I grew up in the village of Radnage, in the Chiltern Hills and whilst in lockdown, I have returned to this village. I am going on daily walks, and this is opening my eyes to the treasures which lie in this small village, which as a child I took for granted. I am enjoying re-seeing Radnage from the eyes of an architect with a keen interest in historic buildings, and below I share with you some of the treasures I see on my walks.
