<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
What magic does this village possess?<br />
Considerable, if film settings are anything to go by.<br />
Films like “Goodnight, Mr. Tom,” “Went the Day Well,” and<br />
“Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang,” use this place as the village setting.<br />
Similarly, television dramas like Miss Marple, Jonathan Creek<br />
and Midsomer Murders have centred their characters in<br />
this archetypal English village.<br />
In the brilliant comedy, “Vicar of Dibley,” all village exterior shots were filmed here.<br />
It must epitomise all the essential qualities associated<br />
with an iconic English village, and it does!<br />
<br />
From the Cobstone Windmill above the village, the valleys, fields, woodland, meadows, hedgerows, streams and hills provide a succulent green tapestry of undeniable beauty in this chalkland haven in the Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire.<br />
The village is England in microcosm, the customary public house – the “Bull and Butcher,” the cosy, red-bricked and flint, rose-covered cottages, the ancient Parish Church of St.Mary-the-Virgin and surrounding graveyard, the footpaths, lanes, farms, and country estates embody a film-makers romantic vision of England, at its best.<br />
It is a proverbial gem!<br />
“There will always be an England while there’s a country lane……..”</p>
