Ellesborough

[4] This denotes its importance to the nearby settlements known today as The Kimbles and collectively they comprise a typical Chiltern strip parish with Ellesborough containing valuable hill pasture.

[5] The road from Wendover to Princes Risborough, which makes a very clearly defined detour around the hill on which Ellesborough Church stands, follows the route of the Icknield Way, an ancient trackway used in the neolithic age (3000 to 1800 BC) which ran from Norfolk to Avebury in Wiltshire.

[7] Prime Ministers have often attended this church for Sunday morning worship when in residence at Chequers.

Tony Blair, however, followed his wife and children to their Roman Catholic church in Great Missenden.

[8] Margaret Thatcher was famously known to have prayed at Ellesborough church during the Falklands War.
