  • Mega-Footpath Problems

    Mega-Footpath Problems

    MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face.

  • Compendium of World War Two Memories

    Compendium of World War Two Memories

    World War Two memories Short accounts of the wartime experiences of individual Radley residents and memories of life on the home front in the village Compiled by Christine Wootton Published on the Club website in 2020 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two Party to celebrate VJ Day in August 1946 Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was on 8 August 1945. It's likely the party shown in the photograph above was held in Lower Radley in a field next to the railway line opposite the old village hall. Club member Rita Ford remembers a party held there with the little ones in fancy dress, including Winston Churchill and wife, a soldier and a Spitfire. The photograph fits this description. It's possible the party was one of a series held after 1945 until well into the 1950s to celebrate VE Day and similar events, and so the date of 1946 handwritten on the photograph may indeed be correct. www.radleyhistoryclub.org.uk ABOUT THE PROJECT These accounts prepared by Club member and past chairman, Christine Wootton, have two main sources: • recordings from Radley History Club’s extensive oral history collection • material acquired by Christine during research on other topics. Below Christine explains how the project came about. Some years ago Radley resident, Bill Small, gave a talk at the Radley Retirement Group about his time as a prisoner of war. He was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk and the 80th anniversary reminded me that I had a transcript of his talk. I felt that it would be good to share his experiences with the wider community and this set me off thinking that it would be useful to record, in an easily accessible form, the wartime experiences of more Radley people.

The Vale of White Horse District Council have adopted their Local Plan Part 1 for the period up to 2031. Part 2 of the Plan has an enormous impact on our Parish with the Vale seeking to remove all of Shippon from the Green Belt and planning to develop Dalton Barracks and the airfield to accommodate up to 4,000+ new homes. Taking the lead from the very strong views expressed at a public consultation we held in April last year, we will be opposing Part 2 of the Plan when it is considered by the planning inspector later this year.
  • The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5)

    The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5)

    Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5) - Incomes in Tudor Berkshire: A Recapitulation by Lis Garnish A well reasoned counter argument is always useful in research, calling for a reappraisal of the evidence and possibly opening up new and profitable lines of thought. Having written an initial article in "Oxfordshire Local History" on the 1522 Muster Certificate for west Berkshire (1), and a follow up one suggesting that the figures for “goods” were income rather than capital (2), I was pleased to see Simon Kemp’s article in reply (3). However, I finished reading the item with a sense of disappointment and confusion. Disappointment because he had produced very little in the way of extra evidence from the west Berkshire area, and confusion because he seemed to be countering propositions which I had not made. Kemp's article seems to contain two main lines of argument. Firstly, that the figures for “goods” given in the 1522 Muster Certificate were for “total wealth”, not income, and secondly that the comparison I made with later probate inventories was unjustified. If he had confined himself to the second argument he might have had a valid point. The comparison was a speculative one in an attempt to set the figures in a wider context, although in the absence of other hard evidence I feel it was justifiable to try to draw some conclusions. However, his case for “goods” being capital, as opposed to income, does not seem to have been made. Kemp's first criticism seems to be that two lists were required from the Muster Commissioners, that these were to be separate and that I have ignored this evidence (3).
