Turville, Civil parish and village in Buckinghamshire, England

Turville sits at the base of a valley in the Chiltern Hills, with Cobstone Windmill positioned on the hilltop overlooking the settlement.

The village name originates from Anglo-Saxon times, recorded as Thyrefeld in 796, and the manor belonged to St Albans Abbey until 1547.

The parish church of St Mary the Virgin and numerous locations throughout the village appear in television series The Vicar of Dibley.

The Bull and Butcher pub serves as the central gathering spot in the village, offering meals and refreshments to visitors and residents.

Ellen Sadler, known as the Sleeping Girl of Turville, gained international attention after reportedly sleeping continuously for nine years from 1871.
