The village name 'Weston'Read more
is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'western estate' or western homestead, as 'tun' means an enclosed farm in Angle. In the Domesday Book of 1086, the village is recorded as Westone. The suffix 'Turville' was added later, referring to the lords of the manor in the 13th century, and to differentiate the village from other places called Weston. Between 1236 and 1539, Weston Turville grew to have five areas, or ends – Church End, Brook End, South End, West End and World's End. These five ends still exist, as documented by Hamish Eaton's book "Weston Turville – A History", published in 1997.
The 13th-century church of St. Mary the Virgin is the parish church for Weston Turville and is a grade I listed building. A church has existed on the land at the end of Church Walk since the 12th century; however, all that remains of the original church is the font and an octagonal shaft built into the south wall of the chancel.
