PETSOE, a hamlet in the parish of OKENEY, hundred
of NEWPORT, county of BUCKINGHAM, 2 miles
(S. B. by S.) from Olney. The population is returned
with Emberton, to the church of which parish the inhabitants
resort. This was formerly a parish, but the
church, dedicated to St. James, having been demolished,
the living, a discharged rectory, was annexed to that of
Okeney. Petsoe still maintains its own poor, excepting
those of Petsoe-End, who are supported by the parishioners
of Emberton.
