Talk:Botley, Oxfordshire

"Seacourt Tower, known locally as 'Botley Cathedral'" - I've lived in Botley for years and never heard anyone call it "Botley Cathedral". Sosie 12:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, perhaps you don't know the poem by Paul Sutton: Botley Cathedral Curved glass opacity blank as a Kubrik monolith a spire on top like the RKO transmitter placed there to reconcile modernity with antiquity and complement a famous no longer somnolent view. Situated due west on clear evenings it catches the sun’s final light then reflects it back east in blinding gold and black tribute to the colours of the city.

@Sosie. I've lived in Botley since the Sixties. My parents always called it Botley Cathedral.Ajp2000 (talk) 09:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)ajp2000

"Village"?
Does it really make sense to describe Botley as a 'village'? It's a suburb of 1930s and later housing and is physically contiguous with the rest of urban Oxford. Admittedly it falls under Vale of White Horse District Council rather than Oxford City Council, but that's just a historical accident (it was in Berkshire until 1974.) No doubt some of the posher Botley residents would like to consider themselves as living in a separate village, but it simply isn't the case. --Ef80 (talk) 13:58, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
