At the top is the Bell Tower, and the church spires are seen near it.

From the railway embankment, or the higher ground beyond, the best picture which the town affords is to be seen.

Below us winds the river, and over the meadows on an eminence is the cluster of houses forming the town; as a background we have Bredon Hill, delicately outlined, or dark blue as if overhanging the vale.
Beyond the bridge we soon come to a picturesquely-situated farmhouse, standing on a steep bank, and looking down upon the meadows.

This is the Parks Farm, and all the fields on this side bordering the river were once the deer park of the great Abbey.

Presently we reach Offenham Ferry, while a little beyond, set back behind willow trees and plough-land, is the village; and we soon catch sight of the old church tower peering over the bank.
