Henry Taunt Manuscript and Printed Works The Henry Taunt Collection at Oxfordshire History Centre, in addition to his photographic images, contains a range of his printed (published) and manuscript works. Taunt wrote for pleasure and also for profit, passing on his enthusiasm and widening the market for his photographs. He published over 50 titles, many of which ran to several editions, and he planned lots more which never got beyond typed or hand-written drafts. The river Thames, local history, architecture, customs, comets - all sorts of subjects interested him! Apart from those items with a ‘Bodleian’ or other shelfmark in italic text, all these works can be consulted at Oxfordshire History Centre. Please quote the Shelfmark when requesting either printed works or manuscript works for consultation at the Centre. Bodleian Library items are only available at the Department of Special and Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University.

    Kemble Church Before 1876 and the Restoration: As Seen in Images by John Buckler, HE Relton, Henry Taunt and an Anonymous 19Thc Watercolourist

    Kemble Church Before 1876 and the Restoration: As seen in images by John Buckler, HE Relton, Henry Taunt and an Anonymous 19thc Watercolourist. John Buckler 1809 In 1809 John Buckler (1770-1851) painted a watercolour of the church from the SE which is in the collection of the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. Shortly after 1800 John Buckler was commissioned by Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead to produce ten volumes of drawings of churches and other historic buildings in Wiltshire. He painted all the Wiltshire churches and there are paintings of Poole Keynes, Somerford Keynes and Shorncote which were then in Wiltshire. This is the earliest image of the church. There are three main differences with the church today. Firstly, the tower windows have changed. This is the result of repairs to the spire and tower after it was damaged by lightning in 1823. The squared off eastern lancet window and the metal bracing are there today and were there in the print by HE Relton in 1843. Secondly, the windows in the Chancel, especially the east window, appear to be Perpendicular in style like those in the Ewen Aisle, however in the watercolour of the interior makes the window look earlier of the Decorated Style. In the restoration of 1876-7 they were replaced in the Early English style. Finally, the porch looks to be a bit askew. This will be obvious in the prints by Relton. H. E. Relton 1843 These two prints are from ‘Sketches of Churches, with Short Descriptions’ by H. E. Relton; London (1843). He visited quite a few churches in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Berkshire and he wrote a few notes on each of the churches.

    Pilgrimage to Binsey: Medieval and Modern

    Binsey: Oxford’s Holy Place edited by Lydia Carr, Russell Dewhurst and Martin Henig Archaeopress 2014, pages 81-88 PILGRIMAGE TO BINSEY: MEDIEVAL AND MODERN LYDIA CARR Binsey’s holy well, with its literary and spiritual overtones, represents a key attraction of the little church for the modern visitor. In this brief essay, the broad history of pilgrimage in England is considered before approaching Binsey’s own post-Reformation history. Others have dealt with the history of St Margaret’s Well authoritatively in this volume; little of value can be added here to these excellent historical and archaeological syntheses. PILGRIMAGE IN ENGLAND: SACRED SPRINGS The attitude of the present English church towards holy wells is a peculiar one. Where other nations attempted to ‘reform’ away all trace of superstitious water, or else ‘Lourdize’ springs into a holy business enterprise, England’s wells still remain under the radar for many sections of her national church. The suspicious whiff of Popery or rural ignorance that hung about such waters was dealt with in the past by dismissing it as superstition, or by transforming wells into semi-medical spas as at Bath and Harrogate. Traces, where they remained, of a more spiritual aspect to the ‘cure’ were discouraged. It is typical of the Anglican Church’s desire to avoid extremes whenever possible, and of its dry urbanity when faced with enthusiasm. This distaste does not necessarily represent a lack of faith, but a discomfort with its public expression.1 Matters were different prior to the Reformation. Pilgrimages were a popular activity in medieval England, whether they took the traveller to Jerusalem or to Canterbury.

    Sustainable and Resilient Catchments “Everywhere the Availability of Freshwater Is Becoming Increasingly Unpredictable and Uncertain”

    Sustainable and Resilient Catchments “Everywhere the availability of freshwater is becoming increasingly unpredictable and uncertain” David Attenborough Catchment Management Stantec’s approach The aspirations of the Governments 25-Year Environment Plan mark a shift in how we manage both urban and rural landscapes, promoting a more holistic “Catchment Based Approach” working with natural processes and in partnership with the local community. Catchments present the natural unit to identify synergies across different sector plans to align opportunities and realise wider environmental and the community benefits. Natural Capital accounting provides a useful basis to quantify the balance between more traditional engineered and catchment-based solutions for delivering a range of ecosystem services. This brochure sets out our approach to catchment management along with some of the key services we offer. Systems based thinking from source to sea Stantec has the technical expertise to bring together the multiple disciplined teams necessary to adopt a truly integrated approach to catchment management, from source to sea. Our engineers, scientists and economists work alongside clients, across different sectors, and in partnership with local third sector and community groups to develop, deliver and evaluate catchment management solutions. Stantec adopt an ecosystem services led approach, underpinned by Natural Capital accounting that recognises, and where possible monetises, the wider environmental and social benefits of working to enhance natural processes. This collaborative approach, equally applicable across urban and rural landscapes, is essential to develop sustainable solutions to mitigate the risks and pressures on the water environment. 2 Stantec Catchment Management 3 Managing upstream risks Stantec has one of the most well-established water management teams in the UK, with experience working across all the water companies on all aspects of surface and ground water resources and water quality management.

Methodology 2 Section A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement Local residents and businesses in Botley have joined together to prepare this character statement as a result of concern that new development should respond positively to the area’s established positive character. Local and national planning policies require proposals for new development to take local character into account and respond positively to it in the design of new buildings and spaces and their use. However, defining what the positive features of local character are that should be sustained and what negative feature should be managed out through development is a fundamental stage in this design process and requires assessment, analysis and establishment of consensus. Character assessments are now being undertaken by various community groups, as well as local planning authorities to establish this consensus about what is valued in the character of local areas and neighbourhoods to inform planning for change. To support local communities in undertaking their own assessment of character a number of toolkits have been prepared with the assistance of CABE and English Heritage. These are a recognised means for community groups to prepare character assessments that are sufficiently robust and reliable to be informative for planning decisions.

For some months coronavirus has prevented our meeting together in a building, with a gradual relaxation of restrictions followed by another national lockdown. Although services in church buildings are permitted, it has not seemed sensible for us to do this, However, we are continuing with worshipping together in our virtual worship services and activities. When services in our local church buildings resume, our priority will be to keep everyone as safe as we can and so we shall keep the recommendations to close for 72 hours between uses to ensure the coronavirus is not viable if present. We shall also keep strictly to the 2m social distancing guidelines which significantly reduces the number of people or family bubbles each building can hold at any one time. If you are able to do so, we are asking you to let us know in advance if you intend to join us for worship to help us plan and manage each service as safely as we can. At present all our face to face services are ‘said’ services until restrictions on singing are relaxed.

Ed Peveler Page 1 Review of the last Zoom talk on 26th April 2021 "PAGANS AND PURITANS" a talk given by Tim Healey From the Roman goddess Flora to the May Queen over two millennia, with side helpings of religion, ‘moorish’ dancing and alcohol, Tim’s talk was both illuminating and generously illuminated. The apparent simplicity of the celebration of the Rights of Spring was shown in fact to involve complexity and contradiction together with surprising connectivity over the centuries. Until the mid 18th century May time revels were always controversial even to the Chancellor of Oxford in 1250 prohibiting processions and dancing in Churches together with the display of garlands; oh the malign effect of flower power! The running duel between revellers and their adversaries reached its peak in 1644 when Parliament, following the Westminster Assembly of Divines (religious ministers, not politicians!) banned the maypole and subsequently all celebrations.
