  Notes	The mad poet, Christopher Smart (1722-1771) wrote in his poem Jubilate Agno: "Let Flexney, house of Flexney rejoice with Triopthalmos". The meaning of this, and indeed the meaning of the rest of the poem, is somewhat obscure!
  Photos		Witney Town Band 1850 Edward Flexney (b.1825) was a professional trumpeter in 1881. Band-playing in Witney was encouraged by blanket factory owners such as William Early, whose band was in existence by the 1840s. The Witney Temperance Band was founded in about 1850 "for society purposes and religious festivals".
