           <description><![CDATA[
  Five years ago Oxfordshire celebrated its 1,000th birthday, but I remember thinking at the time —and I hate to carp — that surely counties, like languages, came into existence gradually, rather than with a single event.

  Daring, dashing, grand, clever, humorous; yes. But academic, intellectual. . . ?

  Being brainy in 19th century Oxford was no fun, if the experiences of that tortured soul William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) are anything to judge by.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Fairford Church, just over the county boundary in Gloucesteshire, has the most complete set of early 16th-century stained glass windows in England, consisting of 28 windows dating from 1517, miraculously left more or less undamaged by either Henry VIII’s henchmen in the Reformation, or the Puritans 100 years later.

           <title>How Norman was Edward the Confessor?</title>
           
           <link>http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/leisure/history_heritage/9898990.How_Norman_was_Edward_the_Confessor_/?ref=rss</link>
           
           
           <description><![CDATA[
  How Norman was the saint and king, Edward the Confessor, born in Islip in about 1005, and now regarded as one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings? Answer: very. He left England for Normandy when he was
  only eight years old, and did not return for 28 years — apart from a short visit in 1036, following the death of his step-father King Canute of Denmark and England. Then he reappeared here in 1041,
  the year before he became King of England.

           <title>British Art from the 1950s: Basildon Park, near Reading</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  You have a new picture. Where to put it? Take something down, shift things around, a radical rethink, or what? Imagine if you have 29 works of art from the 1950s — rarely-seen paintings,
  photographs and sculptures — on loan from the Arts Council Collection to hang around the house. This was the task facing Donald Ramsay when the National Trust-owned Georgian mansion, Basildon Park,
  near Reading, was chosen as one of five properties to host loan pieces from the Arts Council Collection as part of the Trust New Art programme promoting contemporary and modern art in its historic
  places.
