His subject will be ‘Revising Pevsner’s Oxfordshire’. The Oxfordshire volume of Pevsner’s Buildings of England series was among the last to appear in 1974.

It is being revised, updated and expanded in two volumes, of which Alan Brooks’s Oxfordshire: North and West appeared in 2017. Dr Bradley’s companion volume on Oxford and the south east, to be published in 2023, includes much fresh research and addresses half a century of change.
