More on Chinnor
Human presence in the Chinnor area goes back to the Iron Age, around the 4th century BC. The Romans have also left evidence of their occupation in the area. This was followed by remains from the Saxon era and later periods.
The village of Chinnor probably has existed during the reign of Edward the Confessor, when it was a manor belonging to Lewin, a Saxon royal servent. The Domesday Book of 1086 attributed the ownership of Chinnor to Lewin before the Normans took it for the Norman de Vernon family. The village passed through several families down the centuries.
