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.
Steeple Aston view
This fine old house, originally a barn which has been on this site for 400 years and built in Hornton stone reflects a wonderful warm glow in the early evening autumn sun.It enjoys a view across the Cherwell Valley to Steeple Aston and the Oxford Canal passes just below its boundary.
