Near Fairspear Farm

The road to Ascott under Wychwood. Just around the bend is an entrance to Crown Farm Cross Country Course & Training Centre. I am guessing the platforms in the field are something to do with that.

Cross Country Course

A roadside sign nearby is for "Crown Farm Cross Country & Training Centre." Presumably this is part of it.

The Old Chapel, Leafield

Now a family home with a decorative panel above the door bearing the chapel's original date of 1883. There is also a carved plaque on the front wall bearing the inscription "This tablet was erected by the family of the late Robert Abraham of Ringwood, Minster Lovell in memory of their father who in the year 1883 gave this chapel manse and adjoining buildings for the worship of God by Protestant dissenters."
