Lavendon is a small, rural civil parish in the unitary authority of Milton Keynes, within historic Buckinghamshire, lying to the north‑east of the town’s urban area and not far from the market town of Olney. The village sits amid agricultural land and retains a compact core of older houses and lanes, giving it a distinctly rural character despite its administrative link to the newer city.
Historically the settlement has long farming roots and a number of historic buildings and farmsteads hint at its medieval past; today the local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life centres on village amenities and occasional local events, and there is a clear local interest in conserving the parish’s landscape and historic character.
