Banbury
James takes Alasdair back to the Croydon of the Cotswolds™ – Banbury! – for a deep-dive into the origins, variations and possible meanings of the town’s “famous” nursery rhyme. You know, the one with the rude horse and the lady with peculiarly positioned bells? Plus, James shares the tragic tale of a horse whose sat-nav led to a vicar’s downfall.
