There are five trees on the market place. They have been there since the 1970s, but have had limbs cut off, and generally pruned. In the first picture are shown from left to right: a beech, ash, and a sycamore(it is leaning).

The two trees on the second picture, are what appears to be another sycamore (although quite different from the first). In front of St Nicholas Church is a silver birch.

Here is a final picture of the two sycamores (maples?), looking towards the County Hall. The different species of tree are all woodland trees.

They soften the look of the Market Place, particularly the beech which looks the most healthy of the trees. Each tree has a woodern seat round the base.

Dark granite sets path much of the market place. It has become a feature of the town and the Town Crier said that it will be kept when the Market Place is redesigned. Similar sets are used elsewhere in Abingdon on the pavements down Abbey Close.
