Centurie de la Porte du Nord

Included within the liberty or suburbs of Oxford were the manors of Binsey, Medley, North and South Oseney, Walton, and Holywell, as well as Port Meadow, and the meadows west of Oseney which were held of the lord of Headington in the 12th century. Much of the liberty was considered to belong to a hundred called Northgate. There were substantial settlements at Twentyacre, near Walton, and at Wyke, south of Medley. Binsey and Medley have remained in most respects distinct from Oxford, and their history is described in full in this section. The other settlements were tied to the town more closely and only their manorial and agricultural history is described here.
