Longworth

Longworth is a village and civil parish about 7 miles (11 km) west of Abingdon-on-Thames and a similar distance east of Faringdon and south of Witney. It is located in the historic county of Berkshire, however, since 1974 for administration purposes the village is located in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire. Forthcoming boundary changes will add the hamlet of Newbridge to the parish of Longworth.

Famous quotes containing the word longworth:

    You can’t make a souffle rise twice.
    —Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884–1980)

    ... [Washington] is always an entertaining spectacle. Look at it now. The present President has the name of Roosevelt, marked facial resemblance to Wilson, and no perceptible aversion, to say the least, to many of the policies of Bryan. The New Deal, which at times seems more like a pack of cards thrown helter skelter, some face up, some face down, and then snatched in a free-for-all by the players, than it does like a regular deal, is going on before our interested, if puzzled eyes.
    —Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884–1980)
