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.
