'Beating the Bounds' at the Museum

This year’s museum exhibition also commemorates the centenary of the tragic accident during the 1924 Beating the Bounds walk. What began as a happy, sociable occasion turned to disaster as the last punt ferrying walkers across the river overturned, throwing adults and children into the water.

Our display tells the story of that day through photographs and eye-witness accounts. In those days of slower communication, it seems that those who had crossed the river earlier went ahead unaware of the accident. They carried on walking the boundary oblivious to the frantic search for those who were missing.

The museum will be open from 2.30 on the afternoon of this year’s Boundary Walk. Please do call in to see the display. The exhibition also ties in with the Charlbury Society talk about the accident by Rob Stepney on the afternoon of Thursday 6th June in the Memorial Hall.

The museum is open Saturdays 10.30-12.30, Sundays & Bank Holiday Mondays 2.30-4.30.

Annual Boundary Walk and Commemoration of tragedy in 1924

Sunday 5th May is the date for this year's Annual Boundary Walk. Why not come along this year and walk around Charlbury over land not usually available to traverse?

The walk is 10.5 miles long and classed as 'medium' difficulty.

Meet your walk leader, Tony Merry, at the Old Oak on Forest Hill at 10am. There will be a refreshment stop at Model Farm where you are welcome to join (or leave) if you don't fancy walking the whole route.

This year we are commemorating the centenary of the tragedy where 3 children drowned in the Evenlode. There will be a short commemoration following the walk, with refreshments provided by the scouts, a brief history on what happened from Rob Stepney, and a few words said by Fergus, vicar at St Mary's (as St Mary's ran the walk back in 1924). This will be held at Mill Field at about 4pm if you would just like to come along for this.
