This is the north-east edge of the village of Steeple Claydon on the Buckingham Road that comes from Padbury 4km to the north-west. Steeple Claydon is one of four villages in north Buckinghamshire collectively known as The Claydons. The name comes from the Old English clægig + dun and means 'clayey hill', and much of Steeple Claydon lies on a hill which is over 100m. The village church, St Michael's, is near the top of the hill and its spire dominates the skyline, and hence 'Steeple' was used to distinguish the village from the other Claydons.
