Lacemakers, East Claydon, Buckinghamshire

Local area

East Claydon lies within Aylesbury Vale in Buckinghamshire, two and a half miles south west of the historic market town of Winslow, eight miles from the larger market town of Buckingham and just ten miles from Milton Keynes with its huge range of shopping, sporting and cultural facilities.

This rural village of about sixty houses boasts a village pre-school which opens five mornings each week, and the delightful East Claydon Infant School of about thirty pupils. Secondary education is well provided for as East Claydon is in the catchment area for the highly regarded Royal Latin Grammar School. Excellent private schooling is also available locally with Swanbourne House, Akeley Wood and Stowe.

There is a popular farmers market down the road in Winslow once a month.

A volunteer run pub called The Mushroom Club, a village hall with a bell tower and a distinctive thatched tree known locally as the mushroom tree with seating around the base add to the charm of this well connected rural retreat.

St Marys parish Church has components from various centuries but following its destruction during the English civil war is now largely 18th century.

Milton Keynes has a regular fast mainline rail link to London (Euston 40 mins) as has Aylesbury which is 12 miles away (Marylebone 55mins).
