This is a beautiful little church, well worth the walk to get to it. My great-great-great grandfather is buried in the church yard and I went there in 2004, with my mother when she came home for what was to be her last visit. She died a short two years later from a muscle neuron disease and the wonderful... [more]

I travelled to Chipping Norton to start a new life. When I stepped off the coach on the high street and looked across the road I saw a very grand looking building and a sign saying The White Hart Hotel. My next thought was I am going to work in that hotel, which I did! I was also able to live-in,... [more]

As an eight year old boy I lived at Long Wivets, the third house in this photo. We lived there in 1955 and 1956. My father was Lt. Andrew Dill and he was stationed at Brize Norton. That was a very nice time of my life and I enjoyed Burford very much. If anyone remembers me or another member of my... [more]

All Saints' Parish Church was rebuilt in 1837 by William Fisher from Oxford, who kept the plain 13th-century west tower and reused several windows, doorways and arches. He was mainly a builder, but designed a few churches, including St Ebbe's in Oxford (1814-17). Above the porch door is a niche with a modern statue of Jesus with two lambs.

The last view in Marcham was taken from the parish church tower looking south-east towards Parkside, a large estate of 1950s former council houses. To the right behind the line of lime trees is the east arm of Church Street, which runs along the south side of the churchyard.
