Light Snow at The Maker Space The Crown at Nuffield was a lovely traditional pub in the Brakspears of Henley estate, but like so many country pubs these days couldn't keep going. It was closed for a long time <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5583827">SU6787 : The Crown closed inn beside the A4130</a> but happily is now open again as The Maker Space (at The Crown) aiming more at the coffee, cake and light meals market, and also as a craft centre.

Bike in the Porch Not sure if this was a scullery at Nuffield Place but was the start of the tour round the house, the bike is leant against the wall. I could not say if it was one of Lord Nuffield's early bikes.
