An overview of Ludham from the tower of St Catherine's Church shows the well-wooded, rich agricultural land surrounding the village before many of the hedges had been removed.

Caption For Aylesbury, The Vale C1955

Caption For South Wigston, Grand Union Canal C1960

The shelter of the great hawthorn hedges, the silent rippling movement of the water and the stillness of the reeds and trees produces that so-elusive sound of silence, often longed for but rarely experienced
