All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 28 March 2011 at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall, exchange journals and the library. The subject of the talk is "Burford and its Buildings", which will be presented by Dr Simon Townley. The speaker tells me that during the years 2005 through to 2008, the Victoria County History teamed up with the Oxfordshire Buildings Record to investigate Burford's rich stock of stone and timber-framed buildings, within the context of the town's wider development as a "wool" and later a coaching town. This illustrated talk will look at some of the highlights. Our speaker Dr Simon Townley is Editor of the Victoria County History of Oxfordshire, for which he has worked since 1987. During that time he has worked on numerous Oxfordshire towns and villages, most recently Burford and Henley-on-Thames. Later this year he'll be starting VCH work on Ewelme, Benson, and Berrick Salome. Simon's work for the VCH on Burford led to the publication of the book "Burford: buildings and people in a Cotswold town", which he co-authored with Antonia Catchpole and David Clark. Copies of this splendid book will be on sale from Simon at the meeting, or can be purchased from this society's bookstall at :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html) All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
