Banbury Cross (19th century) Banbury Nowadays the only cross gracing Banbury lies at the intersection of four major roads - those to Oxford, Warwick, Shipston-on-Stour and the High Street, which leads to the shopping area and the old heart of the town. It was erected in 1859 to commemorate the marriage of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa to Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia on 25th January 1858. It stands 52feet 6inches high to the top of its gilt cross and is of a neo-Gothic design. Originally six niches for statues were planned, but this was later reduced to three. http://www.banbury-cross.co.uk/banhistory.htm

	Combe Mill (19th century) Woodstock There has been a mill on this riverside site since before the Domesday Book. Visiting the site you will see a fully working beam engine and three other smaller steam engines together with a Cornish steam boiler that until recently was possibly the oldest working boiler in the country. There is a host of working and static nostalgia, much of which can be touched and handled and blacksmiths busy at the forge. Three Tower Clocks, two of which are from local churches, are on view. It is a marvellous place for a family picnic and an opportunity to discuss if you wish, technicalities with the enthusiastic members of the society. http://www.combemill.org
	Deddington Castle (ruin) (12th century) Bicester The site of Deddington Castle lies to the east of the town and comprises some 8 acres. At the present time it is a grassed-in enclosure surrounded by banks and trees on three sides, and is used as a recreational area for walking dogs and so on. There have been two recent archaeological "digs", one in 1947 and one in 1977. These have uncovered evidence of some Saxon building on the site, but the main evidence, both archaeological and documentary, is of the castle in the eleventh to fourteenth centuries. There was an inner bailey containing a stone hall, a solar and chapel, with a tower on the east side and a gatehouse on the west side giving access to the large outer bailey. Pottery from the 11th to 13th centuries was found on the site. http://www.deddington.org.uk/history/castle.html

Named for the nearby hamlet Radcot (the cottage by the road), it was mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Survey as owned by the king and farmed by Alsi of Faringdon as a two family unit of 24 acres. Traces of ridge and furrow are evident on both sides of the road. http://www.faringdon.org/hyradcot.htm
	Sheldonian Theatre (17th century) Oxford The Sheldonian Theatre was erected in 1664-8 to a design by Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) from funds donated by Gilbert Sheldon (1598-1677), who during his long career held office as Warden of All Souls Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury and was elected as Chancellor of the University of Oxford. In 1994 the Theatre was described by the European Commission as "one of the architectural jewels of Oxford". Its purpose was to provide an appropriate secular venue for the principal meetings and public ceremonies of the University, and this remains its purpose today. However, in addition to being a functional building of the University of Oxford, it is made available for hire to those who wish to promote recitals of serious music and other similar functions. It is also open as circumstances allow to those who wish to visit the building for its historical, architectural and contemporary interest. http://www.sheldon.ox.ac.uk/
