More about this scene
We are looking towards Back Lane. This is a street mainly of 16th- or 17th- century timber-framed cottages. In the garden of No 2, on the bottom left of the picture, a plague pit was found with the remains of five skeletons, a legacy of the Black Death in 1348- 9.

I went to school in Ramsbury from about 1959/1961, I remember the head teacher being a Mr Eastoe, I liked Ramsbury because we all used to gather at the river to go swimmimg, we used to buy an inner tube of a car at the local garage for 6 pence (old money of course).
