Chinnor Congregational Church
There has been a place of worship here on Chinnor's High Street since 1805 and the 1885 Ordnance Survey map marks it as an "Independent Chapel". The Church has a lot of links in Google but this appears to be the very informative main site http://www.chinnor.org.uk/ It being Sunday evening around 6 a lot of members of the congregation were just arriving, while the gentleman in the yard to the right appeared to be having an unsuccessful fight with a tarpaulin.

Red Kite in a tree
This is the bird variety of Kite, and is perched in a tree on the Playing Field in the centre of Chinnor village. This one stubbornly refused to turn round, so I offer only a rear view, though it nicely shows the distinctive forked tail of the bird. Red Kites have become very common in the Chinnor area, and may be heard calling and seen circling at all times of the day.
