Henton is a hamlet in Oxfordshire, about 3miles west of Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. Henton is in the civil parish of Chinnor, just off the Icknield Way, which has been a road since the Iron Age.
In 1869–72 the Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway was built past Henton. It ran within about 0.5miles of Henton but the nearest station it provided was about away at . The Great Western Railway took over the line in 1883 and built about 0.75miles from Henton in 1906.[1] British Railways withdrew passenger services and closed the halt in 1957.[2] The line remained open for freight as far as Chinnor cement works until 1989. In 1994 the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway Association reopened this section of line as a heritage railway. The association has not reinstated Wainhill Crossing Halt.
Henton has a hotel and restaurant, the Peacock.[3] It also has a bed and breakfast, Manor Farm Cottage.[4]
