Whitewashed cottage with recent ‘eyebrow’ thatch in the village of Little Coxwell in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, England.
Little Coxwell, Oxfordshire, England: ancient Clove Cottage, whitewashed and with recent ‘eyebrow’ thatch. It used to be the village post office. To the right are other typical thatched dwellings, also built of stone rubble; unlike Clove Cottage, these dwellings are unpainted and the thatch is worn. Little Coxwell is a picturesque small village in the Vale of the White Horse in south Oxfordshire. The village was originally part of Royal Berkshire but came within Oxfordshire in 1974 when county boundaries were withdrawn. The nearest market town is Faringdon, 2 miles away, which lies on the old coaching road between London and the West Country. In the centre of the village is a pub (the Eagle Tavern) and a church (St Mary the Virgin) which was a Chapel of Ease built in the 1100s by the Monks of Beaulieu Abbey. A mile or so to the east of the village are the Coles Pits which ave been connected for generations with the merry nursery rhyme character of Old King Cole.
