This land has been fenced and left uncultivated. Somewhere in the middle distance HS2 will be in a cutting heading somewhat to the right. On the left here a solitary machine is moving earth near the Coventry Road out of Cubbington, which will be diverted to cross the railway by an overbridge. Locations are estimated. Tanner's Barn near here, shown on the 1:25 k map, appears to have been demolished in the past. Link

The view is south along Coventry Road towards Cubbington: a racetrack. HS2 will come out of the skyline left of centre and cross roughly where the solitary digger is working. Coventry Road will be diverted on to an overbridge, landing somewhere here judging by the fencing, left. Note the tree stump. Locations are estimated

North Cubbington Wood

This is a mixed deciduous and pine woods on the north side of the B4453 just west of Weston Under Wetherly. The stubble in the foreground field appears to be from a crop of oilseed rape.

This recently ploughed field is just east of the Coventry Road north of Cubbington. The wood on the left in the distance is Waverley Wood and that on the right Weston Wood, both in SP3570.

Cancelled Bench Mark on St Giles Church

Situated on the south east corner wall the two lines at the top of the mark indicate that it is no longer functional. A flush bracket can be located near by.
