History


The village's name means "community farm/settlement". There is no known record of monastic settlement here.[3]

The parish church is dedicated to The Most Holy Trinity. A church has existed here since Saxon times the earliest recorded Rector being Sir Richard de Hynton in 1275.[4] There are monuments to Sir William Hinton (d.13th century), Raynold Braye (d.1582) and Salathiell Crewe (d.1686).[5]

The Old Rectory in the village is dated 1678[5] and there are a number of other building which are listed.[6]

The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described the parish in the 1870s as follows:

On the Buckinghamshire railway, 2 miles [3 km] West by North of Brackley railway station. Post town, Brackley. Acres, 2, 070 [838 ha]. Real property, £2, 462. Pop., 178. Houses, 39. The manor belongs to W. Cartwright, Esq. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Steane, in the diocese of Peterborough. Value, £500. Patron, Earl Spencer. The church is early English; consists of nave, chancel, and North aisle, with low square tower; and contains a remarkable ancient altar tomb, and a very ancient and curiously carved font. There are alms houses with about £38 a year, and a subscription school. Gray, the author of "Memoria Technica", is said to have been a native.
