Pullens Lane (a.k.a. Pullen's Lane[1]) is in Headington, east Oxford, England. It is located at the top of Headington Hill, leading north off Headington Road to Jack Straw's Lane and Harberton Mead. The cul-de-sac Pullens Field (a.k.a. Pullen's Field, named in 1972[1]) leads off west from Pullens Lane. HistoryThe lane was named after the Rev. Josiah Pullen (1631–1714), vicar of St Peter-in-the-East in central Oxford (where he is buried) and Vice-President of Magdalen Hall.[2] He used to walk in this area to the top of Headington Hill and admire the view of Oxford. He planted an elm tree in the locality in about 1680. The tree became known as Joe Pullen's tree, but was destroyed by a fire on 13 October 1909. There is a tablet in the wall of Davenport House here recording the event on the east side of the lane. The road was named Pullen's Lane in 1930.[3] BuildingsPullens Lane includes a number of notable buildings,[4] especially by the Victorian architect Harry Wilkinson Moore (1850–1915).[5] Buildings by Wilkinson include:

The site is now occupied by the EF International Academy (formerly the EF International Language School).[10]GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite book| title=The Origins of Oxford Street Names | publisher=Robert Boyd Publications | chapter=Pullen's Field | year=2010 | page=174 |isbn=978 1 899536 99 3 | last1=Symonds | first1=Ann Spokes | last2=Morgan | first2=Nigel }} {{coord|51|45|32|N|1|13|37|W|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^{{cite book| title=The Encyclopaedia of Oxford | publisher=Macmillan | chapter=Pullen's Lane | year=1988 | pages=341–342 |isbn=0-333-39917-X | editor-last=Hibbert |editor-first=Christopher |editor-link=Christopher Hibbert }} 3. ^1 {{cite book| title=The Origins of Oxford Street Names | publisher=Robert Boyd Publications | chapter=Pullen's Lane|year=2010 | page=175 |isbn=978 1 899536 99 3 | last1=Symonds | first1=Ann Spokes | last2=Morgan | first2=Nigel }} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Sherwood |first1=Jennifer|last2=Pevsner|first2=Nikolaus|authorlink2=Nikolaus Pevsner | series=The Buildings of England | title=Oxfordshire | year=1974|location=Harmondsworth |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=0-14-071045-0 |page=338 }} 5. ^Andrew Saint, Three Oxford Architects, Oxfordshire Architectural and Historical Society, UK. 6. ^The Vineyard (Pollock House), Pullens Lane, Headington, Oxford, UK. 7. ^Napier House (later Cotuit Hall), Pullens Lane {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328041507/http://headington.org.uk/history/pullens_lane/napier_cotuit.htm |date=28 March 2014 }}, Headington, Oxford, UK. 8. ^Pullen’s Gate/Brockless Cottage, Pullens Lane {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007160436/http://www.headington.org.uk/history/pullens_lane/pullens_gate.htm |date=7 October 2008 }}, Headington, Oxford, UK. 9. ^About the School, Rye St Antony School, Oxford, UK. 10. ^1 The Pullens (later Fairfield), Pullens Lane {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120906041129/http://headington.org.uk/history/pullens_lane/pullens_fairfield.htm |date=6 September 2012 }}, Headington, Oxford, UK. 11. ^Joseph Kirwin Obituary {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110702074222/http://archive.oxfordmail.net/2005/3/31/4184.html |date=2 July 2011 }}, Oxford Mail, 31 March 2005. 3 : 1930 establishments in England|Streets in Oxford|Oxford Brookes University |
