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 theAylesbury 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 Friar’s Square Centre in Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Oxford.
The village itself offers a great convenience store with a post office, a popular coffee shop, hairdressers salon, beauticians, a Doctor’s Surgery, dentist, vet, charity shop, pubs, the Five Arrows Hotel and Chinese takeaway/fish and chips. There are also tennis and bowls clubs. The Greenway is a hardstanding countryside walk that currently runs from Waddesdon to Aylesbury ending up at Aylesbury Vale Parkway train station.
