Picture above is Langelys Park taken on early on an October morning.

One of the most notable and distinctive buildings in the village centre is "Badynghams" known locally "The Guildhall" an "E" shaped timber framed house with four sets of distinctive original chimneys. The house has had many alterations throughout its long history but most of what we see today dates from the late 16th to the early 17th century. For many years the building served as the main village store and post office at that time it had a Georgian façade filing the space between the two wings. It was restored to its present state in the 1960s and made into a private house. Since this picture was taken the distinctive black beams and white plaster render have been lime washed. The picture below shows the house viewed from Banbury Square with the village war memorial in the foreground. The memorial commemorates those village men that gave their lives in the two world wars of the last century.
