JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Jericho Community Association

Your representatives in Jericho

The Jericho Community Association (JCA) has five main tasks:

  • To administer the Jericho Community Centre
  • To establish a new community centre on the canalside site
  • To represent Jericho residents on local issues such as planning
  • To organize local events such as the annual Street Fair
  • To keep residents aware of local concerns

The JCA is a charitable incorporated organisation. Registered Charity No. 1168203

The Association is open to anyone who lives in Jericho or elsewhere and everyone is welcome to come to most of the monthly meetings which are held at the Community Centre on the second Monday of most months at 8.00 p.m.

The 2026 AGM was held in Exeter College on April e. As a result of the elections the management of the Association consists of:

Chair: Alex Hollingsworth (Canal Street)
Vice-chair: John Crabtree (Walton Street)
Secretary: Amy Stein (Cranham Street)
Treasurer: Peter Stalker (Cranham Street)

The other committee members are:  Michael Barnes, Nathan Breeze, Zoe Guy,  Phyllis Starkey,  Colin Runacres  and Micaela Tuckwell 

===================================================

For the past 20 years the JCA has been working towards establishing a new community centre on the vacant canalside site.

For this purpose, we have joined forces with two other other local organizations to form the Jericho Wharf Trust. They are  the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, and the Jericho Community Boatyard. The Trust also works closely with St. Barnabas Church

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.

The origins of Walton?

Walton is derived from "wall town" which was used centuries ago to indicate a location outside the Oxford city walls. The ancient manor of Walton was certainly in existence before the Norman conquest in 1066.
