  • 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.

Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

  • Manuscript Maps Belonging to St. John's College, Oxford
    Manuscript Maps belonging to St. John's College, Oxford By H. M. COLVIN LTHOUGH St. John's is not so rich in manuscript maps as some Oxford Acolleges,' there are in its muniment room over 60 maps relating to estates in ten different counties. Of these only three are of a date prior to 1700, but several of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century maps show unenclosed villages with their open fields, furlongs and yardlands, and No. 31 is remarkable as a survey of a manor drawn up , immediately after the Jury had fixed Land Marks throughout the Common Fields'. Enclosure maps are also well represented, and the successive stages in the enclosure of North Oxford and its subsequent development for building purposes are illustrated by a notable series of maps (Nos. 42-54) which have yet to be used by local historians. With the exception of No. I, none of the St. John's maps is of outstanding cartographical merit, but many of them are attractive specimens of the sur­ veyor's art, and nearly every one has some feature-whether scale, car touche, or merely the style of its lettering-which is ornamental in character. In preparing this list, the compiler has taken as his model the admirable Catalogue of Maps in the Essex Record Office (I947). The heading of each entry indicatcs the parish in which the estate mapped lies, followed by a verbatim transcript of the title of the map, and the name of the surveyor, if known. The size of the map is given in inches, the first figure indicating height, the second breadth.
