More about this scene

Old Bridge Road c1955 The hilltop village of Bloxham has a striking parish church with an intricately designed late 14th-century tower and spire, possibly completed by the same masons who worked on neighbouring Adderbury church. The two spires, along with that of King's Sutton, are described in the following lines: 'Bloxham for length, Adderbury for strength, And King's Sutton for beauty'.

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.
