NEW TEAM AT THE GUILDHALL

   
Its all change at the Guildhall. Vanessa Oliveri (pictured left) has now taken over the reins as Town Clerk and is already well in control of things. Vanessa has been Deputy for several years and has been well-coached by Michael Fletcher - who is still available to dispense his wisdom on particularly tricky matters! 

 

 

History of the Town Hall

 

Chipping Norton town councillors set up an appeal in the 1890s to raise money for a chain to mark Queen Victoria's Jubilee. Among the people approached was town councillor and MP Albert Brassey, who lived at Heythrop Park, near Enstone. He generously told the town council to order what they would like as a chain and he would meet the full cost. The elaborate chain of office was supplied by Chipping Norton jeweller Simms and made by the Goldsmiths Company at 112 Regent Street, London. The money already raised through the appeal was used to buy a set of fur-trimmed mayoral robes, which are still used at the annual mayor-making in the town hall and other civic events.
