Description

Watlington è una città di mercato e una parrocchia civile a circa 7 miglia a sud di Thame nell'Oxfordshire, vicino al confine orientale della contea e a meno di 2 miglia dal confine con il Buckinghamshire. La parrocchia include i villaggi di Christmas Common, Greenfield e Howe Hill, tutti situati nelle Chiltern Hills. Il censimento del 2011 ha registrato la popolazione della parrocchia come 2.727.
L'area di Watlington è probabile che sia stata abitata precocemente, incoraggiata dalla prossimità dell'Icknield Way. Il toponimo significa "insediamento del popolo di Waecel" e indica occupazione fin dal VI secolo. Un atto del IX secolo di Æthelred di Mercia registra otto 'mansiones' o abitazioni principali a Watlington. Il Domesday Book del 1086 si riferiva alla città come Watelintone o Watelintune, e identificava l'area come una comunità agricola valutata £610. Documenti medievali indicano che il piano stradale moderno era esistente nel XIV secolo, poiché sono registrati Cochynes-lane e Brook Street.
