History of Oxfordshire

by grayfo

Oxfordshire’s first archaeological evidence of human settlement and land use in the area dates back to the Neolithic period (4,000-3,500 BC). After the Roman invasion in 43AD there was an immediate impact on Oxfordshire. Alchester was established as a major military base, possibly as soon as 44AD this was due to its location at an important junction of routes, north-south from Chichester and Silchester to the Midlands, and east-west on Akeman Street from St Albans to Cirencester. Later in the 1st century Alchester and Dorchester were to develop into Oxfordshire’s first towns.

Useful websites

by toonsarah

Because the Cotswolds straddle several counties it can be hard to know where to go for information, but there are several good websites on the region. Interestingly, more than one of these claims to be the “official” website of the Cotswolds, but that aside, all have their useful points.www.the-cotswolds.org – written in English and Japanese, with an emphasis on practical information such as places to stay and attractionswww.cotswolds.info - particularly strong on external links to tour companies and attractions, and also on the history of the regionwww.cotswolds.org - has the usual sections on accommodation and attractions, but is also updated regularly with news and events, though its coverage of individual villages is less comprehensive than some of the other siteswww.cotswolds.com - one of several claiming to be the “official” website, but in my view less comprehensive than the...

History of the area: the wool trade and more

by toonsarah

Historically, the Cotswold Hills were a rich area, their wealth built on the wool trade. In medieval times the native sheep, the “Cotswold Lions”, were famous throughout Europe for their heavy golden fleeces and the superior quality of their wool. The abbeys and monasteries raised huge flocks of these sheep, and an active trade developed. At that time 50% of England's economy was due to wool. The Cotswold wool, being of such superior quality, commanded a high price, and the wealth generated by the wool trade enabled prosperous merchants to leave their mark by building fine houses and wonderful churches, known as “wool churches”, many of which remain to this day.Wool became so important to the British economy that an act was passed in the reign of King Charles II for the express purpose of increasing the consumption of English wool. This Burial in Wool Act (1667 & 1678) decreed that all...

Oxfordshire's bright yellow oil fields!

by aaaarrgh

Around early Summer, from April/May time, you will see a patchwork of brilliant yellow fields. These are crops of oilseed rape. The crop is used to make vegetable oil and also to prepare the field for the next crop, as part of a crop rotation system.It is something very typical of this part of the English Midlands and the Oxfordshire Downs As a trained Fine Artist, I am used to seeing the many colours that make up the beauty of our landscape. But you just cannot miss a brillant yellow field!! Or several.Get out your paintbox and capture this phenomenum :-)

Oxford, THE University-town

by Pavlik_NL

Everybody knows about the connection between Oxford and university. Though many will tell "it is NOT so" (me included) one might say that Oxford is THE university-town of our world. It is almost a synonym and though not the oldest (Paris' Sorbonne and Spanish Salamanca were just a few years earlier). Doesn't take away the fact that everybody knows that Oxford is the most well-known throughout the globe.My cousin, who studied here (and so is a real Oxford-man, showed us around and gave us several inside-views. If possible, try to do the same with someone who studies here (there are guided tours!). This way, you're always in for some nice surprises. Well, euh ... back with my car we found a parkingticket as for the fact that we were ten minutes late (overdue the actual paid time). The memory of th shock was not pleasant, but the one after my cousins remark "your foreign, so you don't have...

Radcliffe Camera

by Cool-123

Probably England's earliest example of a round library. Built ;in the mid-eighteenth century to house a medical library donated by the famous physician Dr. Radcliffe. It is now a reading room for undergraduates, and is not open to the public.

Oxford Castle

by Cool-123

Although there is very little left of Oxford Castle (the Castle Mound, St. George's Tower, the chapel crypt and well chamber), it played an important role in the city's history. It was built by Robert d'Oilly in 1071 as a royal residence and administrative centre.

Carfax Tower

by Cool-123

This tower is the remain of St. Martin's, the first city church. On the east facade the Church clock is adorned by two "quarter boys", who hit the bells at every "quater" of the hour. Climb the tower (99 steps) for a marvellous view across Oxford. Last entry 30 mins before closing.

by JennyLuker

Go there at the beginning of October. One weekend in October, (normally the 2nd in the month) is when all the new under-grads Matriculate (swear in to the uni). If you position yourself at the Cornmarket end of Broad street, you can happily watch lots of fresh faced students being paraded through town with black gowns and mortar boards! Living in student digs in 140 Kingston road. Belated apologies to our neighbours for the parties!

Take it easy and look around. ...

by Packerman

Take it easy and look around. Enjoy the scenery and architecture. The public isn't allowed to go into this building which is a library for college students, it's called the Radcliff. Go by it though, it looks very interesting.
