Oxford Civic Society

A walk led by Mark Davies for OCS members

Christ Church Gift Shop

<p>This is a two-mile walk with local historian and author Mark Davies, tracing the old south-western municipal and county boundaries, on a route followed by Oxford&#x27;s mayors for centuries as part of the regular ceremonial ‘riding of the franchise’ (or liberty). It includes meadows, urban streets, an &#x27;eccentric mansion&#x27;, water courses and tales of ‘irresponsible jollity’, and will include some steps and potentially muddy footpaths. It complements the two Civic Society walks of the north-western boundary led by Mark in 2019 and will last around 90 minutes. Please note that the walk is not circular - it will begin at Christ Church meadow and end at Osney Island.</p>
