About
Cuddington |
|
Upper green |
Cuddington is an award-winning village in which approximately
545 people happily reside. It lies above the Nether Winchendon
Valley, with the River Thame at its base, and is surrounded by
the attractive landscape of the Vale of Aylesbury.
The heart of
the village is designated as a conservation area. |
|
The oldest building in Cuddington
is the Church of St Nicholas, situated near the centre of the
village. Church, records show the names of vicars stretching
back to the 11th century. The church building is open to
visitors during the day all the year round. The services are
listed in the porch. St Nicholas aims to be a strong Christian
family, meeting different needs through varied services and
Bible based teaching, and seeking to show something of the love
of Jesus to those around. Go to
’Places of
Worship’ for further information. |

The village is also notable for the many house and
boundary walls that are made of wychert. This material was made
out of local clay mixed with chopped straw and stones and the
walls were built on a foundation of rocks called a ‘grumpling’. This type of building material is
unique to Cuddington and three adjacent villages in
Buckinghamshire. |

The Fete and Rooftops |
The annual fete attracts
thousands of visitors each year to the village and is recognised
as being amongst the very best in the county.
Cuddington
has a thriving and vibrant community. A school, pub/restaurant, churches, village
shop/post office, hairdresser and village hall are all well
