A famous boot has received its marching orders at Garsington.

The boot, a children's slide, was moved from the Plough pub to the Three Horse Shoes pub in the village in 1993. Now it has returned to its former home.

Villagers help lift the glass-fibre boot on to a low-loader lorry

Villagers turned out to help lift the glass-fibre boot on to a low-loader lorry for the short journey. Morrells, which owns the Three Horse Shoes, is re-developing the play area at the pub and has given the boot back to the Plough.

The Plough's landlord, Howard Kensley, said: "We are being given the boot, so to speak, but are delighted it has returned home."
