The Kimbles are a group of Englishvillages to the south of Aylesbury in the county of Buckinghamshire, that sit at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. The three villages are called Great Kimble, Little Kimble and Kimble Wick.
Their name comes from Cymbeline (also known as Cunobelinus) who was once King of the Catuvellauni, an ancient Celtic tribe of pre-RomanBritain. Written about by William Shakespeare in his tragedy of the same name, Cymbeline was able to successfully stave off the planned Roman invasion of Britain led by Emperor Caligula by supporting the fiercely anti-Roman Druids and offering refuge to exiled fighters from Romanised Gaul.
It is believed that earthworks found on the nearby Beacon Hill that separates the Kimbles from Chequers were the foundations of a hillfort built during the reign of Cymbeline; coins bearing his name have been found in archaeological digs in the area.
The three villages are respectively named for "The Greater village of Cymbeline", "The Lesser village of Cymbeline", and "Cymbeline's farm".

Inside the medieval All Saints' Church in Little Kimble are many original wall paintings depicting scenes from the Bible and from English history.
Kimble was a naïve college girl who fell in love with Ken Kimble, the then chaplain and choir director of her Baptist school.
Kimble was a 39 year old heiress recuperating emotionally from a mastectomy and battle with breast cancer.
Kimble, we truly begin to understand what an opportunist and elitist Ken Kimble is and his remarkable ability not to consider the consequences of his past as his responsibility.
