Princes Risborough's population was around 8,500 at the 2021 census — a small Buckinghamshire market town at the foot of the Chilterns with a name that hints at royal history.
A prince's manor
The "Risborough" in the name is Old English, roughly meaning a hill covered in brushwood. The "Princes" is generally attributed to the manor having been held by Edward of Woodstock, the Black Prince, in the 14th century — distinguishing the town from neighbouring Monks Risborough, whose manor instead belonged to the church. The ancient Icknield Way runs close by, and Chequers, the Prime Minister's official country residence, sits just a few miles from the town.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Princes Risborough's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Princes Risborough shoppers order online anyway
