Family Gathering at Wendover 2011

On the 30^th July 2011 the family group gathered at the Shoulder of Mutton in the ancient market town of Wendover in Buckinghamshire. The main street in the town, Pound Street contains many cottages which would have been around at the time of our ancestors. After our visit to West Wycombe last year we moved on two generations to Moses, Timothy, Mary and Elizabeth, grandchildren of Moses.

Lunch was enjoyed by most, although one case of undercooked pastry was an unfortunate blot. We then made our way down to Heron Walk and had an extremely pleasant 15 min walk along the bank of the river to St. Mary’s church.

Knowledge of three Wooster graves here had the group searching diligently and as ever, one of our founder members was first to spot one. The second one was found, but the third one remains a mystery. Inside the church we enjoyed the sight of magnificent stained glass windows and also a recent refurbishment which is fully in keeping with the old church.

Next we walked along the country lane to see Well Head Farm, which was owned by Timothy. The farm has undergone many changes but Well Head Cottage, attached to the farm would appear to be relatively old.

With that we walked back along past the church and along Heron path to another watering hole, The Red Lion, where tea, beer and soft drinks were enjoyed by the group.
