More about this scene
Surrounded by rolling hills, this has to be one of the most beautiful villages in Oxfordshire. J C Loudon, author of the Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm and Villa Architecture and Furniture, designed it as an estate village in the 19th century. Golden ironstone cottages topped with thatch, nestling beneath shady trees, make it the perfect idyll.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I went to Tew Park in September 1940 as an evacuee, the manor house had been taken over by a school for handicapped children from Fulham, south west London. I was 13 years old and the only child from Tottenham. I soon made friends with the other children, even some from the village of Great Tew, and in 1941 I was May Queen and a boy from the village was May King. I left in 1942 and returned to Tottenham. I am the mother of Terry Maloney, my maidon name was Peggy Oliver.
