Creslow

Creslow (occasionally also known as Christlow) is a village and civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England.

The church at Creslow, which dates from the 13th century,[2] was formerly owned by the Knights Hospitaller (the Order of St John of Jerusalem).

[2] Following the dissolution of the Monasteries it was held by the Crown, and the whole of the manor was used as pasture for the cattle of the Royal Household.

The ecclesiastical parish was abolished by Queen Elizabeth I[2] and the building itself was demolished during the English Civil War, by the regicide Cornelius Holland, and was never replaced.

[3] More recently Creslow was the site of a Foreign and Commonwealth Office/MI6 signals intelligence station, which was closed down in 1998[4] and, now in private hands, operates as a data processing facility and fibre optic hub under the name Creslow Park.
