Watlington is the smallest market town in England and has a population of around 3,000. Located in the Chiltern Hills between Oxford and Henley-on-Thames, it is about three miles from Junction 6 of the M40. Several of the town's buildings date from the 17th century, although their facades are often 18th or 19th. A fascinating white mark 270 feet tall and 36 feet wide lies above the town, carved into the chalk hill. When approaching the north-west of Watlington, the 12th century Church of St Leonard appears to have a spire. In 1764, a local squire felt that the Norman church, when viewed from his home, would look more impressive with the added "spire".
