More about this scene

Cricklade, ten miles from the Thames source, is an ancient town with evidence of Anglo-Saxon town walls as well as of Roman occupation. It has two medieval churches, the splendidly towered St Sampson behind the High Street, and the less grand St Mary's at the north end of the High Street, which has this fine complete 14th-century churchyard cross.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The Luce family lived at Alex Farm, Audrey and I were best friends at Cirencester Grammar School, I used to love staying at the farm with Aunty Gwen, Uncle Gil, Colin, Tony, Peggy and Audrey and doing farm chores. We were sent to Cricklade on bikes to shop and had to go beside the gravel pits (now the water park I guess) and we were always looking out for the swans there as they would attack if there were cygnets.
