Chackmore
Chackmore (occasionally also known as Chalkmore) is a hamlet in the parish of Radclive, in north Buckinghamshire, England. The hamlet is approached using the avenue that links Buckingham with Stowe Park.

The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Ceacca's moor'. It has been suggested though that the first part of the name could stem from the ancient word ceacce, meaning 'hill'. The hamlet was first recorded in manorial rolls in 1241 as Chakemore.

It is suggested by some that Chackmore was once a village in its own right, as anciently it had its own chapel, though this has long since disappeared.

Education

The village is home to St James and St John Church of England Primary School which was formed in September 2006 by merging Akeley Church of England School and Chackmore Church of England School, and by extending the merged school from a first school to a combined school.
