SUMMARY:Tour of Rhodes House
DESCRIPTION:This tour has been arranged by Charles Baker\, who was the Trust’s President (2021-2022).  He is the grandson of Sir Herbert Baker\, the architect of the original Rhodes House buildings.  The Oxford home of the Rhodes Trust\, a fine Grade II* listed building\, was built in the 1920s. It has just undergone a substantial renovation with the clever addition of new space in a basement and in the gardens. This tour will be a delight for all with an interest in 20th– and 21st-century architecture. Afternoon tea is included. \nCharles writes: \n“Do come and join us. We shall be one of the first groups to visit after the major transformation project that is currently underway. This will enable Rhodes House Trust to expand its celebrated global scholarship programme by providing much-needed convening facilities\, new offices\, and residential accommodation. I am particularly keen to see how they have updated and respected the work of the original architect 100 years ago.” \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea. \nIf all the available places are taken\, and you are disappointed\, do please email Charles Baker to say how many tickets you would like\, and if there is sufficient demand\, we shall try to arrange a repeat of this tour. \nPlease note that nearby parking is very limited and that the building is being made easily accessible for all. \nCredit: Photos courtesy of Fisher Studios\, Oxford.

SUMMARY:Four churches of the Akeman Benefice - 20 May
DESCRIPTION:Joining instructions (time and place) and driving directions will be sent to participants after booking has closed.  Identical tours will be run on Friday\, May 19th and Saturday\, May 20th: this booking page is for May 20th. \nWe shall start at All Saints\, Middleton Stoney and drive south to see the churches at Kirtlington\, Bletchingdon\, and Hampton Gay.  All Saints\, Middleton Stoney\, a Grade 2* building within the Jersey Estate\, dates from the mid-12th century and\, like so many\, has undergone a number of restorations over time.  Saint Mary the Virgin (Grade 2*) in Kirtlington is another C12 foundation much restored over the centuries and latterly by Benjamin Ferry (the tower rebuild) and by Sir George Gilbert Scott (the Chancel).  Lunch (food covered by the tour price) will be provided in the Oxford Arms in Kirtlington.  After lunch: Saint Giles\, Bletchingdon (Grade 2*).  As a young man\, Christopher Wren lived at The Rectory with his family after his father was deprived of his living by the Puritans\, his sister having married the then Rector\, William Holder.  Charles Buckeridge designed the north aisle\, which was added in about 1869. The church was heavily restored to Buckeridge’s designs in 1878.  And finally\, to Saint Giles\, Hampton Gay. (Grade 2*)\, a beautiful little church resulting from a comprehensive rebuild in the 18th century that attracted criticism from the Gothic revivalists in the 19th century for being too Georgian!

SUMMARY:The work of Churches Conservation Trust
DESCRIPTION:Chana James\, Communications Manager at the  Churches Conservation Trust (formerly the Redundant Churches Fund) will talk to us about the work of the Trust.  The trust was founded by the Church of England to take on the ownership of those redundant parish churches which are of such historic\, architectural or archaeological merit that they should be conserved for the nation and opened to the public.  The CCT currently owns more than 350 church buildings.  In support of its work\, it undertakes both an active conservation programme and\, increasingly\, it engages with local communities. \n  \nOpen only to OHCT Members.  Free to attend\, but you must book a ticket. \nWe’ll send out a Zoom link on the day before the talk.

SUMMARY:Visit to Chalgrove
DESCRIPTION:I am delighted to announce that thanks to generous flexibility by St Mary’s Church\, Rachel Jacques at Chalgrove Manor and The Red Lon pub where we will have lunch\, this visit will now take place on SATURDAY 15 OCTOBER.   The arrangements are as for the original date – with half the group visiting the church in the morning and the Manor after lunch and the other half vica versa.   I will confirm which group you are in in my joining letter.   Either way\, we will be meeting at 10 am. The cost Is £35 per head\, including lunch but not drinks. \n  \nI am delighted to let you know that through the good offices of Charles Baker (President of OHCT 2021-22) the autumn tour for 2022 will take place in Chalgrove on 16th September.  The visit will comprise two venues. By kind permission of Rachel Jacques\, we will be given a guided tour of Chalgrove Manor\, a 15th/16th century half-timbered Grade 1 listed manor house lovingly restored by Rachel and her family.  The other venue will be the church of St Mary\, which has undergone a large restoration project focusing mainly on a series of exquisite wall paintings. \nThe day will be limited to 40 people divided into two groups.  One group will visit the Manor in the morning and the other group\, the church paintings.  We all gather for lunch at the Red Lion in the village\, and in the afternoon\, the groups swap venues.  This should prove to be an interesting if slightly different format to most of my tours\, and because of limited numbers\, I do recommend early booking to avoid disappointment. \nPlease note that good independent mobility is required. \nYou will receive final details a few days before our visit confirming which way round your day is planned – and confirming the location to meet. \nImage copyright John Ward \nTicket sales close at 8 am Wednesday\, 12 Oct.

SUMMARY:Shrivenham Benefice Churches Tour
DESCRIPTION:We thought it would be nice to go to the far west of the county and look at four of the churches in the Shrivenham Benefice namely St Andrew Shrivenham\, St Mary the Virgin Longcot\, St Swithun Compton Beauchamp and St Mary the Virgin Ashbury. There are some rare treats among these.  Two are listed Grade 1 and two of them Grade 2*. At least three of them have completed OHCT funded projects recently. They all lie at the western end of the Ridgeway and for a variety of reasons have intriguing reasons for being. \nThe order of visits will be as listed above with lunch included at the Woodman pub at Fernham.  We shall adopt the usual pattern of about an hour at each church starting at Shrivenham at 10:45 where coffee will be laid on. There are WC facilities and Shrivenham\, Longcot\, the Woodman (of course) and Ashbury at the end of the afternoon. Access is fairly good for all but Ashbury but do bear in mind that churches tend not to live up to modern accessibility standards. Ashbury is approached by a few steps up the slope. \nI am reluctant to spell out too many details at this stage so as not to spoil your enjoyment.  Suffice to say there are some good stories at all of them and we will have the benefit of a number of local parishioners to share their knowledge with us.

SUMMARY:Blenheim Lecture 2021: Dr Simon Bradley on revising Pevsner
DESCRIPTION:Dr Bradley\, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of St John’s College\, Oxford\, is an expert on historic architecture and has published widely on buildings ranging from churches to our great Victorian railway stations.  He is editor for a number of the new revisions of Pevsner’s architectural guide – members may have seen his new editions on Cambridgeshire\, Westminster\, and the City of London.  He will tell us about his work and\, in particular\, about what he has learned in his latest task – the revision for Oxford and Oxfordshire.  We can look forward to gaining new insights into buildings many of which we will know and which we may well wish to revisit in the light of his talk. \nAs is our custom\, we shall start the evening with a drinks reception and buffet supper in the Orangery of the Palace. \nThe Trust is grateful to his Grace\, the Duke of Marlborough for generously allowing us the use of the Palace.
