Description
Stowe village stretched S from the church along a road called Hegway (B5).
In 1720 had 32 houses & 180 people, but had nearly disappeared by 1927 due to encroachment of park (B1).
Settlement moved to Dadford? (B2).
Only trace of village (in 1989) are tile fragments (B5).
NGR to park centre (B1).
The National Trust's survey for Stowe undertaken in 1989 makes reference to the village which seems to have included ancillary buildings of the great house. The village included a vicarage, a mill and there may have been fishponds on the site of the 11 acre lake (B8).
In 1712, the village contained only 31 houses and 80 inhabitants; consisting of a few detached farms, and other habitations, which have been since so completely and entirely merged in the gardens and demesnes of Stowe, the modern and magnificent seat of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, that it can not be, with any degree of precision, attempted to be separately described (B11).
