More about North Hinksey Oxfordshire
North Hinksey is a small village in Oxfordshire, just
west of the city boundary of Oxford. It has a manor
house, a pub ('The Fishes') which is acquiring something
of a reputation for fine dining, a local Church of
England primary school, and a small parish church
dedicated to St. Lawrence, which dates back to at least
the 12th century. One or two of the older houses have
thatched roofs. There is also a cemetery which includes
a number of Commonwealth war graves, and the
administrative offices of the Church of England diocese
of Oxford (Diocesan Church House).
The civil parish of North Hinksey also includes the
larger settlement of Botley to the north, where all the
shopping and other facilities are now to be found. The
centre of the old village is now effectively cut off
from much of the newer part of Botley by the busy A34
trunk road.
North Hinksey was settled in the Saxon period: the name
is thought to mean 'stallion's isle'. Along with the
neighbouring village of South Hinksey, it was once part
of the estate of the Benedictine abbey at Abingdon, and
was in Berkshire until the boundary changes of 1974. At
least until the late 17th century, the village was known
as 'Ivy Hinksey'. It was also at one time called 'Ferry
Hinksey', being linked to the western side of the river
by a small ferry, reached from west Oxford by way of
Ferry Hinksey Road. There is no longer a ferry, since
the various streams are now crossed by small bridges.
The most notable path between Oxford and North Hinksey
is a metalled bridleway and cycle track variously known
as 'Willow Walk' and 'Ruskin's Ride'.
There is also a smaller unmade path which begins
alongside the large back garden of 'The Fishes'.
The artist and critic John Ruskin was fond of riding out
from Oxford, and his trips often took him westwards to
North Hinksey, whose rustic charm he admired. (There is
a blue plaque to this effect on one of the old thatched
cottages.) He noted the poor state of the village road,
and in 1874, he thought of a scheme which would give
Oxford students the benefits of manual labour, and also
improve conditions for the villagers. He organized a
group of undergraduates to help him in the building of
an improved road, bordered with banks of flowers.
