More about Risinghurst Oxford
Risinghurst is a quiet outlying residential area of
Oxford, situated just outside the Eastern Bypass road
which forms part of the City's ring road. It is around a
mile from the centre of Headington and about 3 miles
from Oxford city centre. It is part of the Risinghurst
and Sandhills civil parish.
Most of the houses in Risinghurst are semi-detached
1930s 3 bedroom affairs, although there are some smaller
ex-council houses dating from the late 1980s. Property
prices are high.
Risinghurst was once home to the author C.S. Lewis, who
lived in the house called The Kilns and the nature
reserve directly behind his former house is named after
him. Situated on the steep hill beyond the nature
reserve lies Shotover Country Park, which is home to a
variety of wildlife and is designated as a Site of
Special Scientific Interest. The top of the hill offers
views of Oxfordshire, although Oxford itself is hard to
see.
Risinghurst is home to The Ampleforth, the local public
house which has recently been renovated, next door to
Risinghurt Post Office, which contains a convenience
store, run by a man called Mr Gandhi. It is from this
very store that the phrase to "double dip" was first
coined during the early 1990s. In the colloquial slang
of the time, this phrase loosely translated to mean -
"obtaining goods with comedic undertones". It's usage
was very much parlance of the time as today it would be
rare to hear it quoted in everyday converstation.
The Ampleforth Arms pub has interesting connections.
Anyone familiar with the monks' cloisters at Ampleforh
Abbey in north Yorkshire will recognize the woodwork and
other interior features as similar to the decoration in
the Abbey. It seems that the foreman involved in the
building of the Abbey was from Oxford and on his return
built both the Ampleforth Arms and the Somerset House in
Marston Road.
