"LOCATION In the ancient division of the county, Waddesdon Parish was of great extent. The name is a combination of a person?s name and ? DUN? in old English, translating to Wotts Hill. The village is steeped in history, a large account is written in ?MAGNA BRITTANNIA? in 1806 concerning its famous connections. There is a church of Norman origins and the old Roman Military Road, Akeman Street used to pass through the place. A branch of the Aylesbury and Tring silk manufactory was established in the village in 1843 employing some 40 females at hand loom weaving but has long since gone. Of some renown is the magnificent Waddesdon Manor, the recently refurbished Rothschild Mansion. Baron Ferdinand De Rothschild bought the land in 1874, it is said he picked the site for his residence after hunting in the area.

The village has excellent pre schools with a junior and highly sought after secondary school.
