DRAYTON PARSLOW

'Drayton Parslow' is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the north east of the Aylesbury Vale, about five miles east of Winslow.
The village name 'Drayton' is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'farm where sledges are used'. It is a common place name in England, and refers to places that were perched on the hillside, thus requiring the use of a sledge rather than a cart to pull heavy loads. The suffix 'Parslow' derives from 'Passelaw', the ancient manorial family of the parish, commonly added to differentiate from another village in the county Drayton Beauchamp.
