Childrey, Oxfordshire Weather
About Childrey, Oxfordshire
Childrey holds the quiet gravity of a place fashioned from the chalky bedrock of the Vale of White Horse. It lies 2.3 miles west of Wantage (from Wantage: bearing 266°T, OS grid SU 361 875), and is situated south-west of West Challow village. The light here catches the high, pale slopes of Windmill Hill, where the horizon seems to press closer against the sky than in the lowlands below. A spring-fed stream runs through the heart of Childrey, its water reflecting the ancient limestone walls of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin. To the south-west, the rise of Seven Acre Hill commands a watchful silence over the fields that have sustained the local agrarian life for generations. These slopes rise toward the high chalk escarpment, where the air grows thin and sharp, carrying the scent of damp earth and crushed flint. Childrey remains a sanctuary of stubborn permanence, indifferent to the hurried pace of the modern world.
