The group are all situated on The Causeway in the village of Steventon. For the purposes of the Pendon model, Priory Cottages and Godfreys have been merged into one.
The most striking feature of Steventon is an ancient raised and paved causeway which traverses its length and which is bordered by a number of surviving medieval timber framed buildings. The route of the abandoned Wilts and Berks Canal passes through the parish. In June 1840 the Great Western railway opened Steventon Railway Station on their main London to Bristol line although this station is no longer open.
