Rose Hill: an Oxford suburb of surprising contrasts and great historical interest
11 March @ 19:30 - 21:00
Speaker: Liz Woolley
Rose Hill is generally known as a 20th-century outer suburb of Oxford, yet the area was first settled in the Early Iron Age. Liz tells us about the area’s long history, its maze of narrow lanes, Oxford’s earliest surviving Methodist chapel and the housing developments of the 1930s. Liz is a local historian specialising in aspects of Oxford and Oxfordshire, with a particular interest in the city’s ‘town’ as opposed to ‘gown’.
Non-members welcome – a donation of £3.00 towards the meeting costs would be appreciated.
