It was in this grade 1 listed XVIth century cottage, described by Thomas Ellwood as "that pretty box in St. Giles, Chalfont", that Milton completed Paradise Lost, and the idea of Paradise Regained was put to him.

What a quaint building you've found here, Ray. I love the way the mound of flowers to the right sets off this building and adds to the old-fashioned look.

I only wish that our history was as important to us as it is to the English. Now do a picture of Lamb House. This is lovely.
