All of the Wychwood circular walks link in with the Wychwood Way - a 37 mile route around the heart of the former Royal hunting forest of Wychwood. All the walks lie within the area covered by the Wychwood Project, an initiative which seeks to involve local people and communities in conserving and restoring the landscapes and habitats within the historic forest area. Charlbury and Fawler I found this a fairly entertaining read, but would have to say it isn't one of Anthony Berkeley's best, with some odd and off-putting elements. I wouldn't start with this one if you haven't read anything by him before - his most famous book, The Poisoned Chocolates Case, is much better. The Wychwood Forest Trust - The Wychwood Forest Trust is a conservation charity restoring habitats and preserving the unique cultural and ecological heritage in the places once part of the Wychwood Forest. In 1086, the Domesday book designated swathes of modern West Oxfordshire the 'Royal Hunting Forest of Wychwood'. A dappled landscape of ancient forest, meadows, fields and heaths, the historic Wychwood Forest provided a variety of wild spaces for flora and fauna. Communities within the historic Wychwood Forest were united by shared traditions and customs, shared laws and a shared way of life.

He and his wife lived in an old house in St John's Wood, London, and he had an office in The Strand where he was listed as one of the two directors of A B Cox Ltd, a company whose business was unspecified! After the decline of Roman control much of the open land reverted to woodland. Later Saxon settlements were restricted to the woodland edge or large clearings. The Children of Men by P.D. James (Protagonist Theo Faren wants to use Wychwood Forest as a hiding place) We offer a fantastic selection of real ales, many of which are brewed locally, as are a number of the ciders we offer. Wychwood is derived from an Old English name Huiccewudu meaning 'wood of a tribe called the Hwicce. [9] The Hwicce were the Anglo-Saxon people living in the area from some time in the 6th century until the assimilation of the Old English peoples into the wider Middle English society.

It soon becomes clear that there are several people who just might have committed the crime and all of whom have motives for wanting Bentley dead. This is a well written and interesting crime story which will leave most readers guessing. I thought I'd worked out who did it but I was completely wrong. The solution is not at all what I expected. At the start of this book, Roger Sherringham is staying with his friend Alec Grierson, who we met in, “The Layton Court Mystery,” and who is now married to Barbara Shannon. It is a year since events at Layton Court and Sherringham is interested in a case of murder which he has been reading about in the newspapers. A Mrs Bentley is accused of poisoning her husband with arsenic and is soon to stand trial for her life. Public opinion is against Mr Bentley’s French wife – known to be having a love affair, his family and friends became suspicious of her behaviour and turned against her after her husband’s death. However, Sherringham is convinced she is innocent and is determined to clear her name. With Grierson eager to help out again, plus the fact that Alec has family in the town of Wychford where the poisoning occurred, the two set out to investigate. This is my fifth book by Berkeley, and boy, do I still amazed by his capability to throw false solutions right into my face. And the thing about his false solution is, it was beautifully fit to the facts, almost rings true as the actual explanation itself. I could never get tired of Berkeley.

At the other end of the village is the 4 star hotel The Wychwood Inn, a family run restaurant, hotel and pub. The village is on the A361, a road that runs from Chipping Norton to Burford and it is serviced by its own train station, just outside the village, which is on the Cotswolds line. With a population of around 1200 residents, Shipton-under-Wychwood is a large, picturesque village, in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approximately 4 miles away from the popular market town of Burford.

Hobgoblin is the best-known and most popular beer brewed at Wychwood Brewery and was created by Chris Moss. It is 5.2% abv in bottles, 4.5% in cans [4] and 4.5% (previously 5.0%, and before that 5.6%, and originally 6.5%) on cask, and is described by Wychwood as a "Ruby beer". [5] Jeremy Moss, Wychwood's head brewer, describes the drink as "full bodied and well balanced with a chocolate toffee malt flavour, moderate bitterness and a distinctive fruity character with a ruby red glow". It was the first bottled beer in the UK to feature an illustrated label, as opposed to a simple text-based one, and it is currently the second best-selling bottled ale in the UK. Fragments of the ancient forest survive, one on the Cornbury Estate near Charlbury retaining the name 'Wychwood'. [19] Wychwood in art [ edit ] Paintings [ edit ] In past centuries the forest covered a much larger area, since cleared in favour of agriculture, villages and towns. However, the forest's area has fluctuated. Parts cleared for agriculture during Britain's centuries under Roman rule later reverted to forest. [7] The existence of the ancient Wychwood is recognised by the authoritative Victoria County History, but the planned Volume XIX has yet to be completed. [8] Etymology [ edit ] Wychwood Park is a neighbourhood enclave and private community in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. [1] It is located west of Bathurst Street on the north side of Davenport Road, within the larger area of Bracondale Hill. It is considered part of the overall Wychwood official neighbourhood as designated by the City of Toronto.

This time Berkeley gave us his commentary on British law. He commented that the innocent until proven guilty-thing, doesn't exactly ring true as the words said. It was, actually, quite the contrary. Why not? When a case is in the public interest, public opinion seems to have decided that the accused party is indeed guilty. The until proven guilty-part makes people focused in trying to prove the guilt of the accused, opening a window for confirmation bias (which ironically has been affecting Roger Sheringham more often than he could remember).

Taddle Creek ran through the ravine, and it was dammed to create a large pond in the middle of the park. This is now one of the few places in the city where Taddle Creek is still visible above ground. [6] Starting with the book's good points, it was fun to meet up with series detective Roger Sheringham again. This is the second book in the series, first published in 1926. It follows on from The Layton Court Mystery and features a couple of the same characters, in addition to Roger. Wychwood Park was founded as an artists' colony in the late nineteenth century, as a private project by painter Marmaduke Matthews and businessman Alexander Jardine. [2] The area was then still a rural region on the edge of the city, and Matthews planned out a picturesque community that he named after Wychwood forest in Oxfordshire, England. [3] Painting of Wychwood Park by Marmaduke Matthews, c. 1895 King Goblin, essentially a stronger and more flavourful variety of Hobgoblin, is a 6.6% abv "Special Reserve" ale. [9] To date it is available bottled in Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets, Draeger's supermarkets in the US, in "Broken English" shops in Berlin, and on draught during "real ale" festivals at Wetherspoons pubs.
