The small Buckinghamshire parish of Chicheley sits within the unitary area of Milton Keynes, a few miles north-east of Newport Pagnell. It is largely rural, made up of farmland, estate woodland and a handful of houses, offering a quiet contrast to the nearby new town while remaining within easy reach of the M1 and the wider road and rail connections serving Milton Keynes.
The focal point is the impressive early 18th-century country house Chicheley Hall set in parkland; the hall and its estate shape much of the local landscape and economy and are a source of historic and architectural interest, with the building used for events and occasional public access. A tiny local community, estate activity and agriculture define social life, with many residents commuting into Milton Keynes for work and services.
