Encyclopedia > Horton, Buckinghamshire

Horton is a hamlet in the parish of Ivinghoe, in Buckinghamshire, England.


The hamlet name is a common one in England, and means 'dirty or muddy farm'. For other places in the world with the same name, see Horton.


Allthough in the parish of Ivinghoe, the hamlet is nearer to Cheddington and this is the main village with its churches and two shops to which most residents of Horton feel most attached.


The hamlet of Horton was held after the Norman Conquest by the de Brocas family. The hamlet is very small, however, a few new modern houses have been built over the last twenty years, most notably Brocas Way, and The Grange. The latter was built in the 1970s as a dower house for Horton Hall.


Horton Hall is a large moated farmhouse of 18th century origins. It is probably on the site of the original manor or hall. Today it is the home of a charity fund-raiser, and former champion amateur jockey, who breeds horses on the adjoining farm.


One 16th century half timbered cottage remains in the village. Known still today as The King's Head, it was formerly an inn.


The tranquillity of the hamlet is somewhat spoilt though by its very close proximity to the London to Birmingham railway line.
