Bierton is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, about half a mile northeast of the town of Aylesbury.

[3] The village name was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bortone and means "farmstead near a stronghold" in modern English.

The development of Bierton as a village was hampered by its being a linear settlement along the last road leading from Aylesbury to have its toll gate removed.

The village remained an important point on this alternative northward route however, due to the presence of a wagon pond.

Bierton was a Royalist stronghold, opposed to its larger Parliamentarian neighbour of Aylesbury, and the Red Lion was host to many Cavalier Officers, and rumours have it to Charles I himself.

A Baptist congregation was formed in Bierton and they met for worship at the chapel, originally called the school house, which was constructed in 1831 and enlarged in 1885.

Sitting on large sub-strata of Bierton Complex blue clay, the resource was mined for several centuries, and the bricks were fired close to the quarry.

Notable inhabitants of Bierton include architect Deborah Saunt of Channel 4 television's series Grand Designs, playwright Robert Farquhar, BBC fashion commentator Jerry O'Sullivan, and the author and poet May Sinclair, who lived at The Gables in Burcott Lane for the last ten years of her life.
