Description	Hill Farm, Lewknor. In 1851 there were twelve working farms in the Lewknor area, only one of which is still in full operation. Hill Farm is bounded by the Ridgeway to the west and the M40 as it climbs through the Chiltern escarpment. For more information on the history of Lewknor see www.lewknor.org.uk.

Description	The Lambert Arms at Aston Rowant from Beacon Hill. The original road from the west to Stokenchurch cut a straight but steep line through the Chilterns. In 1824 the road was diverted to the west and now winds gently up through the escarpment, following the contours of the hill. The pub dates from 1834, replacing the Drum and Plough, which was on the old road. Mail coaches running between Oxford and London stopped here before taking the turnpike up through Aston Wood to the Kings Arms in Stokenchurch.

Description	In the haze beyond the Lambert Arms lie the village of Aston Rowant and the hamlets of Postcombe and Chalford. This has always been a predominantly agricultural area. The late nineteenth century censuses show the male population in these villages were almost exclusively farm labourers and many of their womenfolk were lace makers.

Description	Another early morning photograph taken from Beacon Hill, looking towards Watlington. Not visible in the picture but hidden in the murk are the cooling towers of Didcot Power Station. On a clear day, when the wind is from the south, the towers generate clouds of steam, which form a distinct line across the western horizon.
