Grubbins Plantation

With a footpath crossing a dry valley to the north of Sedges Farm.

The back wall of Thames Water's Peterley sewage pumping station has been visited by graffiti artists.

A humble pumping station out in the woods, but dating from a time when even utility buildings had a bit of attention paid to their design. This little pump house is out of the same stable as many a cinema or train station of the time. Even the railings look more garden gate than sewage works.

At a junction of two footpaths in an open location. The notice on the ground is about environmental stewardship and keeping to the path. Not fixed to the post well enough.

The road between the hedges goes to a farm and then turns into a track off into the woods.

This information board is by the recreation ground in Windsor Lane HP16 0DZ and has the heading "Little Missenden and its footpaths. The map in the middle shows the area that the parish of Little Missenden covers including Holmer Green, Hyde Heath, Little Kingshill and Little Missenden. The wording on the left of the map is as follows: The Parish Church of St John the Baptist Over a thousand years old, Little Missenden Parish Church is famous for its wall paintings dating from the 13th century. The church itself dates from Saxon times (950-1050AD) and was originally built with Roman bricks. However it has been enlarged many times over the centuries. There is also an early map of the Parish on the wall of Lady Chapel. The River Misbourne The river flow is somewhat erratic, occasionally drying up completely. Excellent views over the valley may be seen from the South Bucks Way between Little Missenden and Little Kingshill. There were once watercress beds near Suffolk Bridge and water mills at Deep Mill and Little Missenden. Of the 13th century Deep Mill only the mill pond remains. The mill itself finally disappeared about the time the railway was built (early 1890s). Little Missenden water mill is first mentioned in 1352, the present building is mainly 17th century and ceased using water in about 1920. Latterly, it was augmented by a steam engine, its chimney still survives and is now a private house. The wording on the right of the map is as follows: Since prehistoric times In about the 12th century there was a Motte and Bailey castle in Hyde Heath, although all that can now be seen are the remains of the earthworks a few feet high, visible from Church Lane. It once probably had a tower on top of the motte. There is a leaflet available showing all the parish footpaths.
