Fawley, Buckinghamshire

Fawley is a village and civil parish in Wycombe district in the south-western corner of Buckinghamshire, England.

It is on the boundary between Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, about seven miles west of Great Marlow and north of Henley-on-Thames.

Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke, a prominent Member of Parliament in Cromwell's day, was from Fawley.

In 1642 he allowed soldiers fighting in the English Civil War to stay at the manor house in Fawley, known as Fawley Court but they were quite raucous in their behaviour and destroyed the contents of the house.

It has a Tree of Life stained glass window designed by the artist John Piper (who lived nearby in Fawley Bottom) and Patrick Reyntiens.
