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.
The history of the Phoenix?
There has been a cinema here since 1913. Orginally it the 'North Oxford Kinema', since when it has passed through many hands and names, including the Scala, the New Scala, the Studios 1 and 2, Studio X (a club showing soft porn) and finally in 1977 the Phoenix.
About the church bells?
Originally the Church only had the single ‘Barney’s Bell’. In 1890, when the clock was installed, it was decided to add a set of tubular bells to ring the chimes and the hour strike, as well as a tune or ‘carillon’. The are driven by an elaborate mechanical contraption.
