More about this scene
The busy A428 Northampton to Bedford Road winds through the village from west to east, curving round the parish churchyard's rubblestone retaining walls. This is the furthest north part of Buckinghamshire, beyond the stone-built market town of Olney, and not far from the Northamptonshire border. West of the village, in the quiet valley of a stream, was a small abbey founded in 1154, and long-vanished. Lavendon's parish church was old even then, for its nave, part of the chancel and the west tower below the belfry are all late Anglo-Saxon, probably early 11th century.
