Description
Horton is first mentioned in Domesday Book, with a later entry in a legal document in 1464 (B1).
In the north-west [of Ivinghoe parish], and lying partly in other parishes, is the hamlet of Horton. Horton Hall, Horton House and Horton Farm stand in the neighbourhood, where are also the remains of a moat. There is a Wesleyan chapel in the hamlet. An Inclosure Act for the lands of Horton hamlet, in the parishes of Slapton, Ivinghoe, Edlesborough and Pitstone was passed in 1810 (B2).
