Luffield Abbey
Luffield Abbey is a
village in the very north of
Buckinghamshire,
England. It is located on the border with
Northamptonshire, close to
Biddlesden. It is one of the few examples in the country where there is an ancient
parish with no church at its centre, though since the
Victorian period it has been considered part of both
Stowe in Buckinghamshire (although the two aren't neighbours} and Silverstone in Northamptonshire.
Little information remains of the ancient abbey from which the village takes its name though the name 'Luffield' is Anglo Saxon and means 'Lufa's field'. There was no trace of the ancient abbey in a land survey conducted in 1732.
