Religion |
|
| Holy Trinity, Bledlow | Holy Trinity, Bledlow, stands in a beautiful spring line village at the foot of the Chilterns. One of England’s 1,000 best churches and a Grade I listed building, this Romanesque church dates mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries, and is largely unaltered.
|
| St. Paul’s, Bledlow Ridge | |
| St. Mary and St. Nicholas in Saunderton | Originally, Saunderton had two manors and two churches. However, St Nicholas’ fell into decay and was demolished in 1452, while the remaining church, St Mary’s, dating back to 1227, became known as St Mary & St Nicholas. It is a Grade II* listed building, built on the site of a Roman villa. In 1886 the outer walls began to lean inwards, so most of the building was demolished and rebuilt using, wherever possible, the original materials. As a result much remains of the old structure and fittings. |
