\"sch_b_coll_1\"<\/div\n\n1860 was a rather special year.\u00a0 Imagine the roads around here without the cars and lorries that rumble along Bloxham High Street today.\u00a0 In 1860 the road was clear apart from a few horses being ridden through Bloxham.\n\nOn 12th<\/sup> September 1859 two of the Curates from Deddington Parish Church were returning home after a meeting with the Vicar of Banbury, The Reverend Wilson.\u00a0 One of these curates was The Rev Philip Egerton.<\/p>\n
\"sch_blox\"<\/div>\n

As they started off\u00a0 back to Deddington that day it was suggested that they should walk through Bloxham rather than Adderbury {along what is now the Oxford Road}.<\/p>\n

The outcome of this diversion was that Rev P Egerton saw a failed school building up for sale and he purchased it to start All Saints School, Bloxham. The School opened on 31st<\/sup> January 1860 with just one pupil his name was Pearce. One can easily work out that was 150 years ago.<\/p>\n

So 2010 is a very important year for Bloxham School and Bloxham Village. The School which is by far the largest employer in Bloxham and proud of its close connection with our village is going to celebrate this year on many occasions and especially with its former students.<\/p>\n

One of the first large celebrations will be on 31st<\/sup> January, when after a short service in Deddington Parish Church the whole school and many friends will carry out a sponsored walk back to school re-enacting part of the Founder\u2019s walk but in the other direction.\u00a0 If anyone reading the Broadsheet wishes to take part in the sponsored walk, please email\u00a0 MGN@bloxhamschool.com<\/a> or telephone 720222 for a sponsor form. The walk will be in aid of Deddington Church.<\/p>\n

There will be another Village event on September 19th<\/sup>.\u00a0 It is hoped that there will be a major attraction at School combined with a Village Fete the purpose of which is to raise funds for the many village organisations.\u00a0\u00a0 Please get your organisation to come along to this event, set up a stall and make some money.<\/p>\n

Altogether 2010 is to be an important year for Bloxham and it is hoped that we all enjoy it.<\/p>\n
