Commemorative plaque 41894

This blue commemorative plaque records: My father was a great plant lover and when he came to stay he wanted to go to Godstow Nunnery. A rare plant, birthwort (Aristolochia Clematitis) had been used by the nuns and could still be found in the area. We spent a whole afternoon by the River at Godstow in the beautiful spring sunshine, searching the meadows for birthwort which we didn't find. I thought it was a real waste of time, but now I look back on that afternoon as a lovely day spent with my eccentric Dad. Recorded plaque organisation: The Local Historical Society.

The plaque commemorates a personal, familial visit to Godstow Nunnery focused on the search for the rare plant birthwort (Aristolochia clematitis), highlighting the historical and botanical significance of the area.
