Chinnor
Chinnor is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire about southeast of Thame. The village is a spring line settlement on the Icknield Way below the Chiltern escarpment. Since 1932 the civil parish has included the village of Emmington.〔 The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 5,924.
Chinnor is primarily a dormitory village for Thame, High Wycombe, Aylesbury and London. Formerly it had a large cement works, and before that a number of furniture-making artisans.
==Pre-history==
The Icknield Way is a pre-Roman road. The site of an Iron Age settlement from perhaps the 4th century BC has been excavated on the Chiltern ridge in the southern part of the parish. Traces of Romano-British occupation have been found both on the same high ground and below on Icknield Way.〔
A twin barrow on Icknield Way has been found to contain the weapons of a Saxon warrior that have been dated to the 6th century. Chinnor's toponym may originally have meant the ''ora'' ("slope") of a man called ''Ceona''.〔 In subsequent centuries it was variously spelt ''Chennore'' and then ''Chynor''.
