Late afternoon sunlight falling on the parish church of St Peter and St Paul in Checkendon, Oxfordshire. The church dates from the C12th and is a Grade 1 listed building. It was probably built by the Normans though aspects of the building styles suggests it might have Saxon origins. Inside there are medieval brasses and early C13th wall paintings. One relatively modern window was designed by Lawrence Whistler (1962). Checkendon village sits in the southern Chiltern Hills not far from the Thames.
