Burberry Homes in Church Street, Buckden, con-
sisting of fifteen self-contained one-bedroom flats
for singles or couples, usually over 60 years of
age and who live in Buckden or who have a close
active family relationship with residents of Buck-
den. There is a warden, but anyone who is ap-
pointed must be capable of looking after them-
selves. There is a modest weekly charge which is
considerably less than commercial rents. We now
have a vacancy in one flat. If you are interested,

ity, for more information and an application form:
