Princes Risborough is a village in Buckinghamshire, England, about 9 miles south of Aylesbury and also 8 miles north west of High Wycombe. Bledlow lies to the west and also Monks Risborough to the eastern. It lies at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, at the north end of a gap or travel through the Chilterns, the south end of which is at West Wycombe. The A4010 road follows this path from West Wycombe through the town and after that on to Aylesbury. Historically it was both an estate as well as an ecclesiastical parish, of the exact same extent as the estate, which comprised the here and now ecclesiastical parish of Princes Risborough (excluding Ilmer) as well as also today ecclesiastical parish of Lacey Green, which ended up being a different church in the 19th century. It was long and also narrow (a "strip parish"), taking in land listed below the Chiltern scarp, the incline of the scarp itself and also land above the scarp prolonging into the Chiltern hills. The manor and also the parish extended from Longwick in the north via Alscot, the community of Princes Risborough, Loosley Row and also Lacey Green to Speen and also Walters Ash in the south. Because 1934 the civil parish of Princes Risborough (previously the same as the clerical church) has actually consisted of the community of Princes Risborough, the town of Monks Risborough (however not the provincial parts) and part of Horsenden but has actually left out Longwick. It is within the Wycombe area of Buckinghamshire and runs as a community council within Wycombe district. The town is overlooked by the Whiteleaf Cross, carved in the chalk of the hillside, though the cross itself remains in Monks Risborough.
