La Chouette Restaurnt, Westlington, Dinton Nearly 12 years since I took <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/247504">SP7610 : La Chouette, Dinton</a> and I'm pleased to report that La Chouette Belgian Restaurant is still going strong. It is situated on the green in Westlington, a hamlet which is joined to the larger village of Dinton. They are both remarkably pretty villages with a host of thatched cottages.

SS Peter & Paul Church, Dinton The church of SS Peter & Paul in Dinton dates originally from the C13th, although the south porch is even older by maybe a century. It has been enlarged on several occasions in the following centuries, most noticeably the C15th and inevitably the C19th.
It is one of the select group of churches in the area to house an "Aylesbury Font" (see below) although unfortunately I have never managed to visit when it is open, so have not yet photographed it (nor indeed seen it).
See  view of its southern façade here <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5766605">SP7611 : Dinton - SS Peter & Paul - Southern façade</a>
