A ONE-HOUSE PARISH.
Barely forty miles from London, in the heart of Buckinghamshire, is a parish which has remained unchanged in all essentials since Domesday Book was compiled. Consisting of an early fourteenth century manor house and two persons only—the tenant and his wife— it is one of the smallest parishes, in England. The house was once the home of the Kniphts Hospitallers, but all that now remains to tell of them is the ruined church, where may still be seen stone carving of the twelfth century. Not since about midway through the sixteenth century has the church had a rector. In the house - are a I'anlted crypt and much carved oak Vaekened by time.
