Creslow

Creslow (occasionally also known as Christlow) is an extinct village in Buckinghamshire, England. It was located close to Whitchurch, about six and a half miles from Aylesbury.

The village name was Anglo Saxon in origin, meaning 'cress hill'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Cærsehlaw.

The parish church of the village was completely demolished during the English Civil War, and was never replaced. In the Victorian period there was just one house left in the village, the manor belonging to Lord Clifford. This has also since disappeared.
