'''Addingrove''' is a former [[hamlet (place)|hamlet]] in Buckinghamshire, about {{convert|4|mi}} northwest of the [[market town]] of [[Thame]] in neighbouring [[Oxfordshire]]. The settlement is on the [[B4011 road]] between [[Oakley, Buckinghamshire|Oakley]] and [[Long Crendon]].<br />
<br />
The largely [[Deserted medieval village|depopulated former settlement]] now consists of only Addingrove Farm and a cottage. It is in the [[civil parish]] of [[Oakley, Buckinghamshire|Oakley]].<br />
<br />
==Toponym==<br />
The [[Toponymy|toponym]] Addingrove is derived from the [[Old English]] for "Æddi's wood".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mawer |first1=A. |author-link1=Allen Mawer |last2=Stenton |first2=F. M. |author-link2=Frank Stenton |year=1925 |title=The Place-Names of Buckinghamshire |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DcbUAAAAMAAJ&q=%22with+the+same+use+of%22+%22addingrove%22 |location=Cambridge |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=127 |isbn=9780521074995 |access-date=19 February 2021 }}</ref> From the 11th to the 15th centuries it evolved through the forms ''Eddingrave'', ''Adegrave'' and ''Adingrave'' before reaching its present form.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}}<br />
<br />
==Manor==<br />
The [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 records that Ulward, a man of [[Edith of Wessex|Queen Edith]], the [[manorialism|manor]] of ''Eddingrave'' in the reign of [[Edward the Confessor]], but that after the [[Norman conquest of England]] it was granted to [[Walter Giffard]] and assessed at three and a half [[Hide (unit)|hides]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Addingrove remained part of the [[Honour (feudal land tenure)|Honour]] until 1256, when Giffard's descendant Joan Marshal became married to [[William de Valence, 1st Earl of Pembroke]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} After the death of [[Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke]] in 1324, Addingrove passed to William's granddaughter [[Elizabeth de Comyn]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} It then passed by Elizabeth's second marriage to [[Richard Talbot, 2nd Baron Talbot]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Talbot also held the manor of Pollicott in [[Ashendon]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} When Gilbert Talbot, 5th Baron Talbot died in 1419 he left the manors of Pollicott and Addingrove to his widow Beatrice,{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} who was baroness in her own right until her death in 1421. The two manors were again recorded together in 1432 and 1446, but no subsequent records are known.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}}<br />
<br />
Walter Giffard's [[mesne lord]] was Hugh de Bolebec, whose heirs were the [[Earl of Oxford#Earls of Oxford (1141)|Earls of Oxford]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} The mesne lordshire of Addingrove followed that of [[Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire|Whitchurch]] until 1635.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}}<br />
<br />
By 1173 the sub-tenants of the Earls of Oxford were a family called Morel.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} In 1257 John Morel granted parts of Oakley and Addingrove to John FitzNeil, who then bought the remainder of the manorial tenure from Morel's heirs.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Thereafter the tenancy of Addingrove was linked with that of [[Boarstall]] until 1563.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} From 1554 the farm was let to John Croke of [[Chilton, Buckinghamshire|Chilton]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Croke left the tenancy to his son, also John Dormer, who in 1607 was renting the farm from [[John Dormer (of Dorton)|Sir John Dormer]] of [[Dorton House, Buckinghamshire|Dorton]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Dormer left Addingrove to his son Sir Robert Dormer, who is said to have passed it to a family called Mitchell.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} In the 18th century Addingrove passed from Richard Mitchell to [[Sir John Aubrey, 6th Baronet]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Aubrey held the manor of Boarstall, so thereafter Addingrove was once again linked with that manor.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}}<br />
<br />
After Addingrove was deserted, its land was divided amongst the villages of Oakley, [[Brill, Buckinghamshire|Brill]] and [[Chilton, Buckinghamshire|Chilton]].{{citation needed|date=January 2012}}<br />
<br />
==Chapel==<br />
In about 1142 the [[Empress Maud]] granted Oakley church and its dependent [[Chapel of ease|chapelries]] of Brill, [[Boarstall]] and Addingrove, to the [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] [[Priory of St Frideswide, Oxford]].{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Addingrove chapel still existed in 1318.{{sfn|Page|1927|pp=80–85}} Late in the 18th century Addingrove was still a hamlet in the parish of Oakley, but its chapel had been ''"suffered to fall to ruin"''.{{sfn|Lysons|Lysons|1806|p=not cited}}<br />
<br />
==Hamlet==<br />
The possible site of the [[deserted medieval village]] and former chapel of Addingrove may be about {{convert|0.25|mi|m}} north of Addingrove Farm.<ref name=BCC-dmv>{{cite web |url= https://ubp.buckscc.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid='MBC5832' |title= BCC record ID: 0196600000|work=Unlocking Buckinghamshire's Past |publisher=[[Buckinghamshire County Council]] |access-date=24 January 2012}}</ref> The only remaining building on the site is a derelict barn,<ref name=BCC-dmv/> but [[Ordnance Survey]] maps of 1878 and 1885 show this as the site of the original Addingrove Farm.<ref name=BCC-dmv/> Slight hollows suggest where a house may have stood, a slight baulk suggests the route of a former track, and [[ridge and furrow]] to the west, south and southeast suggest where the limits of the former settlement may have been.<ref name=BCC-dmv/><br />
<br />
About {{convert|0.25|mi|m}} east of Addingrove Farm the B4011 road between Oakley and Long Crendon crosses a stream, next to which on the east side of the road is a rectilinear medieval ditch that the stream used to feed.<ref name=BCC-ditch>{{cite web |url= https://ubp.buckscc.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid='MBC4602' |title= BCC record ID: 0155500000|work=Unlocking Buckinghamshire's Past |publisher=[[Buckinghamshire County Council]] |access-date=24 January 2012}}</ref> The ditch was about {{convert|23|ft|0}} wide and may have been a [[moat]], but there is no trace of a [[manor house]] having stood within the rectangle.<ref name=BCC-ditch/> It may therefore have been a fishpond.<ref name=BCC-ditch/><br />
