Drayton Parslow is a small village in rural Buckinghamshire, England, set among rolling farmland a short drive from Milton Keynes and Bletchley. The settlement retains a compact historic core of stone and brick cottages and a church with medieval roots, giving it a distinctly village character within an otherwise agricultural landscape.
Historically the extra name element reflects the medieval manorial family who once held the manor, and agriculture has long shaped local life; today the community blends farming with commuters travelling to nearby towns and London. There is a strong local identity, modest community facilities and regular village activities that mark it out as a quiet but lively rural community rather than a dormitory suburb.
