Chiltern Micro -
Wendover (Bucks)
Wendover is a picturesque market town that sits at the foot of
the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England. The mainly arable
parish is 5,832 acres (24 km²) in size and boasts many hamlets that
nestle in amongst the lush forest on the surrounding hills.
The town name is of Brythonic origin and means "white waters",
pertaining to the stream that rises in the adjacent hills and flows
through the middle of the town, bringing chalk deposits on its way.
The parish church of St Mary sits outside the town to the east on
the hillside: a feature that is very common among towns with strong
Celtic origins.
The town has had a Royal charter to hold a weekly market since
1464 meaning that officially it is a town rather than a village,
although today many residents of Wendover like to refer to it as
the latter. It is part of a civil parish, and the parish uses the
term "Parish Council" rather than "Town Council", as it would be
entitled to.
Part of the town was once the property of Anne Boleyn whose
father held the manor of Aylesbury among his many estates. There is
still a row of houses in the town today, known as Anne Boleyn's
Cottages. The town is also the birthplace of Gordon Onslow Ford,
British surrealist artist, and it is believed to be the birthplace
of the medieval chronicler Roger of Wendover.
