Taeppa's Mound / Taplow Barrow
This seventh century burial mound stands in the grounds of Taplow Court. It is 15 feet high, 80 feet in diameter and 240 feet in circumference.
It would later be surpassed by Sutton Hoo, but when the Taplow site was excavated in 1883 it was the richest Saxon burial in the country.
Interred beneath the mound was a single individual - interpreted by archaeologists as a local chieftain - buried with grave goods including a sword, three spears, two shields, drinking horns and glass beakers.
These are now displayed in the British Museum.

Turret and chimneys, Taplow Court
There had been earlier grand houses on this hilltop, but this one dates from 1855. In the Buckinghamshire volume of 'The Buildings of England', Pevsner describes it as 'Big, Early Tudor'. Big it certainly is, but it puzzles me that Pevsner seems not to have noticed the building's French flavour. The turret seen here is one rather French feature, but there are others: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3816827
Taplow Court was built right next to an old churchyard, and may even have encroached upon it - notice the tomb within a few feet of a window.
