There’s no story to this week’s picture except that Noreen has ancestors who come from Chipping Norton. Coincidentally I have ancestors from just a handful of miles away at Churchill and Kingham.
This is the 17th century gateway to the almshouses, complete with wonky gate (which looks to be of the same sort of date as the stonework!). And as you can see the almhouses and gateway are on a really wicked hill down from the town to the church.
