Whaddon is an old Celtic word meaning "Wheat Hill". Whaddon stands 429 feet above sea level and was once surrounded by dense forest, the Whaddon Chase, which gives its name to the local Hunt. There is evidence that Whaddon was inhabited in pre-historic times – a flint skin-scraper was uncovered near the church. Ancient British and Roman coins have also been found, and the site of a Roman camp is nearby.
