SUMMARY:Oxfordshire Branch: Guided tour of Rodmarton Manor
DESCRIPTION:Ernest Barnsley who built Rodmarton Manor was a follower of William Morris\, who was one of the leaders of the English Arts and Crafts Movement towards the end of the 19th Century. CR Ashbee was impressed when he visited Rodmarton in 1914 and he wrote “I’ve seen no modern work to equal it\, nothing I know of Lutyens or Baker comes up to it. And when I ask why I find the answer in the system\, the method rather than the man. It is a house built on the basis not of contract but of confidence\, and Barnsley has been allowed a free hand to put all his personal knowledge and techniques into the work. The English Arts and Crafts Movement at its best is here – so are the vanishing Traditions of the Cotswolds”. \nDirections:\nRodmarton Manor is off the A433 between Cirencester and Tetbury. If approaching from the Stroud direction turn off the A419 at Jolly Nice/Frampton Mansell junction. Please note this is a narrow lane unsuitable for coaches\, which should head to Cirencester and approach via A433. \nMeet at 1.45pm for 2pm tour of the house\, followed by a walk around the garden. Tea and cake will be served at 4.45 pm.\nFurther details see: Rodmarton Manor. \nPlease send your cheques paid to ESU to Dr Jan Carter:\nPaddock Cottage\nThrupp\nOxon OX5 1JY\n01865 848528\nESU charity reg no: 273136 \nOr pay via BACS:\nCoutts &Co\, a/c 01817590\, sort 18-00-02\, \nPlease inform Dr Carter (jan@paddockcottage.net) if you wish to attend. \n

SUMMARY:Oxfordshire Branch: Visit to Broughton Castle
DESCRIPTION:Oxfordshire Branch private tour of Broughton Castle. \nBroughton Castle is a moated and fortified manor house \, the core of the house was built in 1306 and the gatehouse in the early fifteenth century\, but most of what you see today dates from the 1550’s. It was a centre of opposition to Charles I and was besieged and damaged after the Battle of Edgehill in 1642. Broughton Castle is home to the 21st Lord and Lady Saye & Sele\, whose family name is Fiennes. \nThe ownership of the Castle has remained in the same family since 1447. Sir Thomas Wykeham was granted a “license to crenellate” in 1406 and these fortifications – gatehouse\, moat and the battlements of the curtain wall – are the result. Sir Thomas had inherited Broughton Castle from his great uncle William of Wykeham\, the founder of New College\, Oxford and Winchester College who bought Broughton Castle in 1377. Their descendants still live in the Castle. \nEvent information: \nWe will meet in the car park at about 1.50. \nBroughton Castle is 2.5 miles from the centre of Banbury\, 3 miles from Junction 11 of the M40. \nAt Banbury Cross take the B4035 west signposted to Shipston on Stour then\, after about two miles\, turn right in Broughton village at the crossroads by the Saye & Sele Arms pub. At the bottom of the hill turn left into the drive.  The car park is on your left before the Church. \nPlease note that all public toilets are in the main building in the car park – there are none available at the Castle. \nThe Saye & Sele Arms pub in the village serves lunches. \nwww.sayeandselearms.co.uk \n  \n
