Waterstock is a small community of only 84 people nestling in a bend in the River Thame. Waterstock Mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village centres around the 15th century church and Waterstock House, next to the church, is just the stables and servants' wing from a much grander 18th century house largely demolished in the 1950s. The stables now house a famous riding and training centre, and the village roads usually have riders and horses exercising.
