For many hard workers on the holiday club team, led by Carrie O’Regan and Helen Boswell to whom I am very grateful, it will be a time of rest and regrouping, time to thank God for all that was good and to start thinking about next year. For myself August will mark a slightly earlier return to work than I had planned. When I came to this benefice six years ago, I expected that I would be here until I retired, however I believe that God is calling me to go to another church and people. During my study leave I didn’t go looking for a new job but find that it has found me. So I am returning early from my sabbatical study leave to help prepare the benefice for my departure. My leaving service will be on 21st October and I will be licensed as priest-in-charge of St. Mary’s Goldington, which is on the east of Bedford, at 7:30pm on Monday 5th November, when I hope the service will go off with a bang to mark this next phase of my ministry. I am full of mixed feelings, thinking about those who we will be leaving and who have become such parts of our lives and the excitement of new opportunities and new friends to be made at the new church. I hope many people will be able to come and join us for my licensing and stay in touch after the move. Between now and then life will be very busy for myself and for the wardens and PCC members as we make sure the benefice is ready for its new opportunities in the coming months. Meanwhile it is also business as usual in our churches, with a special Songs of Praise at St. Peter’s, Steane on 12th August and then we will be getting ready for our harvest celebrations in September, not forgetting the historic churches Ride and Stride on 9th September. This is a wonderful excuse to go and visit as many churches as possible in a day and raise money for your local church at the same time. Don’t forget if you get your house insured through Ecclesiastical Insurance Company who insures the church, then they will give £150 to your local church if you ask them to as they celebrate 150 years of insuring churches. What I have been reminded about this past month is that it is right and proper that we have and make our own plans, but that God also has plans for us and that we should be ready to listen to him and be willing to take the risk and follow his call. May God bless you one and all, Simon ********************************************************************************************************************** To Aynho Patients of the Deddington Health Centre I have received a letter from the Deddington Health Centre stating that as from August 1st they will no longer require the services of the persons who voluntarily collected and delivered prescriptions week by week to patients in our village.

  • 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’.

  • A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – Updated January 2017 Aynho Is a Two-Part Name
    A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – updated January 2017 Aynho is a two-part name - ‘Ayn’ is either a corruption of a Saxon personal name, or more likely the Saxon word for a spring or stream. The ‘Hoh’ is a Saxon word for a promontory/projecting ridge of land standing on a plain as Aynho does. The earliest mention (in the Domesday Book) of an owner of the manor of Aynho is Asgar - a Danish thane (knight). He was standard bearer for Edward the Confessor who reigned from 1042 to 1066. (Edward was born at Islip about fifteen miles south east of Aynho, so he probably knew Asgar). The entry showed 3¼ hides (about 400 acres altogether), land for 8 ploughs, a mill and 20 acres of meadow. Why was Aynho so relatively important in the mid-ten hundreds? Probably because of its location high up overlooking the whole Cherwell valley. There were very few significant houses in existence within a radius of twenty miles at that time, and it is believed that Aynho had a substantial wooden Saxon manor house then. For example Oxford Castle was not built until 1073, Banbury Castle 1135, Broughton Castle 1300, Rousham House 1635 and Upton House 1695. The first proper Oxford College, University College, wasn’t founded until1249. Apart from Aynho north of Oxford only Sulgrave Manor is recorded as having an Anglo-Saxon Manor House around the late 9th century. William the Conqueror gave the village to one of his barons, Geoffrey de Mandeville, for helping him win the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

    Village Square - Lower Aynho Grounds - Souldern Mill - Souldern Village - The Fox - Souldern Church - Aynho, Croughton Road - Village Square Leave the Village Square down Little Lane. At the bottom of the lane turn right and cross the main road with care. Take the footpath round into Station Road, following the sign for Deddington, and continue to the bottom of the hill. Turn left up the drive of Lower Aynho Grounds. Follow the drive with Aynho Park to your left over the wall. There are good views of Aynho Park House back over your left shoulder from certain points along this part of the track. After about half a mile, at the bottom of the hill, the drive curves to the right. The bridleway branches off to the left with parallel concrete wheel tracks indicating the route. The fence is on the right of the track. The track, known as Miller’s Lane, continues down to Souldern Mill where the stream crosses the track and it may be necessary to ford on the rare occasions when the water level is high. Souldern Village Souldern Manor, which you pass on your right, was built by Bernard Weedon in 1655 after he had pulled down an old Saxon Manor near the church. It has been restored and the grounds spectacularly redeveloped by the present owner. Half way along the main street on your right you will pass a narrow lane leading to a lovely old pub, The Fox. Pass through the village and turn left at the village pond. Take the road down to the church.

  • 4.0 Agricultural History and Farm Buildings the Existing Stock of Traditional Farm Buildings Results from Centuries of Change and Development
    4.0 Agricultural History and Farm Buildings The existing stock of traditional farm buildings results from centuries of change and development. As a general rule, farmhouses (see 5.1) pre-date farm buildings, even in areas of 18th- and 19th-century enclosure. Larger-scale and higher-status buildings, which were consistently used for the same purpose or capable of being adapted to later uses, generally have the greatest chance of survival. It follows that barns are the overwhelming type of building to have survived from before 1750, and that steadings adapted or built anew in the later 18th and 19th centuries have retained evidence for a greater diversity of functions. Rates of survival differ both regionally and locally, but placing a building within its broad national and historical context will enable decisions on their wider value to be made. 4.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH comprised the foci of farmyards with ancillary buildings AGRICULTURAL HISTORY AND FARM that have been almost completely swept away, for which BUILDINGS:THEIR DEVELOPMENT, documentary but very little archaeological evidence SURVIVAL AND SIGNIFICANCE exists.The great cattle ranches (vaccaries) of the northern uplands have left no traces in terms of built 4.1.1 UP TO 1550 (Figures 10 & 11) fabric, although their impact on the landscape is still The 12th and 13th centuries were characterised by rising legible.
