From South Hinksey Parish Plan Progress Report, April 2006
from www.southhinksey.co.uk South Hinksey Parish Plan Progress Report, April 2006 Action 1: Reduce A34 Probably the most requested action. This is constantly under road noise. discussion, with little success so far. Action 2: Improve safety The Parish Council now participate in the local transport group at slip-roads to with the police and neighbouring councils. The Chair of our A34 Parish Council has been very active in putting forward our concerns. Action 3: Reduce traffic New road markings on the Hill have not really solved the speed on Hinksey problem. Cats-eyes in the road have simply created a new Hill noise problem as large vehicles have to rumble over them. Action 4: Reduce the risk The Flood group has made progress with action taken by the of flooding railway authority to clear drain blockages and clearance of ditches and underground pipes in the village. In the last very heavy downpour there was no flooding in the village. Unfortunately the proposed bund around the village has been abandoned because the Environment Agency could not justify the high expenditure. Action 5: Improve and We have managed to get limited road repairs done in the repair roads, pavements village. Cutting back of overhanging hedges and removal of and footpaths litter particularly on Hinksey Hill has also been done. More pavement and road repairs are needed. Action 6: Improve parking Parking in the village has actually become more of a problem in the village since the pub car park has been fenced off. We are still working on this. Action 7: Upgrade bridge Network Rail have agreed to construct a "Wheelie ramp" on to New Hinksey to the Devil’s Backbone bridge improve cycle access Action 8: Create new We are working with Sustrans, the national cycle network, on cycling and walking establishing new cycle trails throughout the parish. -
Luis Venegas What to Read, Watch, Listen To, and Know About to Become a Bullet-Proof Style Expert
KUltur kriTik SChOol of FasHion Vol. 1: LuiS VEnegas What to read, watch, listen to, and know about to become a bullet-proof style expert.

He produces and publishes three magazines that, though they have small print runs, have a near-religious following: the six-year-old Fanzine 137 – a compendium of everything Venegas cares about, Electric Youth (EY!) Magateen – an oversized cornucopia of adolescent boyflesh started in 2008, and the high- ly lauded Candy – the first truly queer fashion magazine on the planet, which was launched last year. His all-encompassing, erudite view of the fashion universe is the foundation for Venegas’ next big project: the fashion academy he plans to start in 2011. It will be a place where people, as he says, “who are interested in fashion learn about certain key moments from history, film and pop culture.” To get a preview of the curriculum at Professor Venegas’ School of Fashion, Suleman Anaya paid Venegas a visit at his apartment in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña, a wonderful space that overflows with the collected objects of his boundless curiosity.

Brightwell Baldwin Community History and Archaeology Project
South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group Project Design South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group in association with the Oxfordshire Buildings Trust Project design for a research excavation on the presumed site of the 17th century ASCOTT MANOR HOUSE ASCOTT PARK Stadhampton, Oxfordshire 2018-20 Ian Clarke and Roelie Reed SUMMARY Ascott Park was once a country seat of the Dormer family who resided there for many generations. William Dormer (d.1683) commissioned a new manor house and extensive remodelling of the grounds c.1660 but the house burnt down in 1662 when close to completion and was never occupied. Despite much recent research and fieldwork by and for the Oxfordshire Buildings Trust, culminating in an excavation in 2009 on the ‘traditional’ site of the 1662 house, its location remains disputed and unconfirmed. A geophysical survey by the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group in 2013 determined that the ‘traditional’ site is still by far the most likely location, and following a critical review of the earlier fieldwork, an alternative interpretation of the archaeology was proposed that supports that conclusion. This project design outlines a further excavation to try to prove ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ that William Dormer’s new house was built on the ‘traditional site’ and that the archaeology on that site is what remains of that house. 1 LOCATION AND CONTEXT 1.1 Ascott Park is centred at SU 611 981, close to the village of Stadhampton and about 12km south-east of Oxford. The park is on the Historic England (HE) Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, registered Grade II. Various buildings and structures are also listed Grade II or II* including a dovecot and a ‘granary/icehouse’, the latter also being a Scheduled Monument. -
