Afternoon, Friday, 27 July. We are meeting local historian, Mark Davies, the co-author of “A Towpath Walk in Oxford” and author of “Alice in Waterland” and other books, for an  interview and guided walk along the river.

Mark has lived on a boat in Oxford for over 20 years. He tells us about the history of the Isis Lock, built by convicts, and the history of Port Meadow common land.
