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.

The Red Cow pub, Chesterton One of my best pictures in this area, and of a superb example of a traditional village pub. The Red Cow has stood proudly for many many years on the junction of the minor link road to the A41, and the minor through road that leads to Weston On The Green some 2 miles away. A lovely example of an old signpost is located here, though such signposts are sadly an increasing rarity.

A4095 Junction at Chesterton A view of the main junction in the village of Chesterton, on the A4095. To the right, the road leads past Bignell Park to Bicester, while to the left it winds and leads to the B430 and also Kirtlington. Shot was taken stood on an original and interesting 'village green'.
