Winship - Engineer of Abingdon

An Exhibition in St Ethelwolds; September 2022

In 2022, the Heritage Open Days theme was "Astounding Inventions". It was a marvellous excuse to celebrate the career and works of George Winship, an unsung hero of the Victorian and Edwardian age, who brought Abingdon into the new age of sanitation and piped supply.

Abingdon is located south of Oxford close to the A34. Most of our events take place close to the town centre.

Abingdon Heritage Weekend is an event managed by Friends of Abingdon Civic Society, working closely with the Abingdon and Area Archeological and Historical Society, and is run by a committee of volunteers. We aim to hold a heritage event every year in September, and the scale and scope of the event varies depending on the year and the budget. If you would like to become an organising volunteer please register your details here and we will contact you in late September/early October so that you can join in the planning for the next heritage event in 2026.
