Image: Watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\nFrom the first-ever scientific description of a dinosaur to the revelation that Earth is much older than the Biblical 6\,000 years\, the 19th century saw a network of naturalists forge new ways of thinking about the history of life and our planet. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground is a new exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History that charts these significant developments in palaeontology and geology through a cast of characters – both the celebrated and the unsung – who helped to establish new scientific methods and ideas. \n\n\n\nCentred on an Oxford couple – William Buckland\, geologist and palaeontologist\, and Mary Buckland (née Morland)\, a scientific illustrator\, it explores some of the most historically important dinosaur discoveries ever made. \n\n\n\nMarking the 200th anniversary of the first description of a dinosaur\, Breaking Ground presents fossil material from the first three dinosaurs to be scientifically named – Megalosaurus\, Iguanodon\, and Hylaeosaurus\, including the iconic jaw that started it all. \n\n\n\nAlongside these historic specimens are more than 100 other objects\, including fossils\, skeletons\, casts\, and models. There is also archival material such as lithograph prints and watercolour paintings beautifully documenting the fieldwork\, landscapes\, and discoveries made during this fertile period of early palaeontology. \n\n\n\nWhile celebrating these important scientific developments\, Breaking Ground also investigates some inequalities of the period. William and Mary Buckland were married in 1825 and worked together to lay the foundations of modern palaeontology\, though history tends to remember their contributions differently. \n\n\n\nFamiliar names from 19th-century palaeontology are typically those of powerful people associated with certain institutions and publications; lost to history are workers in other\, often colonised\, countries who dug for specimens\, lower-status miners and quarriers around the UK\, and most women\, regardless of class or wealth. \n\n\n\nThese include Mary Anning\, who\, though more recently celebrated\, faced financial struggles for most of her life and\, as a woman\, was unable to join the Geological Society of London or present her own ideas. This is despite making some of the most important fossil discoveries of the century\, several of which will be on display in the exhibition. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground will also offer the first showcase of items from the newly acquired Buckland archive. The drawings\, prints and paintings made by Mary Buckland include those used in the description of Megalosaurus by William Buckland in 1824. \n\n\n\nAs these illustrations helped to spread understanding of extinct groups of animals and plants among the 19th-century scientific community\, they challenged any literal interpretations of the Bible. A much older planet was revealed\, one that had undergone periods of glaciation – a controversial idea at the time – and in which hyaenas once populated the caves of Britain. \n\n\n\nComplementing the exhibition is a sculptural installation by British artist Angela Palmer. Torus of Time is a visual and tactile symbol of the deep time that was being uncovered by these pioneering 19th-century palaeontologists. An elegant ring of 16 quarry stones drawn from across the United Kingdom\, the piece represents three billion years of geological time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Entry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed.

This hyaena jaw was found by William Buckland in Kirkdale cave in North Yorkshire in the 1820s. He initially thought the fossil showed evidence of the Great Flood having transported the animal to England. However\, further analysis showed the cave to have been a hyaena den from the Late Pleistocene\, 120\,000 years ago\, when Yorkshire would have been a lot warmer.\n\n\n\nHippopotamus. This watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\, is marked ‘MM’ – one of the few drawings signed with Mary’s maiden name. Morland was a gifted scientific illustrator whose drawings were used in scientific publications for William Buckland and others including Georges Cuvier.\n\n\n\nIchthyosaur with stomach contents. Exceptionally preserved\, this is one of Mary Anning’s finds of an ichthyosaur. Fish bones and scales\, visible inside the stomach area of the animal\, reveal the last meal of this marine reptile.\n\n\n\nMegalosaurus Jaw. This is the iconic fossilised jaw of Megalosaurus\, found in Stonesfield\, Oxfordshire\, and was used by William Buckland in the first ever scientific description of a dinosaur\, in 1824.\n\n\n\nProfessor and Mrs. Buckland and Frank. This silhouette of the Bucklands\, created by Auguste Edouart in 1829\, celebrates how the whole family was involved in the study of palaeontology.\n\n\n\nSynoptic view of the leading phenomena of Geology. The first plate in William Buckland’s Bridgewater Treatise VI: Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology. The Bridgewater Treatises was a series of eight volumes highlighting how science and faith could coexist. Buckland’s contribution argued that geology and palaeontology were consistent with the Bible and natural theology.

The course is suitable for a range of experience levels\, from complete beginners to those who have been using a scythe but feel that it could be working better for them. \n\n\n\nThe structure of the day will be as follows: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction and familiarisation\n\n\n\nSetting up an Austrian scythe\n\n\n\nMovement and technique\n\n\n\nMowing practice\n\n\n\nSharpening in the field\n\n\n\nMaintenance and peening of the blade\n\n\n\nThere will be a break for lunch at 12.30pm\n\n\n\n\nThe scythe is a highly efficient tool and is regarded as the appropriate technology for a wide variety of situations\, much wider than many would think\, from meadows and reedbeds to allotments and lawns\, in professional and amateur contexts. In addition to its efficiency\, versatility\, outstanding green credentials\, and health benefits for both body and mind\, the scythe is an extremely cost-effective tool. Once set up with a basic kit no further outlay is required\, and maintenance is simple and enjoyable. \n\n\n\nAbout the tutor \n\n\n\nNicole Clough is a Scythe Teacher and regional contact for the Scythe Association of Britain & Ireland. Find out more. \n\n\n\n“I train because I’m passionate about everyone getting a good initial experience with scything. The scythe has had bad press over recent years\, the main implications being that they are hard work\, cause backache\, and are less efficient than their machine equivalents. Yet the truth is quite the opposite. They are easy and a pleasure to use once the basic principles are understood; in fact\, many people fall in love with scything once they have tried it.” \n\n\n\nCourse details \n\n\n\nPlease arrive in time for a 10.00am start. The course is expected to finish by 4.30pm. \n\n\n\nThere will be a break for lunch. Due to the nature of the training\, the course will be held outside in the paddocks and meadow at Cogges\, therefore please wear or bring suitable clothing\, weather protection and stout footwear. Cogges Kitchen cafe will be open from 9.00am\, last orders at 4.00pm.  \n\n\n\nCosts \n\n\n\n6 places are available on this course. \n\n\n\nThe cost of the training is £110 per person\, including lunch.  Refunds are available only if we re-sell your place. \n\n\n\nMost attendees prefer to purchase an Austrian scythe in advance to set up and learn during the course. However\, Nicole has a limited number of training scythes that can be borrowed\, but this must be by prior arrangement\, and an additional hire cost of £20 will apply (contact Nicole in advance at https://joyofscything.uk/contact/). \n\n\n\nAttendees need only the basic Austrian scythe setup\, to include the following: \n\n\n\n\nSnath plus handles\n\n\n\nBlade (for grass and non-woody vegetation)\n\n\n\nScythe ring\n\n\n\nAllen key\n\n\n\n10mm spanner\n\n\n\nSharpening stone (canoe)\n\n\n\nStone sheath or suitable container to hold sharpening stone and water\n\n\n\nWork gloves to use whilst sharpening\n\n\n\n\nRecommended suppliers: Simon Fairlie – Supplier of Austrian Scythes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\n£110.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 14 June 2025 at 10.00am \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n6 hours 30 minutes\, including a lunch break \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nOutside in the paddocks and meadow URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/joy-of-scything-summer-workshop-at-cogges/2025-08-30/ LOCATION:Cogges Manor Farm\, Witney\, Church Lane\, Witney\, Oxfordshire\, OX28 3LA CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Scything-Workshop.webp GEO:51.7848825;-1.4762596 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cogges Manor Farm Witney Church Lane Witney Oxfordshire OX28 3LA;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Church Lane:geo:-1.4762596,51.7848825 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250830T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250830T160000 DTSTAMP:20250903T103309Z CREATED:20250802T175108Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250903T103309Z UID:10011187-1756555200-1756569600@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:How Does It Work DESCRIPTION:How Does It Work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout How Does It Work\n\n\n\nEver wondered how our ingenious scientific instruments work? \n\n\n\nJoin our volunteers for an afternoon getting hands-on with some of our collections — and see our amazing objects in action. \n\n\n\nAnd if you’re visiting as a family\, why not grab a Light and Space backpack to explore science stories in every gallery? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s on\n\n\n\nLight and Space Backpacks \n\n\n\nExplore science stories with hands-on activities throughout the galleries. \n\n\n\nWe worked with students from Iffley Academy special school and scientists from the Rutherford Appleton Space Lab to design these inclusive SEND-friendly packs that will appeal to children of all ages\, with our SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). \n\n\n\nGet hands-on with real objects \n\n\n\nOur team will show you ingenious scientific devices — so you can get hands-on and experience how they worked in practice. \n\n\n\nFamily Scavenger Hunt Trails \n\n\n\nFrom Spot the Animal to Mission: Morse Code\, discover a world of stories\, puzzles\, and treasures with our Family Scavenger Hunt trails. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree event; drop-in. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 26\, Sunday 27 July\, and Saturday 30 August 2025 from 12.00pm to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nSunday 31 August from 2.00pm to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n7+ \n\n\n\nAll welcome.

EMI decided to release a live ‘mini album’\, available at a reduced price. And thus\, was born ‘Real to Reel’\, a live album that really captures the essence and spirit of the band at that time. \n\n\n\nOn reflection\, this smart\, knee-jerk decision\, enabled the band to concentrate on writing the album that became the biggest-selling album of their career. \n\n\n\n‘Misplaced Childhood’ achieved Number 1 status in the album charts\, providing massive exposure with top 3 chart singles positions for ‘Kayleigh’ and ‘Lavender’\, and a healthy chart position for ‘Heart of Lothian’ too. \n\n\n\nKayleigh was only kept from the top of the charts by a worthy charity single but sold well over 200\,000 copies. You couldn’t turn the Radio on in 1985 and not hear that classic song of lost love and lost opportunities. And I seriously suspect everyone knows at least one Kayleigh! \n\n\n\nThis year Marquee Square Heroes will recreate the shows from this key period for Marillion\, performing not only a set that reflects that tour but also performing the entire classic Misplaced Childhood album\, as intended by the band in strict running order. As well as other classics\, not necessarily performed on that tour. \n\n\n\nA return to Banbury on the 40th anniversary of the album release will be a very special event – Marquee Square Heroes are delighted to celebrate the release of the album in The Mill Arts Centre. Featuring named musicians from the genre who have appeared across the world with members of Marillion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/wVav1zEN0V8\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£19.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 31 August 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance:  \n\n\n\n14+ \n\n\n\nContent guidance: \n\n\n\nModerate Language \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.

Those friends turned out to be Roy Orbison\, Tom Petty out of the Heartbreakers\, and Bobby Dylan himself. \n\n\n\nThe story goes that\, after the show\, the famous five wanted to hang out with the shy and retiring Unravelling Wilburys. They all got pretty drunk\, and it seemed like the Wilbury brothers had got their big break when Tom Petty allegedly said they should all work together. \n\n\n\nSix months went by and the Wilburys heard nothing. Then one day they were passing a record store and heard one of their own songs playing on the hi-fi. “Who’s this playing our song?” they said to the guy behind the counter. “Why\, it’s a new supergroup\,” the guy replied. “They call themselves The Traveling Wilburys.” \n\n\n\nYes folks\, it seems the Traveling Wilburys became a tribute band to our home-spun originals. \n\n\n\nWell\, a few years and more passed and finally the Unravelling Wilburys decided to ‘reclaim’ those songs\, putting together a set of all the hits and the best stuff Dylan\, Petty\, Orbison\, Lynne\, and Harrison could muster between ’em. Then they headed for the UK. The folks there ain’t got much of a clue about Country music and took to ’em straight away. \n\n\n\nPretty soon they were travelling all over the country\, from the Orkney Islands to the Isle of Wight; from Penzance to Perth; from Southwold to South Wales; packing out theatres along the way in towns whose names they’d never heard of and couldn’t pronounce. \n\n\n\nThe show features the best of the Wilbury albums (‘Handle with Care’\, ‘The End of the Line’\, ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’\, ‘Tweeter & The Monkey Man’ etc.) and some of their supposedly thievin’ counterparts’ numbers like ‘Only the Lonely’\, ‘Won’t Back Down’\, ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’\, ‘Like a Rollin’ Stone’ and ‘Mr. Blue Sky.’ The act even contains the kind of comedy only a band spending too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up. \n\n\n\nThe Unravelling Wilburys are now so popular they even got to be a question on the TV show ‘The Chase’. Now that’s fame…even if it ain’t fortune. \n\n\n\nSo- Ladies and Gentlemen\, turn off your hearing aid\, put your Zimmer frame to one side\, and prepare for a musical journey with Walter\, Blind Melon\, Sticky Willy\, Thumper and the Reverend Honky Tonk Wilbury. It’s a journey you ain’t gonna forget in a hurry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£22.75 \n\n\n\nPrices include a £1.00 Restoration Levy\, a £1.50 Booking Fee and a 25p Community Fund Levy. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 05 September 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 20 minutes \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\nOver 12s \n\n\n\nContent guidance:  \n\n\n\nSome innuendo\, drug references & very mild swearing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kenton Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nSituated in the centre of Henley-on-Thames\, the Kenton Theatre is the fourth-oldest working theatre in the UK and a registered charity.
