"I always get lost in Haddenham". How often one hears this remark made by visitors to whom its clusters of houses, linked by winding lanes, its passages bounded by high roofed walls, and its High Street leading to a dead end, present a haphazard and confusing appearance. This statement appeared in the guide to Haddenham in 1961 and 1981 and is still largely true today. The Village, now with over 5000 residents, still retains a village atmosphere. Thanks to its history as the home of the Aylesbury Duck, it still has four ponds and the largest in front of the Church and village Green is still home to some of these white birds. It is also well known as one of only three villages with witchert walls, houses and barns. Witchert is the local name for earth walling. The village web site provides a wealth of information for residents, visitors and businesses, and aims to bring together all parts of the community.
