Cherbury Camp

Cherbury Camp is a multi-vallate hill fort-like earthwork, at grid reference SU374963, 1 mi (1.6 km) north of the village of Charney Bassett in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The site is connected to the village by a footpath. History and legend This appears to be an Iron Age fortification but is far from any hill or other vantage point. It is, nonetheless, larger than its counterpart, Uffington Castle, on the nearby Berkshire Downs. The surrounding area was likely to have been marshy, so the site may have had strategic importance. In structure and unusual siting, it resembles nearby Hardwell Castle. Legend has it that the local inhabitants of Uffington Castle travelled the intervening 6 miles (9.7 km) to raid Cherbury Camp, where King Canute and his invading army were encamped. However, a young shepherd boy spotted them and blew his horn as a warning to the Danes. They are said to have consequently prevailed in the subsequent battle, which took place at the crossroads halfway between Charney Bassett and Buckland. The area became known as Gainfield as a result. The shepherd boy was granted all the land within the sound of his horn, around Pusey, as a reward for his vigilance. However true or otherwise this local legend may be, the horn, known as the Pusey Horn, is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum. There was also once an inn in Charney Bassett called the Horn Inn. It closed during the Second World War. Excavation An archaeological excavation was carried out at Cherbury camp in the late 1930s. The report was published in Oxoniensia. A geophysical survey was conducted in 2007. The site is a scheduled monument. Further reading Bradford, J.S.P. (1940).

Cherry Tree Wood

Cherry Tree Wood is a 5.3-hectare park in East Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet. It is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation. Located opposite East Finchley Underground station, it contains woodland and grassland, a playground, tennis courts, a cafe and toilets. The history of the wood may date back to prehistoric times. The wood in this area likely served as a source to fire nearby Roman kilns around AD50-AD160. The first mention of the park is from the 13th century as the hunting grounds of the Bishop of London. It is a remnant of the large medieval wood called Finchley Wood, which was shown in Great Hornsey Park in John Rocque's map of 1754. It was later known as Dirthouse Wood because the night soil and horse manure from London's streets was brought to the Dirthouse, now the White Lion pub next to East Finchley Station, as fertiliser for hay meadows. In 1914 it was purchased by Finchley Council from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to create a public park. Until it became a public park, hornbeam trees were cut back every few years to provide wood for charcoal, while oaks were allowed to grow to their full height for timber. Now that coppicing has ceased the hornbeams have grown tall and rangy, and the wood has grown shaded. Wood anemone and other ancient plants can be found in the spring, and Eurasian nuthatch and great spotted woodpecker are often seen. Mutton Brook rises in Cherry Tree Wood, and the Capital Ring between Hendon and Highgate passes through it.

Chertsey Lock

Das Chertsey Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse in Surrey, England. Sie befindet sich oberhalb der Chertsey Bridge am Ufer gegenüber der Stadt Chertsey und wurde 1813 von der City of London gebaut. Die Schleuse liegt an einer schmalen Insel, an die ein Wehr anschließt. Geschichte Es gab oberhalb der heutigen Schleuse Probleme mit einer Untiefe im Fluss, die Laleham Gulls genannt wurde. Daher wurden unterschiedliche Vorschläge ausgearbeitet, um das Problem zu lösen. Nach erfolgten Vermessungsarbeiten scheiterte das Vorhaben jedoch 1793 im Parlament. 1805 wurde ein Plan für einen Kanal vorgelegt, an dessen unteren Ende eine Schleuse vorgesehen war. Der Plan scheiterte am Widerstand der örtlichen Landbesitzer. Das Parlament genehmigte 1810 eine Schleuse weiter flussaufwärts des heutigen Standorts, aber Lord Lucan wollte diese nicht in seiner Sichtweite haben daher wurde 1812 in einem Parlamentsbeschluss der heutige Platz weiter flussabwärts festgelegt. Das Schleusenwärterhaus befand sich bei der Eröffnung der Schleuse eigentlich in Middlesex, durch die Veränderung des Flusslaufes gehörte es schließlich zu Surrey. Die Schleuse wurde sowohl 1893 als auch 1913 verlängert. Damals wurde eine Trennung der Schleusenkammer ermöglicht, die Tore wurden inzwischen wieder entfernt. Der Fluss oberhalb der Schleuse Kurz oberhalb der Schleuse überquert die M3 Chertsey Bridge den Fluss. Der Abbey River mündet hier wieder in die Themse. Bei Laleham wird dem Fluss Wasser entnommen, das in das Queen Mary Reservoir, einen Trinkwasserspeichersee für London, gepumpt wird. Der Fluss macht einen großen Bogen um Penton Hook Island während die Schifffahrtsstrecke diesen durch das Penton Hook Lock abkürzt. Der Themsepfad verläuft die gesamte Strecke bis zum Penton Hook Lock auf der östlichen Uferseite. Siehe auch Schleusen und Wehre der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Cherwell Boathouse

The Cherwell Boathouse (also "Boat House") is a boathouse and restaurant on the River Cherwell in Oxford, England. It is located down a small lane off the junction between Chadlington Road and Bardwell Road, which itself is off the Banbury Road in North Oxford. The land was leased by the Oxford University Boat Club waterman Tom Tims from St John's College, Oxford for a landing stage for punts in 1901. The boathouse was built in 1904 and was known as Tims's for the first forty years. Punts and small rowing boats can be rented for use on the river. A restaurant and riverside café can be found on the same site. It is very popular with tourists and students in the summer. Upstream, punts can be taken to the Victoria Arms, Marston, a public house. Downstream, punts can be taken past the University Parks and Parson's Pleasure. Rollers must be used to take punts past the weir at that point to Mesopotamia. Immediately to the north of the Cherwell Boathouse is Wolfson College and to the south is the Dragon School. On the opposite bank to the east are water-meadows.

Cherwell School

The Cherwell School is a secondary school with academy status on the Marston Ferry Road in Oxford, England. The current school site was built in 1963 as a secondary modern school, later becoming the main comprehensive school for North Oxford, with a catchment area extending down to the city centre, Grandpont, and New Hinksey. Along with later expansions, in 2003, and as part of a citywide reorganisation, it merged with the Frideswide Middle School, and is now a split site school of c.2,000 pupils aged between 11 and 18. The Cherwell School is part of River Learning Trust. Changes The north site has undergone construction work, with the extension of the sixth form common room. The original design, to accommodate only 100 pupils in years 12 and 13, became inadequate in recent years for the 300 or more pupils currently in the sixth form. A notable change to the north site of the Cherwell School is the creation of female-only toilets located by the music block – previously, only unisex toilets being available. The main building work was the construction of a new building alongside the existing block, and then removing the internal wall to create a much larger space. On the second floor of the structure, the school library has been extended to include quiet study areas, each with computer and desk facilities. Notable alumni Cherwell School alumni are called Cherwellians: Tom Bateman, actor. Joey Beauchamp, footballer. Sholto Carnegie, rower. Canice Carroll, footballer. Mark Crozer, musician.

Cherwell Valley services

Cherwell Valley services is a motorway service station on the M40 motorway at Stoke Lyne, near Bicester, in Oxfordshire, England. In addition to the normal facilities provided by a motorway service station, the site also includes a Travelodge hotel in a separate building, together with a riverside walk. Location The services are located at junction 10 of the M40, where the motorway intersects the A43 trunk road. The services lie to the east of this junction, and are accessed from the roundabout at the junction, meaning that they are accessible to non-motorway traffic. The next nearest services on the M40 are Warwick, to the north, and Oxford, to the south. Despite its name, the services are neither in the valley nor the drainage basin of the River Cherwell, but rather beside a small east-flowing stream that becomes part of the Padbury Brook before joining the River Great Ouse at Buckingham. History Cherwell Valley services, including the associated hotel, were opened in the spring of 1994 and gave the 89-mile motorway its first service station, more than three years after its completion. The site was previously occupied by a toilet facility, which had been there since the motorway's opening. On 15 April 2010, a fire broke out in the main building. There were no casualties but the main building was destroyed. The hotel and fuel station were not affected. Temporary replacement facilities were introduced shortly after the fire, whilst construction of a new permanent replacement building started on 27 June 2010. The new building was completed in time to be opened on 30 June 2011, and is substantially larger than its 1994 predecessor. Gallery References External links Official website

In 2015, the sixth form centre, located in the original building, was expanded and reopened as the Curtis Centre. The Prime Minister's Global Fellowship Pupils attained places on the Prime Minister's Global Fellowship programme in the inaugural year 2008, and in 2009 had two more successful applicants. Admissions and school performance Admission to the school is brokered through Buckinghamshire County Council, which operates a selective secondary education system throughout the county. Pupils have to achieve a mark of 121 or above in the 11-plus to be eligible to attend the school. The school's catchment area broadly covers the whole of Chiltern District area which includes the towns of Amersham, Chalfont St Giles, Chalfont St Peter and Chesham, and larger villages such as Great Missenden and Little Chalfont. A significant proportion of the intake also comes from Hertfordshire. As Chesham Station is a terminus on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground, pupils also travel in from North London. The school's progress profile showed that these pupils performed prior to 2013 at a comparatively similar level at GCSE and A level.

Chessel Bay

Chessel Bay is a 12.9-hectare (32-acre) Local Nature Reserve on the east bank of the River Itchen in Southampton in Hampshire. It is owned and managed by Southampton City Council. It is part of Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar site and Special Protection Area, and of Lee-on-The Solent to Itchen Estuary, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It has been a local nature reserve since 1989 It comprises a narrow strip of woodland, a parallel strip of shingle and saltmarsh and a substantial area of mudflats. At low tide the mudflats are exposed attracting wading birds and wildfowl: curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin can be seen throughout the year. In winter, the site is also used as a stop-over for other migrating birds such as brent geese. At low tide, mudflats are exposed, and these attract feeding estuary birds. The mudflats are also nationally and internationally important. Local volunteers, Friends of Chessel Bay, team up with the City Council twice a year to combat the large amount of litter which accumulates in the bay, and carry out management of the Reserve. The reserve suffers from high levels of plastic pollution due to its position on the bend of Itchen. References
