High-resolution 3D models of over 60 ceiling carvings in Oxford's Divinity School have been published online. The 15th-century carvings include religious symbols, mythical animals, and coats of arms, but there is still debate over their interpretation. sketchfab.com/ARCHiOx/models

Got mad? More like mild surprise that a 'progressive newspaper' apparently didn't care about their writer's unfair comments, bullying and ensuing pile-on that resulted from their own innocuous plug for a local WI. Simply because the WI National Federation had (reluctantly) complied with the law.

Ryan Bridge, national leader of Raise the Colours, has been charged with 14 public order offences after RTC’s flag-raising activities in Oxfordshire. The charges relate to reported incidents between 31 January and 31 March, which includes the day when Bridge and acolytes “flagged” Abingdon Road.

The Curse of Waitrose Free Coffee Machines (Oxfordshire only) has struck again, this time to the poor citizens of Headington in Oxford. Our usual advice would be to head to the nearest branch outside of Oxfordshire instead, but as it’s the Reading festival this weekend, you’re on your own, pal.

Working out at an average of about £615 an MP this is (1) a lot less than I expected (2) unlikely to undermine democracy and, (3) the list in The Guardian mostly focuses on cultural stuff (concerts, sport, flower shows) and I don't really have a problem with that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This cheeky chimney pot once let out smoke from a merchant’s house in the High Street of 14th-century Oxford. It was found when excavations were made for new buildings in the 19th century. Made of unglazed, fired clay, you can see where the facial features have been moulded by hand.
