Wheatley geology visit July 2025
On a hot day in July, a large group from both OGT and the Wheatley Society were guided around Wheatley examining outcrops of limestone and its use as building stone.
OGT ran a stall at the recent Faringdon Heritage day (September 15th 2018) to highlight the unique fossils that are found in the area. A display case with specimens from the Faringdon Sponge Gravels was presented to the town council and received on their behalf by the Mayor’s Cadet.
