Excerpt from The Chiltern Hundreds The intention of this little book is to add, though ever so slightly, to the efforts which are made for the better appreciation of the archaeological and historical interests of our Island. Perchance its publication may induce some of the crowd who throughout the summer float idly down the reaches of the Thames, or moor their house-boats at its margin, occasional ally to leave the banks of the river and not to leave unvisited some of the most beautiful and interesting parts of the County of Buckingham. Residents also may perhaps not take it amiss that they should have the stories connected with their homes retold to them.
