The July trip was to Banbury and Sulgrave Manor. The driver took us the scenic route which put the timings out of slightly!

The main attraction about Banbury is the Banbury Cross and a statue pertaining to be of the Fine Lady in the nursery rhyme – Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross.

After lunch, we moved on to Sulgrave Manor. Sulgrave is the ancestral home of George Washington. The manor is quite small – after a talk about the history, we had a tour of the house and wandered round the garden.
