Simpson, Milton Keynes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simpson is a village and civil parish in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It was one of the former villages of Buckinghamshire that was included in the New City in the 1960s, and is located south of the centre, just north of Fenny Stratford, near Walton.

The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'Sigewine's farm'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Siwinestone. The village is where the family name of Simpson is said to originate.

In the mid 19th century the village was described[1] as "in appearance, one of the most wretched of many miserable villages in the county". This was due to the author's approach to the village being blocked in the winter time by a ford 200 feet wide, and three feet deep. This ford was fixed in the 1860s when the road was raised by three and a half feet by the Warren family, lords of the manor.
