Long Crendon is a compact village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, close to the Oxfordshire border and roughly between Thame and Aylesbury. Its compact historic centre, narrow lanes and well-preserved timber-framed cottages give it a distinctly medieval feel, highlighted by a surviving medieval market hall and an attractive parish church.
Historically a small market and local brewing hub, the village retains a strong community life with pubs, a primary school and local clubs, while the surrounding countryside remains largely agricultural. Today it combines rural character with commuter links to Oxford and beyond, making it popular with people who want village life within reach of larger towns and England’s transport routes.
