Hogshaw

Hogshaw is a civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England.

It comprises the two ancient villages of Hogshaw and Fulbrook, although they no longer have an individual identity.

The village name 'Hogshaw' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Hogg's brook' (where 'Hogg' is someone's personal name).

However, in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1547, the parish was seized by the Crown.

It was in 1720 that the church was officially depopulated for financial reasons, and the remaining villagers forced to worship at East Claydon.
