Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Turville is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about five miles west of High Wycombe, five miles north of Henley-on-Thames.

The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'dry field'. It was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 796 as Thyrefeld.

The manor of Turville once belonged to the abbey at St Albans, but was seized by the Crown in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1547. The manor house has since been rebuilt as Turville Park, a fine stately home in the village. The present incumbent of the manor is Lord Sainsbury, of the J Sainsbury plc supermarket family.

The 1942 film Went the Day Well? in which German paratroopers invade a small English village was filmed in Turville. Additionally many of the outdoor scenes of television show The Vicar of Dibley were filmed in Turville, as were the outdoor scenes of Goodnight Mr Tom, the Daffyd Thomas scenes in Little Britain and the Cobstone Windmill used in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the neighbouring village of Ibstone, overlooks the village of Turville. Scenes have also been shot in the village for Midsomer Murders and Marple.

The local pub is The Bull & Butcher.
