Marsh Gibbon is a small, historic village in Buckinghamshire close to the county border with Oxfordshire, within easy reach of Aylesbury and Oxford. Its name reflects a marshy setting together with the medieval family who once held the manor, and the settlement retains a strong sense of its long rural past.
The village has an attractive green, clusters of traditional cottages and an ancient parish church, set amid farmland and small woods. The local economy still has agricultural roots but many residents commute to nearby towns; community life revolves around the village hall, the pub and occasional local events, while conservation of historic buildings keeps a distinctly village character.
