Oxfordshire Villages

Unfortunately some of the photos tend to show the villages "warts and all" as this is how they are on a typical day - littered with parked cars and vans, a plethora of road signs and a forest of telegraph poles. Once a week refuse bags, wheelie bins and recycling boxes spoil the appearance even more! Despite this I hope you enjoy my photos. If you find them interesting why not visit some of the villages as they are still well worth seeing? It would be good to know if you visit any of them as a result of seeing them on Oxfordshire villages. If you do I'd love to know, so please email me and let me know. If you come across any errors in the description perhaps you could tell me and I will put them right. I must acknowledge the following reference sources for some of the information I have included: The Oxfordshire Village Book, published by Countryside Books and updated by the Oxfordshire Federation of Women's Institutes, Philip's County Guide Oxfordshire, Harry Knight's Upper Thames Valley Today, David Nash Ford's Royal Berkshire History - www.berkshirehistory.com, A Dictionary of English Place-Names published by the Oxford University Press, the free online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, the numerous village websites to which I've provided links and numerous other sources I've come across whilst idly googling for information. Some of the information about churches has been obtained from leaflets or flyers published by the churches I have visited. |
