Wolvercote community orchard
May 26, 2015
Opposite the Trout at Godstow
Overgrown but still loved and tended.
The well in the centre with a plaque to Ralph Austen.
Most trees labelled.
Next door the allotment from which the orchard was created, and at the back some beehives.
Ralph Austen was a 17th century nurseryman, cider maker, and early environmentalist from Oxford.
