be possible to question the conclusions ofT any of the town's historians as to where this Cross stood. But between them there is agreement only that the town's principal cross or crosses had been destroyed by its inhabitants' puritan zeal in the early 17th century, so that Richard Corbet, writing between 1618 and 1621, saw only their bases , like old stumps of Trees'.' By the time historians tried to identify the site of the cross commemorated in one famous and several lesser nursery rbymes' all traces had vanished, so that written records formed the only evidence. The first to attempt the task was Alfred Beesley, whose History of Banbury was completed in I 84l.J He placed 'the principal Cross at Banbury ' unequivocally in the Horse Fair, but added that there were other crosses within the borough and mentions references to the 'Highe Crosse', the , Market Cross " the' Bread Cross ' and' the White Cross without Sugarford Bar'. In a footnote he identified the 17th-century Breadcross Street with the western part of High Street and suggested that the Bread Cross stood near its west end, concluding' It is quite possible that this was the same with the .. Banbury Cross" first mentioned'.. One result of Beesley'S argument was the location of the present cross, built in the Horse Fair in 1859.5 Another was an incident related by George Herbert in bis reminis­ cences of Banbury: when trees were being planted in the Horse Fair in 1885 the street's oldest inhabitant asked to be allowed to plant the one at the corner (presumably of Horse Fair and High Street), explaining 'I have always thought that was where the original Cross stood ' .6 A grant from the Univenity of Southampton towards the publication of thU paper is gratefully acknowledged.
