Wick Hall and Barrow Hills, Abingdon. Drone and a bit of history

Saturday morning. 30th March 2024.

Out for a drone video but then realised after doing the googling for the description words.
I can get a bit of history in as well. Use a bit of old footage from July 2020.
So I have.

Wick Hall
Wick Hall is located between Radley and Thrupp Lake, off Audlett Drive. It is a Grade II* listed country house, built in about 1720 for the Tomkins family. The decoration includes Flemish wood panelling, taken from Exeter College chapel. The house was acquired by the Dockar-Drysdale family in 1850, and extended for them by Charles Bell in the 1870s.

Area excavations conducted in 1983-5 in advance of housing construction over the W end of the early Bronze Age barrow cemetery at Barrow Hills, close to the Abingdon causewayed enclosure, yielded evidence for ceremonial and funerary use of the complex from the earlier Neolithic to at least the middle Bronze Age.
