None

Old Thatch, a large black and white listed cottage is one of the longest thatched buildings in Bucks. Once a beer house and then the Rose and Crown Pub it became a private residence in the 20th century.
Its most renowned owner was Enid Blyton who lived at Old Thatch from 1929 for a number of years, The present garden of 2 acres, derelict until recently has been brought back to life by Jacky Hawthorne, garden designer and owner of Old Thatch. There are now beautiful palettes of colour, stunning ornamental grasses, many unusual plants and wonderful design features.
Teas and home-made cakes are available in the room claimed by Enid Blyton to be Dick Turpin's stable, containing secret treasure! Plants are also for sale.
