Ludgershall is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is near the border with Oxfordshire, about five miles east of Bicester, four miles west of Waddesdon. In 2001, the population of the parish was 402.
The name of the village is Anglo Saxon in origin, and is said to mean "nook with a trapping spear"[2], but this is disputed[3]. It occurs in more than one place in England (see Ludgershall). In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Litlegarsele.
Henry II granted land within the village to the priory of Santingfield in Picardy, France. It is possible that a hospital was founded on this land, although it is uncertain. In the reign of Henry VI, when all foreign church possessions were seized by the Crown, this land was given to King's College, Cambridge.[4][5][6]
Ludgershall was at one time home to the theologian John Wyclif.
