EspañolWALTON, MILTON KEYNES
'Walton' (historically) was a hamlet that is now a district and civil parish in Milton Keynes, England
The historic hamlet is located about four miles south of Central Milton Keynes and just east of Simpson, along Walton Road in the modern 'Walnut Tree' district (and not in the modern district that bears its name).
The village name is a common one in England, and is an Old English language word, meaning either 'village of the Britons' (''wale'' being a word meaning Briton) or 'walled village'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as ''Waletone''.
The manor house of the village, (Walton Hall) and its chapel of ease, now , are in the grounds of The Open University, in the Walton Hall district.
The modern Walton district is a light-industrial and residential district on the banks of the River Ouzel, a tributary of the Great Ouse and on the other side of Brickhill Street from the hamlet that gives it its name. It is largely the grounds of Walton Manor Farm. The other village farm, Walnut Tree Farm, still exists and the Walnut Tree district is on its lands.
The civil parish of Walton includes the districts of Browns Wood, Caldecotte, Old Farm Park, Tilbrook, Tower Gate, Walton, Walton Hall, Walton Park, Walnut Tree and Wavendon Gate.
