Nether Wichendon House
Nether Winchendon House, a grand manor house in Nether Winchendon, was a former priory under Notley Abbey in Long Crendon. It was purchased and largely remodelled by the Duke of Bedford in the sixteenth century. It is now open to the public and is noted for its magnificent interior. Nether Winchendon House also hosts weddings and has beautiful gardens. Nether Winchendon has been a frequent setting for television and film production, including two Midsomer Murders episodes (as different houses), Lady Pat's house in Forever Green and the BBC series Chef! starring Lenny Henry. Nether Winchendon Church was also used as the setting for a Christening scene in the second Bridget Jones's Diary film, but can only be seen on the deleted scenes section of the DVD.

Famous quotes containing the words nether and/or house:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
