Early Morning Walk in a Small English Village - Kingston Lisle

Kingston Lisle is a small village located in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. The village has a long and rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. The name “Kingston“ is derived from the Old English words “cyning“ (king) and “tun“ (settlement), while “Lisle“ is believed to have been added later as a reference to the de Lisle family, who held the manor during the Middle Ages. During the Norman Conquest, Kingston Lisle was granted to William FitzOsbern, who was a close confidant of William the Conqueror. The village was then passed down to various noble families, including the de Lisle family and the Seymours. In the 18th century, Kingston Lisle became part of the Faringdon estate, owned by the Pye family. The Pye family made significant improvements to the village, including the construction of a new manor house and the rebuilding of the village church. Today, Kingston Lisle remains a small, picturesque villa
