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.
Nice building. The plaque is a beautiful blue colour too.
ReplyDeleteThere is another one commorating a person who lived in the house along the road
DeleteAn interesting bit of history. I love these little reminders all over England.
ReplyDeleteYes 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
DeleteHow exciting. Love blue plaques.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, it gives a send of history to the place
DeleteFor a moment I thought you might be in the Cotswolds. Looks super. Do love those great information plaques.
ReplyDeleteWell Oxford is not that far away. You must have loads round where you live
DeleteIt's a lovely building and it is good to see it has survived for so long!
ReplyDeleteThere are many which survive and are well cared for like that in the UK
DeleteSuch antiquity is amazing and it still looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots like that in this country that are well looked after
DeleteCute little house. One finds history in sometimes unexpected places.
ReplyDeleteHistory is everwhere you just have to look round for it.
DeleteI completely agree, Bill.
DeleteThank you Dana, you would be surprised what you can find even round where you live
