In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Quarrendon like this:
QUARRENDON, or Quarrington, a parish in Aylesbury district, Bucks; 1¾ mile N W of Aylesbury r.station. Post-town, Aylesbury. Acres, 2,080. Real property, £4, 318. Pop., 58. Houses, 14. The man..or belongs to J. Du Pre, Esq. Nearly all the land is devoted to grazing. The living is a vicarage, annexed to the vicarage of Bierton, in the diocese of Oxford. ...
There is no church. A splendid chapel was erected here in 1392, by John Farnham; contained fine monuments and altar-tombs of the Lee family; and is now reduced to remains of a beautiful decorated English window, and a few roofless arches.
