The village stands near the boundary with Bedford, and near Icknield-street, 3 miles E by N of Cheddington-Junction r. station and 5½ SSE of Leighton-Buzzard. ...
The parish contains also the hamlets of Dagnall, Horton, Hudnall, and Northall; and its post town is Ivinghoe, under Tring. Acres, 4, 579. Real property, exclusive of Horton, £7, 070. Pop., 1, 671. Houses, 369. The property is divided among a few. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Oxford. Valne, £569.* Patron, Earl Brownlow. The church occupies a fine site; contains some old stalls, and two curious brasses; and had a wooden spire, destroyed by lightning in 1828.
