  • 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.

  • Charney Bassett Water Mill
    Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series Charney Bassett Water Mill by Daphne Jones Charney Bassett being one of the villages on the River Ock has had a watermill since the 12th century, but apart from a mention in the 16th century, little is known of its past history. For some time the Manor had been part of the Pusey Estates which, on being sold in 1909 to Berkshire County Council, was divided into smallholdings, the Mill with its attached cottage and land being one. The present building on the site near the church dates from the 19th century but the Mill has not been used since about 1915. Charney Bassett - c1890 - The Mill, view of rear, with mill pond, 4 adults 1 child. (v-cha003) The building deteriorated over the years, but the machinery remained intact, with the exception of the Breastshot waterwheel which most likely went for scrap. In 1974 Oxfordshire County Council took over the administration of the Estates and was interested in restoring the Mill as a Museum. A survey was done, money allocated and essential repairs carried out including treatment for woodworm. With the Council cutbacks late in 1976 the money was withdrawn and it looked as if the Mill would have to wait for its restoration. 1 In 1975 the then Wantage Industrial Archaeology Group (now Vale of White Horse I.A.G.) was started following an Evening Class course. We meet once a month having a varied programme of speakers, films, members’ evenings and outings. There is much to interest us in local industries and associated subjects in an essentially agricultural area.

  • Remembrance Lent Term 2020
    Remembrance Lent term 2020 My Fair Lady I’m sure that I speak for everyone involved in My Fair Lady when I say that it was an unforgettable experience for which I’m truly thankful. It is crazy to think that it all started back in September when a group of 42 students from different years and not really knowing each other came together to create the school musical. A few rehearsals and a lot of questionable cockney accents later, we soon found that we had produced something of which we could be truly proud. The cast and crew worked tirelessly to bring Miss Grandi’s unique and exciting vision for the show to life. Ms Rakowski and her wonderfully talented orchestra performed some of the most famous show tunes in musical theatre. The sumptuous costumes coupled with professional-standard staging, lighting and sound support combined to make this production really special. I feel so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful production with a talented group of people and so thankful for all of the friendships and lifelong memories that My Fair Lady has provided! It was truly unforgettable. Millie 11L Sporting success 6-7 Debating stars 4 Artistic partnerships 10-11 Across the generations Year 5 students have been learning about the history of St Helen and St Katharine. To enhance their letter-writing skills as well as understanding how to capture primary resources, they were asked to write a letter to an Old Girl. Many letters asked about uniform, what the food was like, and some seemed particularly keen to know what forms of punishment were given out in the past! The students were also proud to talk about which House they were in and how much they love Teasel the school dog.

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.
