Ickford to niewielka miejscowość (725 mieszkańców) w Buckinghamshire. Wieś nosi nazwę brytyjską, a powstała ponad 2000 lat temu, zanim jeszcze przybyli tu Rzymianie, mimo, że pierwsza wzmianka pochodzi z 1086. Prawdopodobnie wieś wygląda bardzo podobnie do tej średniowiecznej, a na pewno nie zmienił się wygląd okolicznych pól. I aż do lat '30tych XX wieku zajmowano sie tu rolnictwem, dopiero fabryki wybudowane w pobliskim Oxford spowodowały pewien exodus. Wodę i elektryczność dociągnięto tu w 1934. Dziś jest to osada raczej dla bogatych osób, przed bielonymi domkami z XVII wieku stoją najnowsze modele Mercedesa, a ludzie pracują głównie w mieście. Jednak jest to cicha i niezwykle przyjemna wioska, taka typowo angielska...
Ickford is a small village (725 inhabitants) in Buckinghamshire District. It's a British name and the settlement was settled here more than 2000 years ago, before the Romans came to the Islands. Even if the first notice about Ickford was from 1086. Probably the village was very similar to the present one, and the fields were looking the same for sure. And till the '30s of XX c. nothing really changed and people's occupation was agriculture. Then the factories were built in Oxford and the exodus started. Water mines and electricity were brought here in 1934. Today Ickford is a place rather for the richer people, who usually work in the towns and cities. But it's a quiet and very nice village, typical English...

A lot of houses are a few hundred years old. They are beautifully restored with rustical but modern interior.

Old Post Office


The last real pub The Rising Sun. After many years it burnt down in 2006, but now it looks perfect and the delicious food is still being served, along with a few types of ale.

Dollhouse? :)

A street in Thane direction.


St. Nicolas church was built somewhere between 1170 and 1190. It wasn't rebuilt because the poverty here, so it looks originally. In 1902-11 the church was renovated.
