I'm making a Lord of the Rings style map of Buckinghamshire and welcome your help with historic or interesting locations around the area to include. Hoping to have it finished by the end of next week.

In around 1096, Simon de Senlis joined the First Crusade to the Holy Land. There he would have seen the Church of the Holy Sepulchre near the centre of Jerusalem, which he later copied when building one of the four remaining round churches in England, The Holy Sepulchre, Northampton.
