Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Ravenstone is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes and ceremonial Buckinghamshire, England. It is located two and a half miles west of Olney, four miles north of Newport Pagnell (and of the northern boundary of Milton Keynes itself).

The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'Hrafn's farm'.

In 1255 a priory of Augustinian canons was founded in Ravenstone by King Henry III. Later, in 1525 it was taken over by Cardinal Wolsey but seized by the Crown in 1544 along with the rest of Wolsey's possessions. After changing hands privately a number of occasions the building was eventually demolished, and today nothing remains.

The parish church in Ravenstone is dedicated to All Saints.

The only communal facility in the village is a village hall. A post office and pub closed in the early 1990s.
