"KIMBLE PARVA is, as its name expresses, a small parish, situated at about the distance of one mile North of Great Kimble; by which it is bounded on the West, as it is on the North, by Stoke-Mandeville, and on the East by Wendover, and the South by Ellesborough. The surface of the country is greatly diversified, and the inequalities of hill and dale remarkably abrupt. At this extreme point commences, the Chiltern Hills, characterized by the peculiar formation which marks the chalky and flinty stratum, and entirely different from the ordinary strata of the County. The view, extending along the brow of that immense range of eminences, completely varies the surface of the whole district, by a picturesque variety of uncommon beauty and interest, stretching to the high hills of Oxfordshire and Berkshire, and forming a barrier between the clayey and alluvious soil of the Vale of Aylesbury, and the chalk and flint of its southern boundary."
