Stopped here for a couple of drinks last weekend and we had a really nice evening. Good selection of drinks, friendly service and really nice atmosphere. Mrs Bentley is on remand waiting to be tried for poisoning her husband John Bentley. Roger Sheringham, on no very definite evidence, believes her to be innocent even though he hasn't met any of the people involved in the case. He travels to Wychford with a friend who has a cousin living in the town to do some investigation himself in an attempt to clear Mrs Bentley's name. It's a bit of an odd, although enthralling read. The characters are inevitably from a certain level of society, although servants and shopworkers appear now and again to add a bit of colour and a dollop of plot.

For those seeking tranquillity, the Wychwood Wild Garden offers 12.5 acres of wild gardens, ponds and woodland, all beautifully cared for by the local community. In the mid-1930s he began reviewing novels, both mystery and non-mystery, for 'The Daily Telegraph' under the Francis Isles pseudonym, which he had first used for 'Malice Aforethought' in 1931. Ratcliffe, Derek, ed. (1977). A Nature Conservation Review. Vol.2. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. pp.51, 170, 302. ISBN 0521-21403-3. The plot is a little linear but is nevertheless filled with some interesting dialogue, the fascinating characters of Wychford, and the peeling of secrets from the main suspects. Wychwood Park is a neighbourhood enclave and private community in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. [1] It is located west of Bathurst Street on the north side of Davenport Road, within the larger area of Bracondale Hill. It is considered part of the overall Wychwood official neighbourhood as designated by the City of Toronto.

I have to laugh at the "modern day" commentary about this book. I will never be one of those who have gone so overboard with emotionalism as to deem things like the spanking scene and flippant comments about women as "dangerous." People seem to be looking for things to be offended by. For millennia, the ancient Wychwood Forest covered much of West Oxfordshire with its grasslands, heaths, marshes and woodlands, and shaped the identity of this area for thousands of years. Today, it survives only in fragments. Wychwood Brewery produces around 50,000 barrels (8,200,000 litres [2,200,000USgal]) of cask ale each year, and is the United Kingdom's largest brewer of organic ales. Wychwood filtered and bottled beers are exported all over the world by their export partners Sovereign Beverage Company, to countries including North America, Germany, Sweden, France, Australia, Russia, Japan, Israel and Singapore. In 1939 he gave up writing detective fiction for no apparent reason although it has been suggested that he came into a large inheritance at the time or that his alleged remark, 'When I find something that pays better than detective stories I shall write that' had some relevance. However, he produced nothing significant after he finished writing with 'Death in the House' (Berkeley) and 'As for the Woman' (Isles) in 1939. Have you noticed the word 'Wychwood' in a West Oxfordshire place name? Or perhaps you've spotted a centuries-old oak in the area? Though just fragments of the historic Wychwood Forest survive today, its cultural and ecological legacy lives on.

A walk of four miles taking in the villages of North Leigh and East End. Highlights include rolling farmland, small copses and woodland areas. You may also wish to visit the local North Leigh Roman Villa. This route has some stiles. But overall Roger Sheringham is a worthy addition to the golden age and should not be ignored. The mystery itself is fun and something of a romp: not too serious but not too silly. Shipton is the largest of the three nearby villages that feature Wychwood in their name (the other two are Ashton under Wychwood and Milton under Wychwood), named after the ancient Wychwood forest, the 500 acre remains of which are to the east.Historic England.
