Steeple Claydon is a large village and civil parish in north Buckinghamshire, England, traditionally the largest of the local Claydon settlements. The name reflects the local clay soils ("Claydon" from Old English for clay hill) and the prominent parish church steeple; the centre of the village still shows older stone and brick buildings set in a pleasant rural landscape.
Historically agricultural, the village now mixes small businesses, shops, a primary school and pubs with a significant number of commuters working in nearby towns. Residents enjoy an active community life with clubs, events and conservation of historic features, so Steeple Claydon combines a clear sense of local history with the practical ties of being within easy reach of Buckingham, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes.
