Haddenham Duck Pond

St Mary the Virgin’s Church. The parish of Haddenham is mostly bounded by water, the river Thame and its tributaries, and this pond beside the church is a suitable reminder of one of the old local industries – Aylesbury duck breeding. The large church is essentially 13th century when it was rebuilt, including its tower – now with a peal of eight bells cast in 1809.
