A Roman villa a short distance north of the present village was the subject of an episode of the archaeological television programme Time Team, broadcast in 1995.

The school was reopened for wartime reasons from December 1940 to the autumn of 1946; subsequently the building became a private house.

[13] The church was lightly restored in 1876, when the 13th-century east window was replaced and the bell-turret with shingled spire was added, standing on older posts.

[15] Julian Orbach, updating Nikolaus Pevsner's work, writes: "Charming rustic interior with the timber-framed W end".

In 1978 Jocelyn Toynbee identified it as a Genius loci statue, a pre-Christian Roman religious item, assumed to be from the nearby villa complex.

[22] Down the lane leading west to Tockenham Court farm is Manor House farmhouse, 18th-century with 15th-century core.

[27] During the Civil War, when it was the residence of Sir William Button (1584–1655), this house was twice looted by Parliamentary troops.

[28] A GWR 2900 Class steam locomotive named Tockenham Court was built in 1913 and continued in service until 1952.

[29] At Tockenham Wick, 1 mile (2 km) north of the village on the lane to Grittenham, the Manor House is Grade II* listed.

The two-storey porch is dated 1698, and a large single-storey brick-built library was added to the right of the main block c.1750.

[30][14] The adjoining dovecote, with stables below, were built in limestone and sandstone rubble in the 17th century;[31] Brakspear inserted mullioned windows in 1925.
