FOR the first time in 100 years the ancient palace of the
Bishops of Oxford at Cuddesdon is empty. It is too ancient.
Because of this and its comparative isolation the new Bishop, Dr. Kenneth Kirk, has decided not to live there.
The palace, which has soven reception rooms and 29 bed- rooms, was rebuilt in 1664, after being burned down... It was last brought "up to date" by Bishop Wilberforce-in 1846.
MAJOR
The kitchen is without modern! equipment.
A further reason for the palace's present emptiness is the inaccesal- bility of Cuddesdon. Although the

His predecessors dealt with the situation by having a room in the Diocesan Church House at Oxford, and he is carrying that
step farther.
He has transferred the entire secretarial and administrative side of the bishop's work from Cuddesdon to Oxford.
Dr. Kirk was formerly Canon of Christchurch and at the moment is still in his rooms at the college.
His accretary will be in attendance throughout the day at the Dioceson offices and so far as it is possible for bishop to keep "office hours" he hopes to do so.
