The cards can be downloaded from www.faringdon.org/llwalkcards.htm. The warm, honey coloured coral-rich grit stone from the Golden Ridge was used for many of the traditional buildings in the town. Faringdon is also famous among geologists for another stone - the Faringdon sponge gravel which contains fossilised sponges. The Oxfordshire Geology Trust has a map and description on its website of three sites in the town where specimens of this stone may be seen (www.oxfordshiregt.org/faringdon.htm). For further information about the local history and archaeology of Faringdon, the Faringdon History Society’s website can be seen at www.faringdon.org/hysoc.htm. Longworth, also aligned along the A420 and the Golden Ridge to the east of Faringdon, has a thriving Local History Society which is featured on page 4 of this Newsletter. 1 Oxfordshire Local History News - Issue 125 Oxfordshire Local History Association Contents page Chairman’s Musings …………………………….. 1 Officers and Committee Association News and Notices …………….......... 2 Tony Hadland : Chairman Spring Study Day and AGM …………………... 3 Norma Aubertin-Potter: Secretary Oxfordshire History Centre Update ………….…..4 Liz Woolley: Treasurer and Membership Secretary Berkshire Record Office Update ………………... 5 Chris Hall: Journal Editor News from the Victoria County History ………… 6 Vicky Jordan: Study Day Organiser Spotlight on Local Societies and Museums ……...7 Simon Townley (Victoria County History) Obituaries ………………………..……..………. 10 Malcolm Graham (ex Centre for Oxon Studies) OUDCE Courses ….. ……...………………..….. 11 Kathryn Davies (English Heritage) Notices of Events …………...…………...…..…. 12 Email Contact: New Publications ……...………...…………...… 13 Chairman: [email protected] Diary of Talks and Meetings .....………………. 15 Membership: [email protected] List of Local History Societies in Oxon ………...19 Journal: [email protected] Newsletter: [email protected] Study Day: [email protected] Notice is given that the Annual General Meeting of the Oxfordshire Local History Website : www.olha.org.uk Association will be held in the Old Manor at Mapledurham House on 18 May 2013 at 12 noon.

Saturday May 18 th 2013 For our Spring Study Day we will be looking at water power , and in particular watermills . The day will be unusual on three counts – we will have talks in the afternoon, not morning; it will be a joint meeting; the Annual General Meeting will be at lunch time. Our venue is also unusual, the secluded Mapledurham estate, which is a fascinating House, mill and village on the banks of the Thames, with the Chiltern hills as a backdrop. We will be exploring the last working watermill on the Thames at Mapledurham, where flour is still ground and can be bought in the shop. There has been a mill here since the fifteenth century, the present building dating from a little later, and the miller, Cory Starling, will explain its history, and its working. A modern use of water power from the Thames is the turbine powered by an Archimedes screw, installed in 2011, to generate electricity which is sold to a large store in Reading. The number of units generated is displayed outside. Mapledurham House, the home of the recusant Blount (now Eyston) family, was built four centuries ago adjacent to the fourteenth century Old Manor, now used as a tea room. On our private tour of the Elizabethan house our guide will show us the many family portraits, interesting furniture, original plaster ceilings and great oak staircase. Outside, the grounds stretch as far as you can see in all directions. The village has old flint and brick cottages and the church of St Margaret, which unusually has an aisle owned by the Catholic lord of the manor. The Annual General Meeting will be held in the Old Manor before lunch. Part of the estate is the Caversham Heath Golf Course, situated a mile or so from the house on a minor road. Picnic lunches can be eaten here, or at Mapledurham. The golf club has a very reasonable menu of sandwiches, paninis and other bar food as well as meals such as cottage pie or fish or pasta – if you order in advance you will save waiting. After lunch we will hear two experts on watermills and their importance in the economy of Oxfordshire and Berkshire - Dr Jonathan Brown from the Museum of English Rural Life and Dr Ron Cookson from the Mills Archive. The booking form enclosed with this Newsletter gives further details. On a fine day in May the estate of Mapledurham is idyllic, an oasis of peace, yet close to Reading. We hope to meet like-minded people from our neighbouring county to share knowledge and experiences. Places are limited, so please book early.
