Bus Pass Bandit - Part Sixteen: FENNY COMPTON

Saturday 6th April 2024 sees the Bus Pass Bandit plundering the farther reaches of Warwickshire again, this time with an emphasis on Fenny Compton near the Burton Dassett Hills...

Fenny Compton is situated in south-east Warwickshire, close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire and about eight miles from Banbury. St Peter's & St Clare's is the parish church.

It would have been rude not to have sampled the Merrie Lion...

... so here's some Old Rosie and a fabulous fish tank!

An old disused Wesleyan Chapel at Knightcote dated 1837.

Onwards to Bishop's Itchington and a welcome stop at the Butchers Arms in shades of pale green.

Time for Timothy Taylor's Landlord at the Butchers Arms.

St Michael's Church at Bishop's Itchington looks charming in the April sunshine.

A view over Bishops Bowl Lakes, positioned on the site of a former limestone quarry which has been reclaimed by nature.

And a final stop at the Gamecock in Harbury, a village the Bandit knows very well.

London Pride as accompanied by a suitable Piccadilly Circus artwork.

Harbury Village Hall is the location for many memorable beer festivals!
