Ringshall is a hamlet in Buckinghamshire, amongst the Chiltern Hills. It lies very close to the Hertfordshire boundary.
Ringshall is one of four place-names in the villages around Edlesborough that have an origin with the suffix healh; the others being Dagnall, Hudnall and Northall.[1] Healh is an Old English word of uncertain meaning known only from place-names, which may mean a lordly hall (heall) or a pagan temple (ealh).
Ringshall-Hall Farm is in the Edlesborough part of the hamlet's lands, but the hamlet was always appendant to Ivinghoe.[2] The Ivinghoe part of the hamlet was made part of Little Gaddesden civil parish in 1895,[3] but some houses have since been built along Beacon Road in the area that remained as part of the civil parish of Ivinghoe.
