Before you arrive at Lewknor it is best book a taxi to pick you up at the Lewknor stop and take you onwards to Watlington. The same applies to London visitors to Watlington The Watlington area is likely to have been settled at an early date, encouraged by the proximity of the Icknield Way. The toponym means "settlement of Waecel's people" and indicates occupation from around the 6th century. A 9th-century charter by Æthelred of Mercia mentions eight 'manses' or major dwellings in Watlington.[2] The Domesday Book of 1086 identified the area as an agricultural community valued at £610.[citation needed] Medieval documents indicate that the modern street plan was in existence in the 14th century, if not earlier. Cochynes-lane (Couching Street), and Brook Street are recorded and the High Street must have had houses.[2]
