Background
Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board was founded in 1999 to commemorate notable persons and sites of historic interest and to provide a channel for members of the public to suggest such persons and sites throughout the county.
As a voluntary body of fifteen members chaired by the Lord Lieutenant and representing a broad spectrum of interests, the Board has no money of its own and must seek sponsorship for each plaque. From the outset, Oxford Civic Society has been closely involved and has assisted with administrative costs.
To date, more than 26 plaques have been unveiled since the first one to Sarah Cooper in the High in 2001.
To find out how the scheme works or to suggest a site, visit the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board website. Biographical notes on each of the blue plaques pictured are also just one click away.
