Banbury

Banbury is a medium-sized town in north Oxfordshire that is probably best known for its cross, which features in the famous nursery rhyme "ride a cock horse to Banbury cross". The current cross has been in existence since 1858, though there have been other crosses in Banbury prior to the current one.

Ride a cock horse ...

... to Banbury cross ...

... to see a fine lady upon a white horse ...

Banbury isn't just about crosses though. It is a busy town with plenty of shops.

Luckily today (31-12-06) was nice and quiet and good for taking photos!
