**Ibstone** (previously **Ipstone**) is a village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) in [Buckinghamshire](/source/Buckinghamshire), England. The village is in the [Chiltern Hills](/source/Chiltern_Hills) on the border with [Oxfordshire](/source/Oxfordshire), about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of [Stokenchurch](/source/Stokenchurch). The population of the parish at the [2011 Census](/source/2011_United_Kingdom_census) was 242,[1] an increase from 237 at the [2001 Census](/source/2001_United_Kingdom_census).[2]

The village name is [Anglo-Saxon](/source/Old_English) in origin and means 'Hibba's [boundary stone](/source/Boundary_marker)', referring to the boundary with Oxfordshire. At the time of King [Edward the Confessor](/source/Edward_the_Confessor) the village was in the possession of Tovi, thane of the king, and was called *Hibestanes*.

St Nicholas's Church

The [parish](/source/Parish) church, dedicated to [Saint Nicholas](/source/Saint_Nicholas), stands separate from the rest of the village; this is a common occurrence in places in this part of the country that had some standing in the pre-[Roman](/source/Roman_Britain) [Celtic](/source/Celt) period.

The village includes [Cobstone Windmill](/source/Cobstone_Windmill). The windmill was built around 1816 and is unusual in that it is a twelve-sided smock mill, still housing some of its original machinery. It was converted into a residency during the 1950s and then refurbished after 1971. It was also used as Caractacus Potts' workshop in the 1968 film, *[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang](/source/Chitty_Chitty_Bang_Bang_(film))* and seen in [*The New Avengers* (TV series)](/source/The_New_Avengers_(TV_series)) episode, *The House of Cards*. The actress [Hayley Mills](/source/Hayley_Mills) and her film producer husband [Roy Boulting](/source/Roy_Boulting) owned the windmill and lived there in the early 1970s.

The politician [Barbara Castle](/source/Barbara_Castle) also lived in the village.

The common is an area of open access land and the standing stone (OS GR SU7507 9371) was erected for the Millennium -year 2000.

[Ibstone](/source/Johann_Esch_and_Heinrich_Voes) is the name given to a hymn tune composed in 1875 by Maria C. Tiddeman (1837–1915), music professor in [Oxford University](/source/Oxford_University).[3]
