Renovation at Bledlow Homes
Pictures from a few years ago, Image( see for info) and Image show this lovely old range of buildings in a sad and derelict condition.
This view of the southern aspect shows that work seems to have started on doing the place up at last.

Bledlow Homes
This large U-shaped building, at the east end of Church End, is known as Bledlow Homes, but was formerly the parish workhouse, built around 1800 to house 180 inmates. It later became the Wycombe Union School for Boys and Girls. The 1881 Census lists about 56 resident children aged between 5 and 15 under the tutelage of the Master, George Roberts, with his sister Rebecca who was the Matron. The Ordnance Survey map of 1922 still shows the building as Wycombe Union School.
The building, which is listed but abandoned, appears to be currently owned by Buckinghamshire County Council (for theirs is the small white notice on the left warning persons not to trespass because of the dangerous state of the structure).
(Apologies for the road sign in the middle of this photograph - I could not get a view of the whole building and the whole courtyard from any other angle!)

Bledlow: Church End modern houses
This small housing development, in Church End opposite the Manor House and immediately above The Lyde Garden, was designed by the architectural practice of Aldington Craig + Collinge http://www.aldingtoncraigandcollinge.co.uk/ in the 1970s. It won an award from the Royal Institution of British Architects. The award committee was impressed with the quality and detail of the design and the simplicity of the materials, and also were of the opinion that a pleasant sense of scale and enclosure had been created and that the interesting silhouette did not jar with the traditional types of houses nearby.

Carving on the Compost Heap
This in a corner of The Lyde Garden, a beautiful water garden set round a group of springs in a hollow at the source of the River Lyde.
Damp and decay have taken their toll on this wooden carving, which has rotted away at the base and been unceremoniously thrown on the tip.
Lying like this it looks like a sort of creepy grasshopper thing, but I think it originally was upright as a sort of tree sculpture.
