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.
Margaret Thatcher used to live here?
In her Oxford days, she lived at 12 Richmond Road. It is alleged she shared the house with two red-hot communists who lived on a diet of sausages. This may account for her later views on socialists and known dislike of sausages.
