Welcome to Water Stratford

Water Stratford is a small village located in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Great Ouse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and there are several archaeological sites in the area that have been excavated over the years.

One of the most notable landmarks in Water Stratford is the St Giles Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and intricate stonework. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Water Stratford is also home to several small businesses, including a pub and a farm shop. The pub, called The White Horse, is a traditional English pub that serves a range of local beers and ciders. The farm shop, called The Old Dairy Farm, sells a range of locally sourced produce, including meat, cheese, and vegetables. Both businesses are popular with locals and visitors alike and are an important part of the village community.
