Boundary Walk on a wet New Year’s Day

Boundary Walk
It was a wet start to the year. Despite the weather a good number of citizens gathered at the Market Place to take part in walking the 1556 Borough Boundary following instructions given in the 1556 Borough Charter.

Watch on youtube as the walk leader, Penny Clover, reads parts of the aforesaid instructions, and the Town Crier congratulates those who finished the two hour walk. He also shows everybody one of the few remaining boundary stones that separate Abingdon from ‘foreign parts’ , and ends by crying ‘‘God save Abingdon on Thames! God save the Queen!‘
