Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire

Whitchurch is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority area of Buckinghamshire, England.

[4] The west tower was added in the middle of the 14th century, with its eastern buttresses intruding into the north and south aisles.

[7] The church has also a Sanctus bell, which was cast in 1708 by one of the Chandler[7] family of bellfounders of Drayton Parslow.

[8] Sir Edward Smythe (1602–1682), a retired judge who bought the manor of Whitchurch in about 1669, is buried in the church.

[10][11] The Priory was altered in the 16th, 19th and 20th centuries, has brick nogging, was a hotel (and restaurant "La Boiserie") and is now a private house.

[13] Rex Whistler's painting The Vale of Aylesbury was created in Whitchurch, where a house is now named after him.

[16] As well as the Priory Hotel (see above) the village now has one public house: The White Swan, at the end of the high street nearest Aylesbury.

Its catchment area includes the parishes of Whitchurch, Hardwick, Oving, Pitchcott and Weedon.
