LOCATION
In the ancient division of the county, Waddesdon Parish was of great extent. The name is a combination of a person’s name and ‘ DUN’ in old English, translating to Wotts Hill. The village is steeped in history, a large account is written in ‘MAGNA BRITTANNIA’ in 1806 concerning its famous connections. There is a church of Norman origins and the old Roman Military Road, Akeman Street used to pass through the place. A branch of the Aylesbury and Tring silk manufactory was established in the village in 1843 employing some 40 females at hand loom weaving but has long since gone.


Of some renown is the magnificent Waddesdon Manor, the recently refurbished Rothschild Mansion. Baron Ferdinand De Rothschild bought the land in 1874, it is said he picked the site for his residence after hunting in the area.
The village has excellent pre schools with a junior and highly sought after secondary school.

The nearby market towns and villages provide a wealth of historical and interesting places to visit including the local Waddesdon Manor, Claydon House and Quainton Steam Railway. Extensive shopping facilities are situated at Bicester Village Retail Outlet, the refurbished Friar’s Square Centre in Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Oxford. The village itself offers a general store, a Post Office, a Doctor’s Surgery, Pubs, the Five Arrows Hotel, a cafe and an Indian Restaurant.

Aylesbury is about 5miles with railway station to London (Marylebone approx. 55 mins), or Haddenham/Thame Parkway about 8 miles. The market town of Thame is about 9 miles and Oxford is approx. 26 miles. The M40 motorway beyond gives access to London, Oxford, Birmingham, the M25 network, Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports.
