The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Ewelme

At the west end of the village on slightly higher ground is the large and attractive parish church of St. Mary the Virgin. The tower of St. Mary's is 14th century although the remainder of the church dates from the 15th century. Restoration and alteration since then has been comparatively minor. In the churchyard is the grave of Jerome K. Jerome, the author of 'Three Men in a Boat', who lived in Ewelme in the 1880s.

The old water cress beds at Ewelme

The Ewelme Brook was at one time used extensively for the cultivation of water cress. However during the last quarter of the 1900s, regulations prevented the sale of watercress from Ewelme and this, together with greater competition from other areas and countries, led to the industry's demise and production ceased in 1988. The Ewelme water cress beds are now owned and managed by the Chiltern Society as a local nature reserve.
