ABOUT JERICHO - VIDEOS
The walls of Jericho
Artists at work in Jericho in 2002.
The film was made by Martin Lipson and Joe Gualtieri in 2003 for Artweeks, both having then recently completed a video-making course at Oxford Film and Video Makers (now called Film Oxford).
It showcases a number of artists working in various mediums in and around Jericho at the time.
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.
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%.
