The County Hall Museum is usually closed on Monday but was open today because it was a Bank Holiday, giving visitors a place to look around out of the wind. As well as the permanent exhibition, there was the Abingdon Alphabet exhibition.

Nineteen quilters from the three local quilting groups (Abbey, Fitzharrys and Barn Cafe) have produced an A-Z of Abingdon Quilt.

Q X Y Z are the more difficult letters in any A-Z. Q is for Quilt.

X for the Market Place X of paths

Y for Yoke. The museum has a permanent yolk.
Z for Zebra Crossing featuring characters from the Abingdon underpass mural

There were also individual quilts in the exhibition.

What would you have done for your X Y Z of Abingdon?
