Heyford Houses
The houses in this village, situated on the edge of the Cotswold Hills are nearly all built of stone. There is a well matched blend of Cotswold limestone and some Hornton stone which reflects a golden hue and is quarried near Banbury. Many of the houses and cottages are thatched. It is not often that a thatcher cannot be found at work in the village.I am exhibiting just a very small selection, almost at random, of my image bank which includes the majority of the diverse village stock. Interestingly and perhaps unusually no two stone houses are alike.
The Mill House
This is one of the most imposing properties in this essentially unpretentious village. Two very large oak gates prevent all but the occasional glimpse of the house.I do not impose upon owners so to take this picture I had to balance my camera on the top of the gates which have a curved frame. I use Photoshop as little as possible but it has been necessary to correct a significant resulting slant!
