The oldest building in the parish of Marlow is most likely the early

12th-century Chapel and Crypt at Widmer Farm, which is an undercroft

consisting of a room about twenty feet square with columns supporting the chapel above.

The Chapel and garden at St Michaels School, Clayfield,Brisbane, Australia run by the Anglican Sisters

of the Sacred Advent looked very similar to Widmer's Chapel and was possibly modelled on it.

Home of Mary Oxlade's (1798-1871) son Henry Brigginshaw (1838-1917) at Datchet,Bucks
