Headington public library is situated in Bury Knowle House, located in the north-west corner of Bury Knowle Park. 100 yds further along this path there is an entrance/exit into North Place. Henry M. Beaufoy, Chairman of a London-based vinegar manufacturing company and his family were its last private owners. He sold the house and the park to the City Council in 1931. This public park opened in 1932 and Bury Knowle Library (re-christened Headington Library in 1999) opened in 1934. The house was built c.1800 for Joseph Lock (1760-1844), an Oxford goldsmith and banker who was Lord Mayor of Oxford in both 1813 and 1829.
