Abingdon Photographic Memories

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. To the left and out of view is Denman College, formerly Marcham Park, a late Georgian mansion. Now owned by the National Federation of Women's... [more]
