Lathbury is a village and civil parish in the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 1 km north of Newport Pagnell, on the opposite side of the River Great Ouse, and about 8 km (5 miles) north-east of Central Milton Keynes. A meander of the River Great Ouse almost surrounds the village and parish, and the Ouse Valley Way passes through the parish.

History

The village name is an Old English language word, meaning "fortification built with laths or beams". In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was listed as Latesberie.

On the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the advowson of Latbbury Abbey was given to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford.

There was also once a 'free school' in a chapel in the churchyard, founded in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, leased to the schoolmaster by Christ Church. The school was pulled down in 1698 and its materials used to repair the ancient rectory.

The parish church, All Saints' Church, is a Grade I listed building, of 12th-century origin.
