Cholsey railway station
Cholsey railway station, previously known as Cholsey and Moulsford railway station, is a railway station located in the village of Cholsey in Oxfordshire, England. The station is mainly served by services operated by First Great Western (FGW), and also is junction terminus for heritage railway services on the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway.
Wittenham Clumps
Wittenham Clumps is the commonly used name for a group of small hills in the otherwise flat Thames Valley, in the civil parish of Little Wittenham in the English county of Oxfordshire. They are mostly grassed, but are wooded at the top with ancient beech trees (planted in the 1740s), giving them a distinctive and prominent appearance. However, many of these have died or are dying. The area is a popular beauty spot, with a car park and paths for access on foot.
Cholsey Abbey
Cholsey Abbey was an Anglo-Saxon nunnery in Cholsey in the English county of Berkshire, which was founded in 986. After King Edward the Martyr was murdered, his stepmother, Ælfthryth, was implicated in the crime. Edward's death had allowed Ælfthryth's son, Ethelred the Unready, to become King of England. Both Ælfthryth and Ethelred were instrumental in establishing Cholsey Abbey: an act of expiation for Edward's death.
Brightwell Barrow
Brightwell Barrow is a bronze Age round barrow in the civil parish of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell in the English county of Oxfordshire. It lies just under a kilometre from Wittenham Clumps. Its position is marked by a small clump of trees on its peak. Brightwell Barrow is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the entry for Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.
Brightwell Castle
Brightwell Castle was in the village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, between the towns of Didcot and Wallingford, now in Oxfordshire but until 1974 in Berkshire, in England. The castle was built in 1145 by King Stephen. At the time there was civil war between himself and his cousin Matilda, whose headquarters were at nearby Wallingford Castle. In 1153 the castle was destroyed by Matilda's son, who later became Henry II. A manor house now stands on the site.
Project Timescape
Project Timescape is Northmoor Trust's visitor and education centre near the Wittenham Clumps, Little Wittenham, Oxfordshire, England. Project Timescape's aim is to educate and engage people in their local landscape and inspire them to take action to protect it.
Bear at Home
The Bear at Home is a 16th-century public house in the South Oxfordshire (England) village of North Moreton, near Wallingford. It retains many original 16th-century features, including timber-framed walls, inglenook fireplace and a well, but was extended sympathetically in 1980 to allow it to serve food. New features include a minstrel's gallery above the bar, which is almost certainly unique.
The Poem Tree
The Poem Tree was a beech tree with a poem carved into it by Joseph Tubb, located on Castle Hill at Wittenham Clumps in Oxfordshire, England. The tree, which was believed to be around 300 years old, collapsed through a combination of long-standing rot and inclement weather in July 2012. The poem was carved in the 1840s. A stone, including a transcription and rubbing of the poem, was erected close to the tree in 1994 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the carving.
