Summary

| Description |
English: The Green, Quainton This view is from the top of The Green in Quainton which slopes south, with the famous windmill and stone cross behind the camera, to Lower Street at the bottom. On the east side of the green - just left of centre in the photograph - is the George & Dragon inn, with tables outside. The green originally had a pond, stocks and animal pound, but these have long since gone. Quainton is one of Buckinghamshire's ancient villages. It has a Roman road as a parish boundary and was given its name following the Anglo-Saxon invasion of this part of the country around 613AD. The name of Quainton derives from two Old English words - 'cwen', meaning queen, and 'tun' meaning farm - that is an estate of one of the Anglo-Saxon regional queens. Quainton has a population of about 1,260, compared with 1880 in 1900, when half of the principal householders listed their occupations as farmer or farm labourer. |
