The parish contains a Grade II * listed church. ==History== According to ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', the Dunton name is Old English in origin, and means an estate linked to a man called 'Dodda' or 'Dudda'. In the 1086 ''Domesday Book'' Dunton it is recorded as "Dodintone."〔Mills, Anthony David (2003); ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', Oxford University Press, revised edition (2011), p. 166. ISBN 019960908X〕 In the 1870s, John Marius Wilson described Dunton as: "a parish in Winslow district, Bucks; near the source of the river Thame, 4 miles SE by S of Winslow town and r. station." Dunton's parish church is dedicated to St Martin. The church nave dates to the 12th century, the chancel to the 13th, and the tower to the 15th. Rebuilding and restoration took place in the 18th century. St Martin's was Grade II * listed by English Heritage in 1959. The church is the only public building in Dunton, and is a centre for parish social life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.schorneteam.co.uk/dunton/ )〕 Further parish Grade II listed buildings include The Old Rectory, an early 18th-century house; and Dunton Manor, a 16th-century house with later alterations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dunton, Buckinghamshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
