    A quintessential English village with a good little store to pick up a few supplies en route.

      November 17, 2020

      Saint Mary the Virgin's church dates from the 14th century and includes a conspicuous memorial to Cope D'Oyley (who died in 1633) and his family. The tower contains eight bells and the ceiling is quite intricately decorated in parts.

      The brick and flint cottages in the centre of the village conform to a similar design and have dormer windows topped with red tiles.

      The village has only one shop cum Post Office, other properties have facades that are more in keeping with a traditional country village. This makes it a popular location for films, such as "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", "Dance with a Stranger", the opening scenes of the remake of "The Avengers" starring Ralph Fiennes and also some scenes in "101 Dalmatians".
      The Tim Burton film "Sleepy Hollow", starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, included a month-long location shoot at Lime Tree Valley, in Hambleden and the church was also used in the "Agatha Christie's Poirot" episode "Sad Cypress".

      Interestingly, the village was also a filming location for many horror movies.
