JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
The cafe is back
Our popular Saturday morning cafe is running again. We have a new cafe manager Andrea Berryman. Menu includes full English breakfasts plus tea and coffee at affordable prices. From 10.30 am to 12.00 noon, every Saturday.
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.
Where the name Jericho comes from?
The name Jericho is probably taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan. Traditionally the name was given to places where travellers who arrived after the town gates had closed at sunset could find lodgings overnight.
