It is in the Chiltern Hills near the border with Oxfordshire. It is about six miles WSW of High Wycombe. It lies in the civil parish of Hambleden. The village name of Fingest comes from the Anglo Saxon name Thinghurst, meaning 'wooded hill where assemblies are made'. In the 16th century the name is recorded as Thingest and then Fingest.[1] Although the early name is the etymological root of both 'Tinghurst' and 'Fingest', the latter doesn't follow the former by any normal linguistic line.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The ancient parish of Fingest included Cadmore End to the north of the village, which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1852.[2] The manor of Fingest anciently belonged to St Albans Abbey. In 1163 it was given to the bishop of Lincoln. The ghost of Henry Burghersh, 14th-century Bishop of Lincoln, is reputed to haunt the area.[3] After this time it was used as the country residence for the Lincoln diocese until 1547 when it was seized by the Crown. It was then given two years later to the Duke of Somerset who exchanged it with a property belonging to Wells Cathedral.[2] The manor is now privately owned. The civil parish of Fingest, originally based on the ecclesiastical parish, was enlarged in 1934 by adding land from the parishes of West Wycombe, Great Marlow and Hambleden. As a result, Lane End became the largest settlement in the parish, and the parish was renamed Fingest and Lane End in 1937.[4] In the 1980s the civil parish was abolished. The larger part became the parish of Lane End, and the village of Fingest was added to Hambleden parish. Scenes of the period drama The Monuments Men were shot in Fingest in May 2013, starring George Clooney, Matt Damon and Jean Dujardin.[5] ChurchThe parish church of St Bartholomew's dates from the early Norman period. It has an unusual tower, with a double vaulted roof. The church is a Grade I listed building.[6] References1. ^{{Citation | contribution = Fingest | year = 2010 | title = The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names | editor-last = Watts | editor-first = Victor | volume = | pages = | place = | publisher = Cambridge University Press | id = }} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42526 |title=Parishes: Fingest |editor=William Page |publisher=Institute of Historical Research |date=1925 |work=A History of the County of Buckingham: Volume 3 |accessdate=11 July 2011 }} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Green Man of Fingest - Mysterious Britain & Ireland |url=http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/england/buckinghamshire/hauntings/green-man-of-fingest.html |publisher=Mysterious Britain & Ireland |accessdate=29 August 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101212234121/http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/england/buckinghamshire/hauntings/green-man-of-fingest.html |archivedate=12 December 2010 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^Vision of Britain website {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628202628/http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10116247 |date=28 June 2011 }} 5. ^ Period Drama filmed in Fingest. 6. ^English Heritage: Images of England External links{{Commons category-inline|Fingest}}{{Oscoor gbx|477500_191100}}{{Wycombe}}{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2011}} 1 : Villages in Buckinghamshire |
