Steeple Claydon is a sizeable village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, set in the Vale of Aylesbury. Its name reflects the local clay soils and the prominent church steeple; the settlement has medieval roots and still shows a mix of older stone and brick buildings, a historic parish church and reminders of a long agricultural past.
These days Steeple Claydon blends farming with a significant commuter population, with people travelling to nearby centres such as Buckingham and Aylesbury and beyond. Village life is centred on a primary school, village hall, sports clubs and a couple of pubs, and a steady programme of community events that sustain a strong local identity.
