It is approximately five miles west of [Amersham](/source/Amersham), about four and a half miles north west of [High Wycombe](/source/High_Wycombe) and just under two miles south of Great Missenden, with its fast train to [London Marylebone](/source/Marylebone_station). The hamlet name 'Kingshill' means a hill in possession of the [king](/source/Monarch), which local [folklore](/source/Folklore) suggests was [King John](/source/John_of_England); there is certainly evidence of King John granting the manor at Kingshill to Hugh de Gournay in 1213, although this same document states that the land was previously possessed by Geoffrey fitzPeter.[2] The affix 'Little' was added later to differentiate between the hamlet and neighbouring village [Great Kingshill](/source/Great_Kingshill), although the two are in separate parishes and, indeed, separate districts, with Little Kingshill, in effect, an extension of Great Missenden. Little Kingshill has one pub: The Full Moon in Hare Lane. The main road, Windsor Lane, is home to the playing fields, the playground, the Baptist church, which is home to a coffee shop, and the village school. This [Chiltern](/source/Chiltern_Hills) village is surrounded by [Metropolitan Green Belt](/source/Metropolitan_Green_Belt) countryside. Little Kingshill has its own primary school with a nursery, catering for children from 3–11 years. It is controlled by [Buckinghamshire County Council](/source/Buckinghamshire_County_Council).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Location of Mid Buckinghamshire"](https://members.parliament.uk/constituency/4175/location). *parliament.uk*.
