My Illustrated county map of Oxfordshire.  The awe-in-spire-ing city of Oxford sits at the heart of this county, with its bounty of colleges, amazing architecture and a diving shark! It hosts part of the beautiful Cotwolds, the great Uffington horse in the Vale of the Horse, chalky hills of the North Wessex Downs and the Chilterns. The Thames winds its way through quintessentially English towns and villages. I’ve illustrated a selection of famous landmarks from megalithic monuments and great gardens, to a crocodile zoo. Famous birthplaces, from Churchill to Alfred the Great. Prancing ponies at Blenheim, fair ladies, fairytales near Chipping Norton and ox horns at Abingdon. Battlegrounds and crumbling castles old and new. Breweries to power stations. I hope there’s plenty for the eye to feast upon.
