Singleborough is a hamlet in the parish of Great Horwood, in Buckinghamshire, located about a mile from the main village.
The hamlet's name is from the Old English language, and means 'gravel hill'.
It appears spelt as Synkelburgh in 1440, on a plea roll of the Court of Common Pleas, where a resident Thomas May, with others, was accused of trespassing on John Carter's land in Great Horwood & assaulting him.[1]
