Bidford on Avon (Scan from 1991)

The bridge and the Church of St Laurence at Bidford on Avon.

The story goes that William Shakespeare was once involved in a drinking match in Warwickshire. Roused from his stupor the following day, the Bard neatly rounded up his impression of the little villages close to his place of birth:

Piping Pebworth, Dancing Marston,
Haunted Hillboro, Hungry Grafton,
Dodging Exhall, Papist Wixford,
Beggarly Broom and Drunken Bidford.
