Upper Winchendon is small village, about 1.5 miles south of Waddesdon and 4.5 miles west of Aylesbury. You can drive through the village and not know the church is there:set on a hill with spectacular views, it has no electricity, heating or lighting but is a very good example of a country church in its ancient form. Construction of the nave of St Mary Magdalene started around 1100. A little later (around 1150), the more ornate round-headed Norman south doorway was probably added, with jamb shafts enriched with twisted and lozenge ornament surmounted by scalloped capitals.
