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.

Cottage in Market Square

This lovely old end terrace cottage, number 19, overlooks the old oak in the square. In days gone by Market Square was the home of a fine array of village shops including grocers , butchers and bakers. The cottage may well have been one of them.
