Mansfield Road, Oxford

Evidence of Bronze Age barrows together with later prehistoric and early Roman field systems was found on the site.

[7] The Mansfield Road Club was established in 1960 by Jack Cox and Rupert Cecil as a successor to the informal staff club which first met in the old Zoology Department in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and which later moved to a basement room in Keble Road.

[citation needed] Jack Cox joined the Biochemistry Department in 1926 at the age of 15, and retired after 50 years' service in 1976.

He was responsible for designing attachments for the Svedberg ultracentrifuge and other specialized equipment, and in 1978 he was awarded an MA for services to Oxford University.

A twenty-over cricket competition, the Jack Cox Cup, is now played each year in recognition of his contribution to the Club.
