Hitcham, Buckinghamshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hitcham was a village in Buckinghamshire, England. Today it is indistinguishable from the extended village of Burnham and doesn't appear on modern maps. It is located to the west of that village, adjacent to the common on which Burnham Beeches stands.
The village name 'Hitcham' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Hycga's homestead'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Hucheham.
The civil parish of Hitcham was abolished in 1934 under a County Review Order, with the urban part going to Burnham parish, a larger but less populous part going to Taplow, and a tiny sliver going to Dorney.
