The Forum was a sponsor of an information display board at Godstow Abbey on Port Meadow. This was a joint enterprise together with the School of Geography and the Environment of Oxford University and the Ashmolean Museum following a competition and support from the Higher Education Funding Council.

In May 2016 the display board was unveiled by the Vice Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire in the presence of the Mayor of Oxford, members of Oxford University, the Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum and the public. The event included tours on the history and conservation of the abbey ruins. Oxford Waits provided musical accompaniment.
