After seeing many other Alphabetical series, we decided to do our own for our corner of the county of Buckinghamshire.
The caches all vary, some are bigger than others, but none are micros and all have room for swaps.
East Claydon is a village and is also a civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about two and a half miles south west of Winslow.
The village name 'Claydon' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and derives from the old English clægig + dun meaning 'clay hill'. The affix 'East' is used to differentiate the village from nearby Steeple Claydon and Middle Claydon, and from the hamlet of Botolph Claydon that lies within the parish of East Claydon.
The rural village of around 60 houses currently includes a primary school and a volunteer-run pub and also features a distinctive thatched tree known locally as 'The Mushroom Tree' with seating around the base. The village hall has a bell tower, the bell of which is known as 'the mushroom', in reference to its shape. This is also reflected in the name of the pub 'The Mushroom Club'.
The parish church dedicated to St Mary was demolished during the English Civil War by Cornelius Holland, one of King Charles's judges, but was rebuilt after the restoration. The current structure is largely of 18th century design, but comprises components from various centuries, the earliest of which is the 13th century.
