This view at the top of the High Street looks across to the Church of St John the Baptist, Pinner. The battlemented west tower dates from the 15th century, while the body of the church dates from 1321 when it was consecrated by Bishop Petrus of Corbaria. The plan though goes back to the 13th century. The church was restored in 1880. The obelisk on the far side of the churchyard was erected by John Claudius Loudon in 1843 to his parents. It consists of an arch cut in on each side at the foot, and higher up two ends of a fake coffin sticking out at the front and back.
