Human settlement in England
Whaddon is a village and also a civil parish in Buckinghamshire , England , within the Buckinghamshire Council unitary authority area . It is situated just outside of Bletchley , a constituent town of Milton Keynes .
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'hill where wheat is grown'. The village is referred to several times in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Hwætædun .
The village is at the centre of the ancient Whaddon Chase , the site for many centuries of royal hunting lands. Whaddon Chase is designated an area of 'Special Landscape Interest'.
The Church of St Mary is a grade I listed building .[2]
Whaddon Church of England School is a mixed Church of England primary school . It is a voluntary controlled school, which takes children from the age of four through to the age of eleven. The school has approximately 50 pupils.
Richard Cox (ca.1500 – 1581), an English clergyman, who was Dean of Westminster and Bishop of Ely , was born at Whaddon.[3]
Whaddon Hall , the village manor, was once home to the Selby family (also known as Selby-Lowndes), whose ancestor William Lowndes (1652–1724) built the larger and grander Winslow Hall . Both mansions are still private houses.[4] Second World War Whaddon Hall served as headquarters of Section VIII (Communications) of MI6 , as an outpost of Bletchley Park .[5]
