Today it is indistinguishable from the extended village of Burnham and is no longer marked on Ordnance Survey 1:50000 maps as a separate settlement.

The village name 'Hitcham' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Hycga's homestead'.

[2] The civil parish of Hitcham was abolished on 1 April 1934 under a County Review Order, with the urban part going to Burnham parish, a larger but less populous part going to Taplow, and a tiny sliver going to Dorney.

[3] The road Hitcham Lane still exists, and features Hitcham House, a large Manor House, now subdivided into several private residential properties.
