Dist:0.4km<br/>In the absence of leaves (other than the ivy covering it) I am assuming that this is an oak from its shape. If I remember to, I'll check later in the year !

Dist:0.4km<br/>The only reason I'm posting this rather boring shot is that according to the 1940s map there used to be an inn on this spot. It seems to have vanished without trace - perhaps it was a 1940s "Easter Egg". The building behind the hedge is either Gwenfa Farm (according to the map) or Gwenfa Fields (according to a local sign) - or perhaps they're both lurking there. A bit of research (from a map of c.1890) shows that there was a pub (or presumably an inn) nearby at SP90730491 called The Red Lion. [Edit May 08] I have been informed that 100 yards to the left of this sign is "Red Lion House" which was the former pub.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Lee - usually referred to as 'The Lee' - is an attractive village in the Chiltern Hills, about 2 miles north east of Great Missenden and 3 miles south east of Wendover. The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, meaning 'woodland clearing'. The village church of St John the Baptist is unusual in that it consists of two buildings: the ancient chapel of ease built in the 12th century, which includes a window depicting Oliver Cromwell and John Hampden as 'champions of liberty', and the more modern Victorian red brick church built in 1867. The Lee is associated with Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., who in 1900 built a Manor house on the outskirts of the Village. Liberty was closely associated with Art Nouveau and his company became synonymous with the style. Liberty is buried in the village church, his gravestone designed by Archibald Knox, one of Liberty & Co.'s long-standing designers. There is also a monument to him and his wife, Dame Emma Louise, in the graveyard.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This pub was always, let's say "idiosyncratically" run. Sadly it's currently not open. Maybe one day Lee Common will have a pub again.
