ONE MINUTE HISTORIES
Wheatley Park, Oxford

We have recently completed a two-week residency at Wheatley Park School in Oxfordshire, working with year 7 pupils to complete a series of short films interpreting the history of the site.

Working with 84 students over six days, we helped produce 14 films covering such extraordinary stories as Cromwell's visit, the Moat and former Norman castle, the WW2 head injuries hospital, the many ghosts that haunt the site, the profits of slavery and England's fifth oldest living tree.

Teams of students had a single day to create their own one-minute history of the site.

A sample film can be viewed on the left, along with Fowler+Sumner's own response to the project.
