Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Emberton is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes in England, though until the foundation of the Borough in 1995 it was in historical Buckinghamshire. The village is near the border with Northamptonshire, just to the south of Olney and four miles north of Newport Pagnell.

The parish of Emberton is actually made up of three villages that were annexed together for ecclesiastical purposes in 1650: Petsoe, Ekeney and Emberton. Today nothing remains of Ekeney and Petsoe only exists as a hamlet called Petsoe End.

The village name is an Old English language word and means Eanbeorht's Farm. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was called Ambretone; in manorial records of 1227 it was Emberdestone.

The manor was previously owned by the Pagnell family of Newport Pagnell. The parish church is dedicated to All Saints.

At the heart of the village is the Clock Tower, recently renovated with the help of a grant from the Heritage Fund. Although there are no shops in the village, there is a Pub called the Bell and Bear.

Dan Wheldon, one of the biggest names in American motorsport, hails from Emberton. Though relatively unknown in his native Britain, Wheldon became a star in the U.S after winning both the IndyCar championship and the Indy 500 in 2005.
