My dad had a yard here before the houses were built back in the 40s. He bought his first cows and used to milk them in a barn there. I can remember as a small child being in the barn with mum and dad when an aeroplane crashed just behind the village hall on the corner of the cross roads close by. The pilot had parachuted out and survived. The plane was trying to get back into Upper Heyford at the time. It must have been near the end of the war or just after. No one was hurt anyway.
