Vintage shops might have something of the sort, but not likely in Oxford.
It seems to be the late Victorian period as well as the Edwardian which really went for the big hair and small, tipped-forward hat thing - see here. Perhaos widen your search to both periods?
If you can find a felt or fabric hat of an appropriate shape you might be able to alter the brim to the shape you want. Alternatively, buy something with a stupid alice band, remove it from the band, and attach it with a hat pin (which, if all else fails, you can buy from a craft shop like Hobbycraft and decorate yourself with a couple of beads to match your outfit or the hat).
