Henton is in the civil parish of Chinnor, just off the Icknield Way, which has been a road since the Iron Age. RailwayIn 1869–72 the Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway was built past Henton. It ran within about {{convert|0.5|mi|m}} of Henton but the nearest station it provided was about {{convert|1.5|mi}} away at {{rws|Chinnor}}. The Great Western Railway took over the line in 1883 and built {{rws|Wainhill Crossing Halt}} about {{convert|0.75|mi|1}} 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. AmenitiesHenton has a hotel and restaurant, the Peacock.[3] It also has a bed and breakfast, Manor Farm Cottage.[4] GalleryNotes1. ^Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway: History 2. ^Oppitz, 2000, page 22 3. ^The Peacock {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301194339/http://www.peacock.uk.com/ |date=1 March 2009 }} 4. ^Manor Farm Cottage Sources
