These houses are part of Nether Winchendon. They are a lot higher up than the rest of the village.

This appears to be a windswept spot.

St. Nicholas's.

St. Nicholas's is a grade I listed building, 13th century, rebuilt or added to in 14th and 15th centuries, There are a some interesting features in the churchyard wall. Large ammonites are built in to the wall, one, possibly two, under the greenery to the left, and a larger one just to the left of the gate. This one has the centre carved into some sort of snake or lizard, apparently sometimes done in decorative work to represent early belief in the origin of ammonites.

The church is Grade I Listed, dating originally from the 13th Century but mostly rebuilt in the 14th. The post box is a Grade II Listed structure and is described on the English Heritage website thus:- "Stone pier, 1920s, by Philip Tilden. Rubblestone with concrete.
