Princes Risborough
Princes Risborough is a town in Buckinghamshire, England, about 9 miles south of Aylesbury and 8 miles north west of High Wycombe. Bledlow lies to the west and Monks Risborough to the east. It exists at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, at the north end of a space or go through the Chilterns, the south end of which goes to West Wycombe. The A4010 road follows this path from West Wycombe with the town and after that on to Aylesbury. Historically it was both an estate and also a clerical parish, of the same level as the estate, which made up the here and now ecclesiastical church of Princes Risborough (excluding Ilmer) and likewise the present ecclesiastical church of Lacey Green, which ended up being a different church in the 19th century. It was long and slim (a "strip parish"), taking in land below the Chiltern scarp, the slope of the scarp itself and also land above the scarp prolonging right into the Chiltern hills. The manor as well as the parish prolonged from Longwick in the north through Alscot, the town of Princes Risborough, Loosley Row as well as Lacey Green to Speen as well as Walters Ash in the south. Since 1934 the civil church of Princes Risborough (previously the same as the ecclesiastical parish) has actually consisted of the community of Princes Risborough, the village of Monks Risborough (but not the out-of-the-way parts) as well as part of Horsenden however has actually omitted Longwick. It is within the Wycombe district of Buckinghamshire and runs as a town council within Wycombe district. The community is neglected by the Whiteleaf Cross, sculpted in the chalk of the hillside, though the cross itself remains in Monks Risborough.
