Map of the UK

Whitchurch is a small rural village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, set amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes. The settlement retains a strong sense of history, with a number of older cottages and a parish church at its heart, and its streets and fields give a typical picture of a long-established English village rather than a modern estate.

Historically agricultural, the local economy is now a mix of farming, small businesses and people who commute to larger towns and London; community life centres on a village hall, occasional fetes and the village pub, all of which help sustain a tight-knit social fabric and a conservation-minded outlook on the built and natural environment.
