Regional marketing manager Caroline Haswell said: “For every new Churchill development we try to choose a name with a strong connection to the local community.
“We’re delighted to announce that our new collection of apartments in Abingdon will be called Albert Lodge, a name which we felt would link well with the town’s longstanding connection to Prince Albert.”

“We hope Albert Lodge will be a place where local people can also do just that, and enjoy their retirement years to the full.”
