In 1971–73, the M40 Archaeological research group excavating a site at Postcombe found three Saxon graves, one of which was of a child. A bronze buckle in one of the graves dated the burials to the 7th century.[1]
On the morning of 18 June 1643, Royalist cavalry based in Oxford attacked a Parliamentary garrison based in the village, setting fire to some of the houses.[2]
The village has a public house, England's Rose, that was formerly known as, The Feathers. There is also a filling station. The current Lord of the Manor is Nigel Ross Parsons.[3]
