  • Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire
    Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire By B. J. ENRIGHT INthe English Topographer, published in 1720, Richard Rawlinson described the manuscript and printed sources from which a history of Oxfordshire might be compiled and declared regretfully, ' of this County .. we have as yet no perfect Description.' He hastened to add in that mysteriously weH­ informed manner which invariably betokened reference to his own activities: But of this County there has been, for some Years past, a Description under Consideration, and great Materials have been collected, many Plates engraved, an actual Survey taken, and Quaeries publish'd and dispers'd over the County, to shew the Nature of the Design, as well to procure Informations from the Gentry and others, which have, in some measure, answer'd the Design, and encouraged the Undertaker to pursue it with all convenient Speed. In this Work will be included the Antiquities of the Town and City of Oxford, which Mr. Anthony d l-Vood, in Page 28 of his second Volume of Athenae Oxonienses, &c. promised, and has since been faithfully transcribed from his Papers, as well as very much enJarg'd and corrected from antient Original Authorities. I At a time when antiquarian studies were rapidly losing their appeal after the halcyon days of the 17th-century,' this attempt to compile a large-scale history of a county which had received so little attention caUs for investigation. In proposing to publish a history of Oxfordshirc at this time, Rawlinson was being far less unrealistic thall might at first appear. For

Yet sometimes it’s not the craftsmanship but the atmosphere that fires the imagination – the way windows scatter gems of light on an old tiled floor, or the peace of a quiet corner that has echoed with prayer for centuries. All the churches in this leaflet have been saved by The Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust is a charity that cares for more than 340 churches in England.

The former manor house and parochial chapel lie isolated from the village ½ mile to the north. Until its incorporation into Crowmarsh in 1932 the ancient parish of Newnham Murren stretched for 9.5 km from the river Thames in the west to the Chiltern hills in the east, traversing the whole width of Langtree hundred, and covering 1,852 acres.1 Settlement was scattered, but mostly concentrated in the village by Wallingford bridge; the parish boundary there ran along the village street, separating houses belonging to Newnham (on the street’s south side) from those of Crowmarsh Gifford on the north. Despite that division, for most practical purposes the village formed a single community with a shared identity, shaped by (but largely distinct from) the neighbouring town of Wallingford.2 By contrast Inhabitants of the parish’s upland hamlets and farmsteads forged links with neighbouring Chiltern communities such as Nuffield and Stoke Row, a division formalized in the Middle Ages by the creation of separate tithing groups for the parish’s householders on either side of the Chiltern scarp.3 The suffix Murren, recalling Newnham’s 12th- and early 13th-century lords, was added to the place name during the Middle Ages, distinguishing it from Nuneham Courtenay. Earlier, Newnham was sometimes identified by its proximity to Crowmarsh or Wallingford.4 Until the 20th century the parish was a chapelry of North Stoke 2.5 km to the south.

Less than half of them held directly of the lord, the rest being tenants of mesne lords including Richard Morin, Geoffrey English, and several religious houses.5 Contemporary charters suggest that complex subletting was widespread, with some subtenants owing rents and light labour services.6 Social divisions between the parish’s village and upland communities may have been amplified by the 12th- and 13th-century fragmentation of the manor.
