The average UK house price was £278,000, meaning houses in Oxford are £300,000 above average. The average temperature is as low as 1°C around December - January, up to around 22°C from June - August. Early records show a nunnery was established in Oxford in the early 7th Century (C). In the 9th C Alfred the Great created a network of fortified towns in England called burhs. These were a network of fortified settlements to keep out attackers like the Vikings. These burhs included Bath, London, Winchester and Oxford. Though fortified Oxford town was still burned to the ground by vikings in 979 and 1009. Oxford also came under heavy attack during 1066 in the Norman Invasion. By this time it was a large well established town. Between 1071–73 the Normans built Oxford Castle. Academic teaching was first recorded in Oxford 1096. The University of Oxford was founded in 1167, it is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Oxford began to flourish as a market town and centre of academia. But there was ever continuing conflict between townsfolk and academics. In 1209 a woman was killed in the town and the townsfolk hung 2 students. Students fled and established the University of Cambridge. Riots were recorded in 1228, 1236, 1238, 1248, 1272 & 1298. The tension came to a head in 1355 when fighting lasted 3 days. 63 scholars and 30 locals died in what was known as the St Scholastica Day Riots. The relationship between “town & gown” was tense. Kings gave students special privileges over the townsfolk. Over time conflict lessened. During the 12th & 13th C Oxford was also known for its manufacturing, particularly for cloth and leather. In 1517 the mysterious sweating sickness killed half of the population of Oxford. The Diocese of Oxford was formed in 1542, initiating the first Bishop of Oxford, which in-turn granted the town a city status. In 1555 The Oxford Martyrs (3 protestants) were burnt at the stake. This was part of the Marian persecutions where Mary I of England (Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary), had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake during her 5 year reign. During the English Civil War, where the Parliamentarians and the Royalists fought, Oxford was home to the court of Charles I after he was expelled from London. The town was surrendered to the Parliamentarians during the Siege of Oxford In 1646. Toward the end of the war, with news of Charles II approaching, the Parliamentarians caused much havoc. During the Great Plague in 1603 & 1625-26 the city suffered severe outbreaks. In 1665 Charles II would leave London for Oxford while the plague peaked. Oxford underwent many changes after serious fires in 1644 & 1671. By the 17th & 18th C Oxford had a skyline of spired buildings, including theatres, colleges and churches, with well-paved streets and a large high street. Oxford amply provided for the community and the universities. As the city grew in popularity the streets become more congested, in 1774 a covered market was built for food traders. Prosperity brought the Oxford to London railway in 1844. The summer of 1862 Lewis Carroll took Alice Liddell and her sisters rowing on The Thames in Oxford. Carroll told them the story that will become Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, copies are printed in Oxford three years later. In 1884 the first copy of what will become the Oxford English Dictionary is published. By the early part of the 20th century Oxford is important manufacturing. In 1913 the first Morris car is assembled and sold. In 1920 female university lecturers are given equal status to their male counterparts. The University admits their first 100 women to study for full degrees. Spring of 1926 CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien meet for the first time. Albert Einstein lectures at Rhodes House preparatory in 1931. In 1954 graduate Roger Bannister runs the first sub-4-minute mile on the University track. At the Jericho Tavern in 1986 Radiohead play their 1st gig. Today Oxford's industries still include manufacturing, education and publishing, as well as IT and science. The city of spires is an academic stronghold of excellence, while maintaining lots of tourists throughout. Oxford has been in many films and shows: Anatomy of a Scandal 2022, Eternals, His Dark Materials, Skyfall, A Discovery of Witches, A Clockwork Orange, The Mummy 2017 and Inspector Morse. Harry Potter: the Chamber of Secrets, the Philosopher's Stone and the Goblet of Fire. lwhchm-UOkc |
