I also remember going to Quarrendon County Secondary School from Oving. Most of the children from Oving and the surrounding villages went there. As I understand it now the school has been renamed.

My memories of Oving are wonderful to me. My parents Jock & Maggie McLintock owned the Butchers Arms from about 1961 to 1966 or 1967, I may be wrong but sometime around then.

Hi there, I just started doing my family tree, found out that my grandfather was born in Quainton, lived at North End. My great-grandfather was killed by a horse in 1905 working on a local lord's land. I am trying to find out which estate he worked on. 1911 census finds great-grandmother Louisa living in North End and working as a servant. Great-grandfather was buried in the churchyard at Quainton.
In 1861 my great grandad Josiah Smith and his wife Elizabeth was butcher/publican at the Butchers Arms. I would like to hear if anyone has anymore information about this. Taken from the census 1861. Amelia Wesgrove was a visitor aged 13 years and Charles Seaton was the groom.
Thanks
