C12 CHARTERS RE LAND IN OAKLEY GRANTED TO MISSENDEN ABBEY SURVIVE (B1).
AN HISTORICAL/ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE PARISH WAS CARRIED OUT IN 1987 (B2).
An article by Sarah Bendall examines three maps from the 1590s, which relate to the dispute over the rectories Brill, Boarstall and Oakley (Brill) Church which had been left in trust by Sir John Williams for the foundation of a free school at Thame. Lord Williams' title to the land was challenged in the Court of Chancery. The maps were drawn to establish that the glebe and tithes arising in Brill, Oakley and Boarstall were due to the parish of Brill, and lists 17 particular places or parcels of land (B5).
Documentary references to parish (B3,B6-9).
