The Lodge is the gatehouse to the mansion called Adderbury House which became a home for elderly after the 2nd World War. The two pubs you can see are The Red Lion (still exists) and The Wheatsheaf which is now a... [more]

Bodicote 1967 to 1970

We were stationed at Upper Heyford, England, my wife and I and our children. We lived in Bodicote, on Chapel Lane. Our children went to Bishop Loveday School. We liked it there. I hope someone reads this and sends us a memory note.
Thanks

BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE

We lived for a year in Middleton Cheney. My great grandfather was from England, but we never looked up relatives. I was only seven, but I remember so much of the town. We would go to market uptown everyday, our milk and bread was delivered, we had coal burning fireplace, we would go to get the paper everyday. We had good... [more]

The Thirties

My grandmother, widowed, lived during the 20s and 30s at 1, High Street (next to The Dolphin), and was glad of family visits to assist in her invalid-style of life.  That usually meant our family, and my mother took a number of 'Busman's Holidays' each year to help her mother, my Gran.   We children became familiar over the years with the...

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]

Abingdon Photographic Memories

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.

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]
