Geograph - photograph every grid square

The school, along with the almshouses just next door, were founded in 1437 - and much of the 15th-century fabric has survived. The brickwork is said to be some of the very earliest in Oxfordshire, the work of East Anglian brick-layers in the employ of the Earl of Suffolk.

The timber structure projecting from the gable-end is the belfry. The bell, I have to say, is a great deal bigger than the traditional hand-bell I remember from primary school days. I imagine that in earlier centuries - before every household owned a clock - it was sounded to summon pupils in from the countryside around.

A detail I didn't expect to capture in this shot is the swift, top right - a pleasant reminder of a very warm July afternoon.
