Quainton is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, 7 miles north-west of Aylesbury. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 Census was 1,292. The village has two churches , a school and one public house. The location means that while many commute to London, others are employed in neighbouring towns and villages.
Its name is Old English and means Queen's Estate . It is not known to which queen this refers, but possibly the Queen was Edith, the wife of Edward the Confessor. Known as "Fair Edith" she held manors in this part of Buckinghamshire, including a hunting lodge at Mentmore. Edward the Confessor had a palace at nearby Brill.
