About Jericho

Jericho, a suburban district within the Oxford area of Oxfordshire, carries a subtle charm that belies its proximity to the bustling university city. It lies 1.0 km north-west of Oxford (from Oxford: bearing 315°T, OS grid SP 506 069). The gentle curve of the Oxford Canal, often graced by narrowboats painted in bright, cheerful colours, forms a watery artery through Jericho, reflecting the sky in its placid surface. Historically, this area developed in the 19th century to house workers for the burgeoning industries of Oxford, and a sense of communal spirit still lingers in its Victorian terraces and independent shops. The light here, filtering through the mature trees that line its streets, possesses a particular softness, lending an almost painterly quality to the brickwork and the small, well-tended gardens. Jericho’s own market, held on a Sunday, brings a lively buzz, a vibrant counterpoint to the quiet hum of everyday life, filling the air with the scent of fresh produce and baked goods.
