This interesting village lies in the Vale of Aylesbury, it dates back to 1086 then known as Riseberg. Earl Harold held the manor he became the last Saxon King and was killed at the Battle of Hastings.

Edward 111 gave the manor to his son the Black Prince, adding the 'Princes' to the name.

By the church there is still a water filled section of a moat, and on the hillside beyond the church is the figure of a cross cut into the ground revealing the chalk beneath.

Near the Manor is the old vicarage, called Monks Straithe, it is a 16th century cottage. This cottage was once the home of Amy Johnson the aviator, and also to the authoress Denise Robbins.

In Church Street is the very attractive old library, it is a 16th century wealden house with black and white timbering. The new library is at the other end of the High Street.

The population of Princes Risborough now exeeds 9,000, and there are many new houses but several of the old thatched, timbered and brick and flint houses remain.
