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 Old Forge
A lovely old property, which used to be the village forge. The garden goes down to the canal. The wisteria, which needs constant maintenance, is a feature of the front elevation. This is a stunning picture at A3 and I have to confess to the removal of the overhaed power cables in Photoshop.
