Subject: Monastery
Was there, at any stage, a monastery in or
around Banbury??
I know of a farmer field where there is an old arch and no other signs
of buildings -
I have known about the arch which is near the Needle which is near Wroxton.
Many thanks

Subject: Banbury Sea Cadets
Hello - I was commanding officer of TS Harvester up to 1992 when due to work committments I had to leave. The Unit has sadly in recent times struggled to stay alive and in January I was approached to return by the management committee as it was under notice of closure due to take effect from March 31st.
At the point of my return the unit had just 4 regular cadets and no staff.
Today April 29th we have 12 cadets but still no staff other than me and I admit I am struggling and need help.
During my time as an officer and the C.O. we had over 40 cadets most of whom would now be in their early to mid thirties; some I know have married and moved away but I would like to hear from any old cadets say from 1980 - 1992 who feel they would like to get involved again perhaps withtheir children as well.
In particular I am looking for Richard Stretton, Matthew Stretton, Alan Donaldson, Simon Timms, Stephen Wing, Liam Farrell, Pattie Harewood, Phillipa Moore, Claire Beesley, Karen McConnell and many others as they were a good crew and I know they had good times as cadets - so come on "guys" lets be having you back and come and help.
Also anyone who feels they would like to get involved contact me -you dont have to be an ex cadet or ex navy as we can give you all the trianing you need - you just need to have a healthy appetite for serious fun!
Waiting to hear from you all!

Subject: St Leonards Primary School
I am an old pupil of St Leonards Primary School on the Middleton Rd Grimsbury Banbury.
I was wondering if anyone remembers some of the songs that Mr Spicer our headteacher and music teacher wrote and taught us. One went " Children of good saint Leonards since school life began, proud of the old school motto, Manners Maketh Man.
Can anyone add to the songs or know where all his great work went?

Hi. I'm James Tobin and I'm gathering information on the Northern Aluminium Company up to the end of the war. If you worked there, or you know of any stories or details on the factory during this period, I would like to hear from you.
Thank you in advance for taking the time.

Subject: Inspector Morse
Dear Sir / Madam, I am currently researching locations used in the Inspector Morse / series, for a book I am writing In effect, this is to be a ‘collection of stories’ based on locations, from people who where there at the time. This includes the crew, extras, bystanders, property owners, etc. I understand that the Banbury area was used as a location and if this is the case, I wondered if you or anyone you knew would be willing to share any such memories on the subject.
I really would be very grateful for any help or advice you may be able to give me.
Many thanks, Paul Allen

Subject: BANBURY AND THE UFOs
i lived in Banbury in the last century 1970-72 and i wondered if anyone remembers the UFO flap around that time..i saw 2 ufos with some usaf personnel amongst others and there was also a meeting at the Banbury town hall filmed by the BBC program MAN ALIVE... Lots of things were happening and there was a spaceman seen by lorry drivers at the Bodicote flyover and also at Croughton airforce base...MOD put a `D` notice on everything after the F111 jets chased 2 ufos over the town seen by hundreds... Just wondered if anyone remembers those weird days?
