Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor church and chapel

Village snapshots of Southmoor and Kingston

As our combined villages are in a string development, at the Faringdon end in the west, the 'village' is in the parish of Longworth and so many people who seemed to have lived in this 'ribbon' of a village, attended the parish church at Longworth. Well to know when researching your family history.

Southmoor Methodist Chapel. In the room attached on the left hand side, the Sunday school was once held, and the playgroup meet.
