Our Jericho

Our Jericho is a slice of life in Jericho in 2019. It was inspired by the 1974 TV programme Open Door Jericho

This film has been produced by one of the original makers, Maggie Black, with director/editor Nicola Josse of Film Oxford. Forty-five years on, Our Jericho also stars many current local residents and canal boat dwellers, along with its magnificent church, its school, community activities, businesses, pubs, artists and singers.

How religious we are?

In the 2001 Census, some 50% of Jericho residents said they were Christian, 2.2% Muslim, 1.9% Buddhist and 1.2% professed other religions, while 34% of people said they had no religion. In Oxford as a whole the proportion with no religion was 24%.

The origins of Nelson Street?

Nelson Street takes its name from a local pub, the Lord Nelson, subsequently renamed Carpenters’ Arms -- which has since been converted to housing.
