I lived in Quainton in the 1950s, on the corner of The Green and Lower St. My family had the drapers shop.

I spent many days in Whitchurch, where my first love of my life lived, Sandra Tickner. I would love to get in touch with her again, and see how our lives have been, without each other. Many great times were had in the village. I also remember Gillian Bond and Audrey Radwell, they were school friends of mine.

Aylesbury Photographic Memories
The Black Boy is on the left, with the Victorian school, now a house, beyond the car. The ugly lean-to on the cottage has been replaced by a conservatory, and the railings by a rubble stone wall. The church, like Quainton's, was substantially rebuilt, this time in the 1860s, a not uncommon result of medieval use of the local highly friable limestone.

Aylesbury Photographic Memories
Moving north-east of Waddesdon, the last two villages on this tour, Oving and Whitchurch, are on the Quainton- Whitchurch Hills, a ridge of Portland limestone that gives fine views over the Vale of Aylesbury to the south and towards Buckingham to the north. Oving is a most attractive village. Here we see Magpie Cottage, a fine 17th-century timber- framed thatched cottage with whitewashed infill... [more]
