This is Winchmore Hill in England !!!

Posted in Europe, Food and Wine, France

This time took my road warrior skills to go again to jolly England with the Le Shuttle train service (see post), and my Ford ; towing along my good boys and wonderful Rex! It was a very nice trip going into the countryside and seeing several towns of wonderul architecture and history, This one was a pleasant surprise as it was our lodging site and easy on and off to all we were going to see, Beautiful countryside and quiet life at its best ; worth the detour, me think, Therefore, let me tell you about this is Winchmore Hill in England !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Winchmore Hill is a village in the parish of Penn, in Buckinghamshire, with the post town of Amersham (see posts) in England.nested between Amersham at 3 miles, and Beaconsfield at 4 miles, and 30 miles from London, It features a triangular village green, the local Winchmore Hill Memorial Hall, and a local cricket club,

Winchmore Hill stretches back to about the 12C with a small settlement supporting farms grouped round a Common and a pond.  In 1958 the pond was filled in but the Common survives, on the fringes of what was once Wycombe Heath, 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and a source of firewood and building materials. The hamlet straddled three separate parishes- Amersham, Penn and Coleshill By the 17C, a number of larger farms had been established down Fagnall Lane -Glory Farm, Fagnall and Lowlands.  There still exist about 8 houses in the village with probable 17C origins, including ‘The Plough’. The original division between three parishes was superseded in 1955 when the village voted to become part of Penn Parish , The surrounding residential properties predominantly date back to the 20C Opposite the Potters Arms bb pub, a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was opened in 1861, reflecting a strong Methodist tradition within the village. A Primitive Methodist Chapel was built on The Hill in 1860 and regular services continue to this day.

The Potters Arms B&B Pub is today a Nepalese pub with a British soul ; a place where two rich cultures meet over good food, good drink, and good company. pub is about more than food. It’s about community. A place where locals, friends, and families gather. The Potters Arms is a traditional English Village pub with a beautiful inglenook fire place. It is located overlooking the village green and has some fantastic walks on the edge of the Chiltern Hills , Very traditional olde worlde English pub with parquet flooring, large inglenook open fireplaces, leather sofas and original low ceiling beams

And this is what I chose to for lodging and drinks and home base in the area to see in my follow up posts, The experience was nice even if the old pub rooms needs a bit of a refurbishing ; its old,

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
