Fishpond in Water Spinney is a medieval fishpond located approximately 600 metres south-east of St Giles's Church in Tattenhoe, Buckinghamshire. The pond represents a typical example of the managed aquaculture practised by medieval landowners and religious institutions, serving as both a food resource and a landscape feature. The site is situated within Water Spinney, a wooded area that has preserved the earthwork remains of this historic water management feature. As a scheduled ancient monument, the fishpond contributes to our understanding of medieval rural economy and the exploitation of water resources in the English countryside.
