Wooburn
Wooburn is a village and parish in the hundred of Desborough; situated 3 miles s.w. from Beaconsfield, in a narrow valley, through the centre of which meanders a river, whose stream gives motion to several mills for making paper - here the staple manufacture. The parish church of St. Paul is a large, ancient edifice, with a handsome tower; it contains several monuments of the Bertie and Wharton families, and a curious font of antique carved wood. There are places of worship for Independents and Wesleyan Methodists, A market was granted to this town by Henry VI; this has long been discontinued; but fairs are held May 4th and November 12th, for horses, cows and sheep. The population of the parish is about 1,800.
Marlow (Little)
About one mile and a half E. N. E. from Great Marlow in the same hundred (Desborough) is Little Marlow, where formerly was established a convent of Benedictine nuns; but at the present day is a place possessing but few claims to notice. The parish church of St. John is principally in the later style of English architecture. Population of the parish in 1831, 783; in 1841, 927.
