The History :


We do not know from which direction the English colonists came when they arrived in the area of the Chiltern hills to create their settlements but St Dunstan's is a well-established site by the Icknield Way, and the parish is clearly identifiable with landmarks mentioned in a charter dated 903 A.D, the earliest certified boundary in the Kingdom. By 1346 the village was known as Monks Risborough - not because of the presence of a monastery, as the name would initially suggest, but because even earlier than 903, it had belonged to the monks of Christ Church, Canterbury. The name “Risborough” is derived from the Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning ‘the scrub-covered hills'.
