Lillingstone Dayrell is a village and ancient parish in the Buckingham Hundred of Buckinghamshire. It is about three and a half miles north of Buckingham, eight miles west of Milton Keynes and five miles south of Towcester. The parish is split into two parts by the intervention of Lillingstone Lovell.
The village name 'Lillingstone' is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and means 'Lytel's boundary stone', referring to the proximity of both places to the border with Northamptonshire. In the Domesday Book of 1086 both settlements were recorded jointly as Lillingestan though already at that time there were two manors owned respectively by the Dayrell and Lovell families. The suffix 'Dayrell' (as 'Dayerell') was first recorded in the fourteenth century. The Dayrell family were Lords of the Manor from the fourteenth century until the 1880s.[2]
