Stonor (/ˈstnər/) is a mostly cultivated and wooded village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Pishill with Stonor, in the South Oxfordshire, district, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It takes up part of the Stonor valley in the Chiltern Hills which rises to 120 meters above sea level within this south-east part of the civil parish, it is centred 3.8 miles (6.1 km) north of Henley-on-Thames. Stonor House close to the village centre has been the home of the Stonor family for more than eight centuries. The house and park are open to the public at certain times of the year. The house has a 12th-century private chapel built of flint and stone, with an early brick tower. There are also signs of a prehistoric stone circle in the park, which gives the place name its etymology.[2]
