 '''Turnip End is the most interesting name of all''', since the settlement lies just within the great defensive earthworks known as Grims Ditch which surrounds Great and Little Hampden, the seat of the Hampden family, leaders of Desborough Hundred since pre- Norman times at least.   It is said that Grimm is another name for Odin, or the Devil, and so it might be, but 'Grymus' is Welsh for 'powerful' and so these fortifications must have looked, crowning the Chiltern heights and overlooking the main pass from the Thames Valley into central England, the pass used by the Angles and Saxons to cut off S.E. Britain from the Celtic west.

 Turnip End is probably a contraction of Yh-Dynow-Pen, being "Cornish" for "within the chief earthworks" and so it is.   One slope up to these earthworks is Darvills Hill, derived from 'Deveral', which is 'Cornish' for 'built up' or 'raised', that is "the hill that is raised up or built up"
