All Quiet down Holly Lane Well, there's nothing like a good rant, and these absurd Quiet Lane bollards are always a good excuse. There's a much higher than normal number of them infesting the roads around here. It's not just that they're unsightly, it's that you know they've shut two and a half schools and a hospital to pay for them.... End of Rant. Holly Farm House in the background. You could be really noisy in a house like that, if only it wasn't a quiet lane....

Thatcham This building was erected in 1304 as the Chapel of St Thomas and was used for worship until about 1550. After a long period of neglect, it was occupied as the Winchcombe Charity School 1707-30 and as a Blue Coat School 1794-1914.
