This interesting village lies
at the heart of the glorious Chiltern Hills and
has become a pilgrim centre for lovers of the late
children’s author Roald Dahl who lived at ‘Gipsy
House’ until his death in 1990. He is buried at St
Peter & St Pauls Church where his grave is often
awash with flowers left by his young fans. His
memory is also kept alive at the Roald Dahl Museum
and Story Centre. Curiously, the village was home
for a short time to another famous writer, Robert
Louis Stevenson. Nearby is Little Missenden and
the remains of British and Roman settlements. |
