The parish of Wolverton covers an area of 2324 acres, and is bounded on the north by the Ouse, on the east by a small tributary of that river flowing from Calverton, and on the south-west by the Roman road called Watling Street. Where Watling Street becomes the main street of Stony Stratford the boundary leaves it and turns north so as to exclude the town from Wolverton. The ancient boundary evidently ran straight down Watling Street to the banks of the Ouse, for till the 16th century at least the ‘east end’ of Stony Stratford was part of Wolverton. The ground slopes downwards from a height of about 300 ft. in the south of the parish to 200 ft. on the banks of the Ouse. for more click here
