Thanks to Moira Kendall for this great picture. Haddenham is a large village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 5 miles (8 km) south-west of Aylesbury and 2 miles (3 km) north-east of Thame.
The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means Haeda's Homestead or, perhaps, the home of the Hadding tribe. There is an intriguing possibility that the first villagers were members of the Hadding tribe from Haddenham in Cambridgeshire. It is known that the first Anglo-Saxons to settle in the Vale of Aylesbury were followers of Cuthwulf, from Cottenham in Cambridgeshire, who marched south-west to the Thames after routing the British at the Battle of Bedford in 571. It was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hedreham, but by 1142 had taken on its more modern form and was called Hedenham.
