The Rural Village of Harwick Nr. Aylesbury

Just a short stroll down memory lane.

The village of Hardwick holds fond memories for me as a child I use to come here to see a friend and today brought back memories that I had forgotten long ago but to walk around the village again after all theases years made me think of all the fun we use to have along with his two sisters when children played as children messing around in the burn jumping out of the hay loft on to the hay, I went to have a look at the burn were we use to play but it was no longer there, pulled down long ago but the church was still the same as ever with its hedge row going around it and the old stone slabs steps that leads down to the field.
The church is old just how old I really have no idear but I do know that it was about when the civil war was raging as the men who fell during the battle had been berried here as with all theses old churchs they have been about for so long that they must hold lots of secrets of the past and if only the could tell you what they have seen over the centuries of time.
A different view of the church showing how well the cemetary is kept looking so nice showing the residents take such care of there church yard.

As you take the footpath behind the church you walk past a farm just the other side of the wall from the church and the very proud ruster that struts about letting every one know that its the boss.
