Local heroes are being celebrated nationally with steel effigies and benches next to the National Cycle Network. The project is in recognition of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee year and had funding from the Department for Transport.
The heroes chosen in Abingdon are Mieneke Cox, the St Helen’s Church archivist and Abingdon museum curator who left a legacy of books about Abingdon.
The second effigy represents a local volunteer/community group member – one of many who give their time to improve Abingdon’s environment.
A great combination – recognising both Abingdon’s history and the volunteers who do so much to make it a good place to live.
