Completed Record for the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Beckley. August 2022<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>A group of TASO members and Group Leader Liz Rhodes were working on a Church Record for the Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Beckley when Covid-19 delayed completion until the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n

A number of members of the Church Recording Group were present when Liz Rhodes presented the bound Record to the Church during Morning Service on Sunday 14 August, 2022. As the vicar was ill with Covid-19, the Record was accepted on behalf of the Church by Gina Robson, the Churchwarden.<\/p>\n

Children’s Trail of Discovery September 2018<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFor the last few months a small group from the Oxford Society have worked on developing a Children\u2019s Trail of Discovery for the University Church of St. Mary\u2019s, Oxford. One of the Arts Society\u2019s volunteer activities, such a trail is a way of discovering more about places of worship and historic buildings. It consists of a Question Sheet for children aged 8-12 that takes them around a church and teaches them about it\u2019s meaning and history, encouraging them to investigate it\u2019s architecture, art and furnishings. There is also an Answer Sheet for accompanying adults that gives them additional information and a Word Search Puzzle.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe completed Trail was presented to the Rector, William Lamb, at a Service on Sunday, 23rd September, to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Arts Society, attended by Volunteers from the Wyvern Area.<\/p>\n

Completed Record for St Mary’s, Garsington.\u00a0November 2017<\/h4>\n

\"Judith-and-Sheila-at-window\"<\/p>\n

For the past two and a half years a small group of Church Recorders from the Arts Society Oxford, have been working on a Church Record for St Mary’s. \u00a0This is a comprehensive document listing the furnishings, artefacts and some of the fabric of a church.\u00a0\u00a0 Objects are divided into sections entitled, Memorials, Metalwork, Stonework, Woodwork, Textiles, Windows, Paintings, Library and Miscellaneous.\u00a0\u00a0 Each object is described in a prescribed format and may be photographed.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Thus the final Record is a document of local and social history.\u00a0\u00a0 Copies of the Record are placed in the V&A in London, the local County Heritage Centre and Historic England so that it becomes a source of information for future researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kathryn-and-Liza\"Standing on the site of a Saxon look-out post, the Church is a prominent landmark facing across the Thames Valley to the Wittenham Clumps. Part of the Tower dates back to the late 12th Century , the North Aisle was added at the end of the 13th century and the South Aisle added in the early 14th century. The Church contains a number of monuments, the most notable being a memorial by Eric Gill of the literary figure Lady Ottoline Morrell who lived in Garsington. Other interesting features include a turret clock, medieval and Victorian floor tiles and a stained glass window which came from St. Giles Church in Oxford.<\/p>\n

The group met once a month and spent a couple of hours in the church making notes on the particular sections they were working on, undertaking further research between the meetings and then writing up their notes in the format required.\u00a0\u00a0Measurements were taken, some items weighed, Latin on some of the memorials\u00a0translated, and a lot of time spent looking up historical archives to ensure as much information as possible had been collected.\u00a0\u00a0 Memorials in any church are probably one of the most fascinating to research and two in particular threw up some unexpected stories. Research into the first, \u2018to the memory of Henry W.M. Singleton\u2019 a Commoner of Trinity College Oxford, produced the fact that the burial register states he was killed at the turnpike gate at Gosford (Kidlington).\u00a0\u00a0 He and a fellow student appear to have raced on horseback along the turnpike after going to the races and his horse ran into the toll-bar throwing him insensible, whereupon he died two hours later.<\/p>\n

The Record was presented to the Church on November 19th <\/sup>2017.\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
