The Icknield Way passes just to the south of Sydenham, Oxfordshire.
Its final destination is unknown, but some have proposed Caistor-by-Norwich (Caistor St Edmund) as a possible end point.

Sydenham's Parish Church, dedicated to Saint Mary, has a timber-framed bell tower dating from when the church was rebuilt in the mid-13th century. It is one of a number of wooden bell towers in South Oxfordshire, including the one at Saint Helen's in Berrick Salome.

Damn - too slow again!

Braiswick was another of the three Roman greenfield capitals in Britain.

Althought the nearest point-to-point course is called Marks Tey it is located at nearby Easthorpe

Lawford in Essex also has sedilia in a church (in the church of St Mary).

Stone seating such as sedilia are also to be found in certain cathedral Chapter Houses, the one at York Minster being a very fine example of this and a part of the minster we always visit, with the names of the members of the Chapter being set on the wall in each section. I never knew that Wetwang existed until I saw that particular nameboard.

If you fancy a drink in the Kings Arms Lawford it is less than a mile from Manningtree station by footpaths passing to the south of Lawford Hall

Not to be confused with the village of Kilburn in North Yorkshire.

 

[Darren R]

The Manor of Kilburn (the North Yorkshire one) passed to Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron Mowbray, in the 13th century. He was a member of the family who lent their name to Melton Mowbray.

Glad to have been of assistance!

Melton Mowbray is famous for its pork pies [amongst other things].

The good folks of Denby Dale also make pies - this one a giant communal pie to celebrate various occasions [the last one to celebrate the millennium].

Caldbeck is also a settlement at the foot of the mountain Skiddaw.

Caldbeck's most famous (or infamous, depending upon one's point of view) was John Peel, the legendary huntsman who is the subject of the 19th century song D'ye ken John Peel.

"John Peel" is the regimental march of the Queen's Own Yeomanry, whose Regimental Headquarters are in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
