Everything about Horton Buckinghamshire totally explained
Horton is a
hamlet in the
parish of
Ivinghoe, in
Buckinghamshire,
England.
The name
Horton is a common one in England, meaning "dirty or muddy farm".
Although in the parish of Ivinghoe, the hamlet is nearer to
Cheddington with its shops and churches, so that's the main village 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, but 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 with
18th-century origins. It is probably on the site of the original manor or hall. Today it's the home of a charity fund-raiser, and former champion amateur jockey, who breeds horses on the adjoining farm.
Two
16th-century half-timbered cottages remain in the village. One, still known as
King's Head Cottage, was formerly an
inn. The other, which is older, is a renovated Tudor hall on the outskirts of the hamlet.
The tranquility of the hamlet is somewhat spoilt by its proximity to the
London to Birmingham railway line.
