Life size figures from the Christmas story can be found in several front gardens in Eynsham.

The trail was the idea of St Leonard's Church warden Claire Page, pictured with one of the Magi.

"I visited a scarecrow trail earlier this year which gave me the idea," said Mrs Page.

"The life size figures have mostly been made by the people who have them on display in their gardens.

"Our aim is to make people ask questions about what the real Christmas story is about.

"We want to encourage a true celebration of Christ's birth."

Maps and a list of clues and questions can be obtained for £1 from Evenlode DIY, in High Street.
