Pishill

Pishill

Pishill (pronEng|ˈpɪʃəl) is a hamlet in Oxfordshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about eight miles north of Henley-on-Thames in the Stonor valley.

The village name of Pishill comes from the Latin name for pea, pisum. This was due to the great many pea farms that once existed in the area. It contains a 15th century pub and an 11th century church perched on a hill overlooking the Stonor valley.
