Drayton, Vale of White Horse
Drayton is a village and civil parish 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes.
The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter was built in the Norman style about 1200.[1] The Perpendicular Gothic bell tower was added later.[1] The chancel was rebuilt in 1872 and the Gothic Revival architect Edwin Dolby restored the church and added the south porch in 1879.[1]
Drayton has been twinned with Lesparre-Médoc, a commune in the French department of Gironde since 2000.[2]
