Biography
Pendon Museum is a museum in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire, England, that displays scale models, in particular a large scene representing parts of the Vale of White Horse in the 1920s and 1930s. The scene, under construction since the 1950s and with parts dating back earlier, was inspired by detailed research into the architecture and landscape of the vale, with some models of cottages taking hundreds of hours to complete. The late Roye England, an anglophile Australian who lived in England, founded it, and ran it jointly with the late English model maker Guy Williams, who made fifty-seven of the museum's ninety locomotives.
