TOWERSEY
The village is centred on the Thame Road / Chinnor Road / Manor Road / Church Lane crossroads. Many of the houses in the village are 20th century although here and there are some older properties, several of which are set back from the road.
The village church, St. Catherine's is thought to date from the 12th century, although the chancel dates from the 13th century, and the nave from the 14th century. In the mid-nineteenth century the church was restored and the bell tower added in a slightly unusual position on the south side of the nave. For the history and full information about the St. Catherine's Church click here. The Towersey Village Festival, an annual festival of folk and world music and traditional dance, is held in the village every August bank holiday weekend. The festival attracts approximately 10,000 people each year. Towersey is about 1.5 miles east of Thame, between the A4129 and the B4445. |
