More about this scene

West of Sutton Courtenay the route reaches Drayton. The older houses are mostly along the High Street, Church Lane and Abingdon Road. Church Lane runs north from the High Street towards its eastern end, with St Peter's Church a short way along it. The tower is 15th-century, but most of the rest was rebuilt in Victorian times. Until 1867 it was a chapelry of St Helen's Church in Abingdon with a curate in charge. To the left is the churchyard extension of 1869, while the war memorial lych gate dates from 1919.
