Chetwode (/ˈtʃɛtwʊd/)[2] is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Buckingham in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire.

The parish is bounded to the southwest and southeast by a brook called The Birne, which here also forms part of the county boundary with Oxfordshire.

The name Chetwode is first attested in a charter of 949 (preserved in a seventeenth-century copy) as Cetwuda, and then in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ceteode.

The Domesday Book records that in 1086 Robert de Thain held the manor from Odo, Bishop of Bayeux.

[7] In 1899 the Great Central Railway opened its main line to London through the southwestern part of the parish.
