In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bledlow like this:
BLEDLOW, a village and a parish in Wycombe district, Bucks. The village stands in a romantic ravine, called the Glyde, on the verge of the county, adjacent to the Thame and Maidenhead railway, 2 miles SW of Princes Risborough; and has a station on the railway, and a post office under Tring.—The parish includes also a liberty called Bledlow-Ridge. ...
Acres, 4,130. Real property, £4,891. Pop., 1,189. Houses, 232. The property is subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Oxford. Value, £175.* Patron, Lord Carrington. The church is early English; has interesting features, injured by white-wash; and stands on the brink of the ravine at the village.
