Oxfordshire villages have these characteristic "gates" at the village entrances. They are not useable as gates; they just give the appearance of entering something and help slow traffic. The verges have been left to grow naturally. The first building is the old school, now a private house.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This long row of houses (about 30 in groups of three) is actually at an angle to the road. So the verge where the red car is parked gets wider as one goes east until at the far end a separate road has been created.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The crop this year is beans, interspersed with many poppies. Looking towards Leckhampstead Farm (beyond the hedge).

Dist:0.4km<br/>At the edge of the playing field is this well-preserved lawnmower. It does not appear to be used these days, but you feel it would not take much tlc to make it so.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The war memorial is at the northern end of the village on a substantial green triangle. This is the south face. Wikipedia informs us that "it comprises an obelisk on a plinth with two clock faces, one facing north and one facing south, which incorporate various types of ammunition in them. The chains surrounding the monument are from a battleship that took part in the Battle of Jutland and they are supported on spent shell cases".

Dist:0.4km<br/>The manor is an impressive building, but times are hard as only part of it appears to be used. I'm intrigued by the white building in front.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Some of the buildings of Manor Farm, west of Leckhampstead.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This time from the north, with the village hall (1910) behind. The clock, surprisingly is actually working and telling the right time (to within a couple of minutes).
