Wonderful photos Paula!!!  :)

I don't suppose any of the Denchfield stones were in good enough shape to read?  How awesome it would be to find a stone for someone who was buried on one of the torn out bits......  :-\

By the By, I got some Ingram wills in the mail.....I'm hoping they're relatives of the one or two who married Denchfields  :) :)

Hi Claire,
When I went there some 20 years ago there were a few very crumbly stones that looked as they they had a D on them.
Son and I traced our fingers on any letters we could find, and I think they were a collection of Denchfields ... of course we didn't have a camera that day.
When we came back down to Oxfordshire after many happy years in the Highlands of Scotland, those stones had been taken away. We were bitterly disappointed as we had the camera ready ...
Good luck with the Ingrams.

Half a dozen more photos of North Marston.
At last we have had the film from the other camera developed. :)

Last two from me
If anyone visits North Marston and takes photos, please please please put some more on this thread. I'd love to see them.

By the way, if anyone does go there, watch out for this dear old cat, you can just make him out, strolling up the road by the church.
He is the most adorable old darling you could ever meet.

How very nice for Overseas members to see pictures like these Paula,
It looks like 'Olde' England should do.
If they are also researching family here,
I am sure that they will love them.

You must have been lucky, or this is a very quiet Village,
I am struck by the lack of traffic.
