Approached from Stowe and Chackmore to the north a narrow cul-de-sac bears right towards Radclive Grange, Radclive Hall, St. John’s Church, Radclive Manor and the Nursery. 1 Radclive Conservation Area The rubblestone Radclive Grange dominates the junction and northern approach into the hamlet. Further down the road lies Radclive Hall, a former rectory with stucco façade, slate roof and flanking chimneys. The front of the property offers two squared gate piers built in rendered bricks with stone caps. St. John’s Church, the adjoining building, is built in rubblestone with a copper roof to the nave and old clay tiles on the chancel roof. It is a Grade I Listed Building and is bounded to the south by a rubblestone wall and to the west by hedgerows. The area from St. John’s Church to Radclive Grange provides the most attractive townscape views in Radclive. At the end of the cul-de-sac lies Radclive Manor, a Grade II* listed mansion house which was originally constructed in the sixteenth century and later enlarged and recased in rubblestone in 1621. Immediately south-west of the Manor House, adjacent to the Nursery glasshouses are a range of listed buildings comprising a granary, a dovecote, a former stable block and a range of barns. Skirting these buildings on the western side is the River Great Ouse. Beyond these buildings the river swings sharply eastward towards the Grade II listed and rubblestone Mill House. This building was originally an operational mill with accommodation for the miller but it has now been converted into a single dwelling house. Progressing further east along the river, past the weir, the river passes through a Grade II listed four arch brick bridge and beneath the road. December 2008 2.
