More about Headington Oxfordshire
Headington is a residential suburb of Oxford,
England, lying on top of a hill of the same name
overlooking the city of Oxford in the river valley
below.
The site of Headington shows evidence of continued
occupation from the Stone Age, as the 2001 field
excavations in Barton Lane found, suggesting a date in
the 11th century BC. Pottery was found on the Manor
Ground, suggesting an Iron Age settlement there in the
600s BC. A Roman kiln from around 300, now on display at
the Museum of Oxford, and Anglo-Saxon burial remains
from c.500 have also been discovered.
The name "Headington" stems from Saxon times, and comes
from "Hedena's dun", "Hedena's hill", when it was the
site of a palace or hunting lodge of the Kings of
Mercia. In a charter of 1004, Ethelred II of England,
"written at the royal ville called Headan dune", gave
land in Headington to Frideswide's priory, which
included the quarry and the area around it.
Headington developed rapidly in the early 20th century.
In 1927 it became an urban district separate from the
Headington Rural District, and in 1929 it was added to
the city of Oxford. [1]
Headington's main employers are medicine, education, and
research; it has a large and growing population. In the
centre of Headington are a number of shops, pubs, cafes,
restaurants, and other services. The area also contains
the main campus of Oxford Brookes University, and the
city's main hospitals, including the John Radcliffe and
Churchill.
The most famous landmark is The Headington Shark
sculpture. The area contains number of green spaces
including Headington Hill and Bury Knowle parks. Close
by is Shotover Hill, a heath and woodland area with
views over Oxfordshire, and listed as a Site of Special
Scientific Interest.
J.R.R.Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings",
lived at 76 Sandfield Road in Headington, from 1953
until 1968 and C.S.Lewis, author of "The Chronicles of
Narnia", also lived in the district, at his cottage "The
Kilns". Lewis is burried at Holy Trinity Church at
Headington Quarry. Another famous resident as of 2001,
was John Simpson, senior editor of the Oxford English
Dictionary. He lived on Kennett Road.
