Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Addington is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, about 2 miles west of Winslow and 3 miles south east of Buckingham. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 145.

First recorded as Edintone in the Domesday Book of 1086, its name means Eadda's Estate. Nearby Adstock is named after the same person. The manor at that time was in the possession of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux.

A notable building in the village is the Mansion House, which is a 19th century building on the site of the much older manor. The former manor house was used twice during the English Civil War as the national headquarters of the Parliamentarian forces.

During the Second World War from 1940 to 1945 Addington House was the residence of the Cigna, Moravec, Strankmuller and Tauer families of the Czechoslovak Military Intelligence staff under Colonel František Moravec, who planned the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The President of Czechoslovakia Edvard Beneš resided at The Abbey in nearby Aston Abbotts.

The parish church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin.
