Marina will describe the varied use of annu als\, as fillers when creating a new border\, as drifts to create cohesion in a planting\, as specimens\, green manures\, pollinator caviar as well as bedding displays (only a passing mention on the latter!) and introducin g unusual varieties for the discerning gardener. The talk will be illustra ted with plant material and various sundries.
\nAfter a couple of rei ncarnations from Firecrest Nursery and Green Farm Plants\, Marina finally emerged as Phoenix Perennial Plants in 2002. Phoenix is sited in a cold\, wet frost pocket so plants have to be extremely hardy and tolerate winter wet. Phoenix earns medals vicariously by supplying some of the top garden designers with unusual plants for the Chelsea Flower Show and has won ‘Bes t in Show’ several times! Marina became an author in 2006 with her book ‘L ate Summer Flowers’.

After the Reformation\, a minority of our ancestors – known as ‘popish recusants’ – refused to abandon Roman Catholicism\, despi te it being made illegal in England. Some others who were Catholic at hear t conformed outwardly to the Church of England and were known as ‘church p apists’. This talk reveals how recusants and church papists ensured the se cretive survival of Catholicism in Oxfordshire and Berkshire during the lo ng period in which ‘the old faith’ was outlawed. It also incorporates a mo re detailed look at the recusants of Dorchester and district.

A multi-terra in route along local footpaths and the banks of the River Thames\, and bac k through the
\nhistoric market town of Wallingford. For the 5k event runners complete one circuit of the route and for the 10k route two. This is a community-run event with all profits going to Crowmarsh Gifford Scho ol PTA and Style Acre.

The housing development at Great Western Park allowed archaeologists to explore in detail a vast area of landscape. This reveal ed significant discoveries from virtually every period\, allowing for the reconstruction of the various ways in which the inhabitants of Didcot have lived over the last 10\,000 years. The evidence is in many respects repre sentative of changes that can be seen over much of southern Britain. This talk will introduce the prehistoric discoveries made at Great Western Park and discuss how they help us understand the lives of our ancestors.

Alex Davies obtained his PhD in 2016 on Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement and society in the Thames Valley. He has since worked in post-excavation at Oxford Archaeology\, primarily analysing and writin g up prehistoric excavations and pottery. He is interested in all aspects of British and European prehistory\, and the use of ethnography in the int erpretation of prehistoric society.

Mark Davies on: ‘Professors of Rowing: the first Oxford v Cambridge Boat Races’

Although the first known inter-college race was held in 1815\, competitive rowing was still a low-key affair in Oxfor d when Cambridge University issued the first challenge in 1829. That chang ed in 1843\, when a seven-man Oxford crew won an unlikely victory and rowi ng displaced cricket as the pre-eminent summer sporting activity. In betwe en\, an unusual alliance of Town & Gown had seen Thames’ watermen and boat builders – some immortalised in fiction – crucially equipping and training the early Oxford crews.

Mark Davies is an Oxford local historian\ , guide\, and author with an especial interest in the history and literatu re of Oxford’s waterways. He has lived on a residential narrowboat on the Oxford Canal since 1992 and has led towpath walks in Oxford for 20 years. Most of his talks focus on the waterways of Oxford\, including literary th emes (especially Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’\, on which he has spoken as far a field as India)\, but his other distinctive specialties include: Oxford Ca stle\; 400 hundred years of the Botanic Garden\; and the local contributio ns to the origins of hot-air ballooning. He is currently assisting the Mus eum of Oxford in preparation for its reopening in 2020.

Octobe r talk: Professor Malcolm Airs ‘William and Jessie Macfarlane and their Mi ssion for Dorchester’.

While Mat was at Wisley he was introduced t o gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd and spent subsequent weekends volu nteering in his garden\, Great Dixter. So when he finished at Kew\, there was only one place he wanted to be. He went to see Fergus Garrett\, head g ardener at Dixter\, and started work almost immediately. He says “Dixter i s gardened in a creative and inventive way\, so we were constantly trying new things”.
\nAfter that\, in 2010 Mat moved to Malverleys\, a priva te estate in Hampshire\, where he is developing and redesigning the garden s. He gave us a talk on Melverleys in November 2016. Mat is now regarded a s one of a handful of top-echelon gardeners working in Britain today.

Come along to celebrate the opening of the House of We ssex building to the public\, and marvel at the stunning craftmanship. See the Wulfheodenas demonstrating Anglo-Saxon living history in their new ho me.

The Revd. William MacFarlane (Vic ar from 1856 until his death in 1885)\, and his sister Jessie totally tran sformed Dorchester from a religiously-divided and economically backward vi llage to become a centre for the High Church movement and a regenerated co mmunity. Using their wealth inherited from trade in the East India Company \, amongst many other initiatives they completed the restoration of the Ab bey\, built a new Vicarage and School\, founded a missionary college and p rovided the isolated hamlet of Burcot with a new church and school combine d. Their legacy is all around us today in the village.

Looking for ward\, the talk on November 27th will be Tim Healey on ‘A 17th Century Chr istmas’.

The programme is completed with Haydn’s sparkling Nelson Mass. Irish soprano Iǘnó Connolly heads an international quartet of soloists\, a nd the Elgar Orchestra complete the scene. The performance takes place on Saturday 19 March at 7.30pm at Dorchester Abbey. Altogether\, you’ll get s omething special!
