Ascott Under Wychwood, Holy Trinity Church 1950

More about this scene
Midway between the ancient sites of two Norman motte and bailey castles at the extreme ends of the village, Holy Trinity Church is the topographical as well as the spiritual centre of Ascott; old stone houses are grouped round it on all sides. There are traces of all ages in its fabric and furnishings - but most striking is the tapestry covering the west door, which was worked by local people and depicts the village as it is today. Here, pictured with approaching a million stitches, is the parish at work and play, at church and home: the Scouts and Cubs and various clubs, the farms, the train that does not halt at Ascott Halt but can be heard rumbling its way past the village, the Morris dancers, and the Ascott Martyrs - a delightful commemoration of the small community.
