notes
The extension and enlargement of the North Oxford conservation area, with the inclusion of the Rawlinson Road conservation area on 16 July 1976, resulted in the creation of the consolidated North Oxford Victorian Suburb conservation area. It stretches from St Giles' in the south, to Frenchay, Staverton and Belbroughton Roads in the north; from the banks of the Oxford canal in the west, to those of the River Cherwell in the east, encompassing the essential North Oxford. Much of the area on which North Oxford now stands, formerly Walton Field and St Giles' Field, was acquired by St John's College in the 16th century. It was developed between Walton Manor and Summertown as a residential suburb of large detached and semidetached houses beginning in the 1850s with the laying out of Park Town (1853-5).
