THE Church at Ascott is being restored, after the design of G. E. Street, Esq., the Diocesan Architect. In aid of the Restoration, the Parish voted 250l., which has been paid to the Builders, Messrs. Young and Co., of Oxford. on the certificate of the architect that the works are sufficiently advanced to warrant the payment of that sum. Adequate funds are still wanted for the com- plete Restoration of the Church, and the Incumbent and Churchwardens are induced in consequence to make the present statement, in the hope of obtaining assistance. By the kindness of Messrs. Parsons and Co., subscriptions may be paid into the Old Bank for the Ascott Church Restoration Fund; and the Incumbent and Churchwardens desire gratefully to acknowledge the kind and handsome donations already received for that account.

The Hook Norton Brewery was begun by John Harris, whose family were farmers in Chilson. Harris later moved to Hook Norton, renting a 52 acre farm from John Parish in the Scotland End area of the village. The farm had a tradition of producing malt for village use and as early as 1847 Harris established himself as a farmer and maltster. In September 1852 he purchased the Scotland End site for £350. |

FIRE AT TACKLEY. - One of the most destructive fires that have occurred in this neighbourhood for many years took place on Saturday last, at Old Man's Leys, near Tackley, occupied by Mr. George Gomm. It appears that a steam thrashing machine was a work in the rick-yard, and that some sparks from the engine were blown on to the roof of a rick standing near; this immediately ignited, and a large number of ricks were speedily in a blaze. Three engines were despatched to the scene of conflagra- tion as soon as the intelligence of the fire was made known. THe Woodstock engine arrived first, and was quickly fol- lowed by the Blenheim engine, and one from OXford. Every effort was made to subdue the flames, which pre- vailed for several hours, the wind being somewhat high. Fortunately the farm-house and out-buildings, and some of the corn and hay, were saved, but the quantity con- sumed was very great, comprising seven ricks of wheat, three of barley, one of oats, one of peas, one of vetches, one of beans, three of hay, and one of straw. A large portion of the third hay rick was, however, saved. THe thrashing machine was so damaged by fire as to be rendered useless. We understand that Mr. Gomm is insured in the County Fire Office, but the machine, which was the pro- perty of Mr. Chaundy, of Tackley, was only partially insured. A large number of Persons from Woodstock and other places visited the scene of the fire on Sunday afternoon. |
