Shabbington is a Buckinghamshire village, about 3 miles (5 km) west of Thame and 7 miles (10 km) WSW of Aylesbury. The village was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was called Sobintone (Anglo-Saxon for Scobba's Estate). Until very recently the village was known as Shobbington; it was only in the Victorian era that the name was changed to its current form. Its church of St Mary Magdalene dates from the eleventh century, its first recorded vicar being Thomas de Bensington (1220).
