I used to live in The Pound at Goosey. As a pub it seemed massive to me when I was a lot younger, now I realise that in fact it was really small and intimate for a pub. I used to love the huge open fireplace, the smell of the wood smoke mingling with the smell of the beer. I used... [more]

I used to live at 1st Nicholas Place and use the shop in the photo when I was a child growing up in the village. The memories I have of the village were of good times.

My father was a bank manager in Faringdon in the 1970s and managed the accounts of the Pusey estate and the Hornby family, owners of the estate. On one occasion, during an annual fete, Dad was asked to act treasurer of the fete. He asked me to help him. On that day, two Puseys were in Pusey village.
My Pusey... [more]

This is the best picture yet of that great old tree that I have found. I sat on its roots at the age of 5 years back in 1939, and all through the war it was a great place to sit out of the rain.
I have a picture of it when it was young, and a picture of its stump... [more]

I lived in the house immediately behind "the big tree" from 1973-1975. I was only 8 or 9 years old and have fond memories of climbing in the lower reaches of that tree. I have a photo my parents took of the tree in the winter, and one can see how massive the tree's upper branches and trunk were in spite... [more]

In 1955 my husband who was in the American Air Force was stationed a Brize Norton, and we lived in a house which I think was called Brookfield in Uffington. I had my son Gerard at the John Radclife Hospital in Febuary 1955. I am Scottish and still live in Scotland. My son now lives in Buckinghampshire. My daughter and myself... [more]

My grandfather, John Carstairs, moved to Whatcombe after partition in Ireland. He had been Land Steward for Captain Cliff of Belle Vue, Wexford but was described on his death certificate (1931) as formerly electrician at racing stables. He lived at Whatcombe Cottages. After his death, the family moved to Fawley. We have no family papers as his widow deliberately destroyed everything... [more]

Abingdon Photographic Memories
Until the mid 19th century, Abingdon grew little beyond its Tudor limits, but in the 1860s an estate of villas around a public park was set out to the north of Ock Street. The park itself was presented by Christ's Hospital charity, who ran the almshouses. Little was developed until the later 1870s, but Albert Park heralded a new era of... [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. 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]
