Blue Plaque


Friday I took a little trip to Marston near Oxford as I happened to be nearby. I wanted to visit a church for My Grave Place Blog but I passed the road it was in and stopped to turn round near this house which had a Blue Plaque on the wall. Seemed it was quite an historic place.

 Seems the Civil War  affected even a small village near Oxford and it went down in history where Oxford was surrendered.

An interesting bit of history. I love these little reminders all over England.

Yes they are great, I like finding them, There is even one to Agatha Christie in our Village on the house she lived in. Mind you she is asl buried at the local church

For a moment I thought you might be in the Cotswolds. Looks super. Do love those great information plaques.

So do I, it gives a send of history to the place

Well Oxford is not that far away. You must have loads round where you live

It's a lovely building and it is good to see it has survived for so long!

There are many which survive and are well cared for like that in the UK

Such antiquity is amazing and it still looks beautiful.

Cute little house. One finds history in sometimes unexpected places.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

There are lots like that in this country that are well looked after

History is everwhere you just have to look round for it.

I completely agree, Bill.
