On 8th May, Liz Woolley did a tour of the St Thomas’ Parish. Those of us who joined this tour had a real treat! Liz gave us a fascinating glimpse into how our neighbours in the Parish of St Thomas lived in the past. We learned of the interesting, and sometimes combatative, history of prominent local families (the Oxford equivalent of the Montagues and the Capulets!), what it would have smelt like living next to five breweries, and how Osney Abbey was at one time the third largest abbey in the land. If you get the chance to experience a tour another time, do take it. See photos of the event below:
