Mr Roye England was the founder of Pendon Museum Trust Ltd, in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire (Berkshire until 1974). After the Second World War he lived in Dorset whilst planning to make a detailed model of the village of Lillington. A series of black and white photographs, often carefully annoted, recorded his observations during various expeditions in 1946 and 1947. His friend Michael French often accompanied him during his trips. Although a model village for Lillington was never completed, the Vale of the White Horse as it was during the 1920s-1930s was modelled, and remains in Pendon Museum.
Throughout the catalogue Mr England's own references to his photographs are noted alongside the photographer's name.
