Ilmer is a village in Buckinghamshire at the foot of the Chiltern Hills about {{convert|3|mi|0}} northwest of Princes Risborough, near the boundary with Oxfordshire. It is in the civil parish of Longwick-cum-Ilmer.

Toponym

The village toponym is derived from the Old English for 'Ylla's boundary', referring to the ancient boundary with Oxfordshire.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} The Domesday Book of 1086 records the village as Imere.[1]

Parish church

The nave of the Church of England parish church of Saint Peter dates from the 12th century.[1] In the 14th century the chancel was rebuilt and a south transept was added to the nave.[1] In the 16th century the timber-framed and weatherboarded bellcote was added to the west end of the building. In 1662 the south transept was demolished.[1] The building was restored in 1859–60 under the direction of the Oxford Diocesan architect, G.E. Street.{{sfn|Pevsner|1960|p=175}}

The bellcote has three bells, all of them cast by bellfounders from Reading, Berkshire. The tenor was cast in about 1500, probably by William Hasylwood.[1] William Knight cast the second bell in 1568 and Henry Knight cast the treble in 1618.[1]

St Peter's is a Grade II* listed building.[2]

Economic history

In 1899–1905 the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway was built through the parish. In 1906 {{rws|Ilmer Halt}} was opened on the line to serve the village. British Railways closed the halt in 1963. The railway remains open as part of the Chiltern Main Line.
