Cropredy, The Oxford Canal c.1960
Photo ref:
C291006
More about this scene
Some of the soldiers who were killed in the furious battle of 1644 are buried in the village churchyard. Various sources suggest that the people of Cropredy, fearing for the church possessions, seized an exquisite eagle lectern and hurled it into the river to prevent enemy forces from snatching it. The eagle was recovered 30 years later.
