Saunderton
Saunderton is a village in the Misbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Bledlow-cum-Saunderton, about northwest of High Wycombe and about south of Princes Risborough. It is on the A4010 road, and is served by Saunderton railway station on the Chiltern Main Line.
==History==
The toponym "Saunderton" is derived from Old English, but its original meaning is not clear. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as ''Santesdune'', leading some scholars to believe that the village name derives from "saint's hill".
In the 18th century a workhouse was founded in Saunderton, which in the Victorian era became the main workhouse for the Union of High Wycombe. It became one of the most secure houses in the region and regular absconders from other workhouses were often moved here because of its remote location. Inmates were taken to the workhouse by a constable, but if they wanted to leave they had a long walk ahead of them.
Saunderton Estate is in the village. The building was constructed in 1959 and redeveloped in 1994 with the addition of two wings of two-storey offices.
