WOOTTON-under-WOOD, a parish in the hundred
of ASHENDON, county of BUCKINGHAM, 7 miles (N. by
W.) from Thame, containing 344 inhabitants. The living
is a perpetual curacy, in the peculiar jurisdiction
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, endowed with £400
private benefaction, and £400 royal bounty, and in the
patronage of the Duke of Buckingham. The church,
dedicated to All Saints, was repaired a few years since,
when a stone spire was added to the tower; and in
the Grenville chapel, or south aisle, which was built
in 1343, a columbarium has been more recently constructed
by the Duke of Buckingham, for the interment
of his family.
