Wheatfield is a civil parish and deserted medieval village about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Thame in Oxfordshire. Wheatfield's toponym is derived from the Old English for "white field", referring to the ripe crops that the Anglo-Saxons grew on its fertile land.[2] Few of Wheatfield's buildings remain today except the Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew, the former rectory and the former outbuildings of the no-longer-standing manor house.
