About Radnage
The Village of Radnage is situated in the County of Buckinghamshire, close to the Oxfordshire border. The parish covers a little less than 4,000 acres, and is at a height of 600 to 650 feet above sea level. It is home to about 850 people.
It is a rather scattered village without a definite centre. There is a primary school, a Church and a Methodist Chapel. Two public houses, a British Legion chapter, and a riding school. Historical information on Radnage is sparse, there is no mention of the village in the Doomsday Book, and the first recorded reference to it was in a land settlement in 1197.
The Church however can be dated accurately, as the architectural style (early English), places the building in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. It was built by the Templars, and there is a cross of Lorraine carved on the stonework in the porch. There are also some old, interesting wall paintings dating back to the thirteenth century onwards. The Church was used some years ago in the filming of “A Month in the Country” .
