SUMMARY:September Church Tour to Otmoor
DESCRIPTION:This year’s September tour\, to three medieval village churches on Otmoor and a 20th-century town church at the edge of Oxford\, has been devised and will be led by Elizabeth Knowles with help from Hilary CakebreadHall. \nWe shall start at St Mary the Virgin\, Charlton-on-Otmoor where we shall gather from 10:15 for a coffee.  This church and our second of the morning\, St Andrew’s Oddington\, both date from the 14th and 15th centuries.  Having seen these two churches\, we shall move for lunch to the Abingdon Arms at Beckley\, after which we’ll see the Church of the Assumption of the BVM at Beckley.  Dating from Romanesque times but now largely 14th/15th-century\, this church boasts fine wall-paintings and some medieval stained glass.  Our fourth and final visit for the day will be to the only example in the county of a church by N. F. Cachemaille-Day (1896-1976)\, St Mary’s\, Barton. \nThe four churches are close to each other\, and so driving distances will be minimal: route instructions will be circulated in the week before the tour.

SUMMARY:Blenheim Lecture 2026: On John Vanbrugh
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the 300th anniversary of his death\, is a fitting opportunity for a Blenheim Lecture on Sir John Vanbrugh\, architect and dramatist.  His best known buildings are\, of course\, Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard.  We are delighted that the well-known architectural historian – architectural editor of Country Life – Dr John Goodall FSA\, has agreed to be our speaker: we can look forward to an authoritative and interesting account of this remarkable figure. \nThis year’s lecture will take place at an earlier time than usual with the aim that the journey home afterwards might be easier: we shall gather from 3:15 pm for the lecture at 3:45.  We shall adjourn after the lecture for drinks in The Orangery and then have our usual buffet.  The event will close by 6:15. \nWe are grateful to be using the Palace as the guests of the  Blenheim Palace Heritage Foundation. \n  \nImage: Sir John Vanbrugh (attrib. to  Thomas Murray)\nCopyright: National Portrait Gallery\, London
