Chesterton Lodge, Chesterton A striking and superb building located near The Red Cow pub, in Chesterton ( near Bicester). I believe this building to be 'Chesterton Lodge', though I am not certain of this. The round windows and domed details to the roof add to the striking appearance of this overlooked building.
