Chinnor is a large village situated on the Icknield Way and the Chiltern escarpment, in South Oxfordshire, approximately four miles south of the market town of Thame. Dating back to Saxon times, the village has a mix of old and new buildings. Chinnor played a small part in the English Civil War and a number of Civil War-era buildings still survive, including 'Chairmakers' (formerly the Chairmakers' Arms) in the High Street, although this was re-fronted in the 18th Century. At the west side of the village is a post mill that dates from 1789 which is currently being restored by the Chinnor Windmill Restoration Society. Next to the Windmill near Mill Lane School there is an old Barn that was used by the Canadians as an Aircraft Hangar in World War II. Chinnor is at one end of the Chinnor & Princes Risborough heritage railway line. The 3.5 mile line runs along the foot of the Chiltern Hills. The Railway is open every Sunday from late March until late October. Pubs and places to eat in Chinnor include the Red Lion, the Kings Head and the Mayflower II. Chinnor has three churches: St Andrew's Church, Chinnor Methodist Church, and Chinnor Congregational Church.
