War Memorial, Eversholt In the churchyard of St.John the Baptist, Eversholt is this quite unusual war memorial topped by an angel (St. Michael perhaps) rather than the more usual cross.

Water End Barns They don't look much like barns to me - but that's what the sign says ! I presume that this was an old mill of some kind. It has now been converted into living accommodation. I wonder if the chimney still works, you could have a roaring fire with the updraft that'd produce !

Rads End Farm This mellow bricked farm is on a right/left kink in the lane through Higher & Lower Rads End. I think the wooden top to the roof is a dovecote, and it looks as though two of its residents are flying above it.
