 THE area around the church and river in Remenham will have been buzzing with visitors following the Rewind festival at the weekend.
However, the scene in my picture is usually peaceful and quiet — and well worth a visit.
It shows the lych-gate at St Nicholas’ Church which has a very fine woodcarving in memory of a local dignitary’s daughter who lived a particularly short life.
She was Violet Constance Noble, the youngest daughter of John and Anne Noble of the Park Place Estate, who was just 14 when she died suddenly from scarlet fever in 1884.
The estate still exists but back then was even larger, extending to around 900 acres.
