In 1865 there were further changes. To the deanery of Amersham two parishes were 

 added ; one of long standing, viz. High Wycombe, another quite new, Gerrard's Cross. To 

 the deanery of Burnham six parishes were added (Dropmore being a new subdivision of the 

 parish of Burnham), and one was taken away from it. The deaneries of Stony Stratford, 

 Wycombe and Wendover (first division) were altogether abolished, and their parishes redis- 

 tributed ; Buckingham was divided into two parts. The new deaneries formed in their 

 place were as follows * : 



Aylesbury 



Buckingham (first division) 



Buckingham (second division) 



Marlow 



containing 24 parishes.

In 1874 there were several minor changes, nineteen parishes being redistributed among 

 the various deaneries. The greater changes were (i) the combining of the two parts of Buck- 

 ingham deanery into one ; (2) the revival of Wycombe deanery, containing 18 parishes ; (3) 

 the formation of two new deaneries Bletchley, from the second portion of Newport, and 

 Ivinghoe from the second portion of Mursley. 2 The last change of importance was the re- 

 division of Buckingham deanery into two parts in 1897, and in the same year the parish of 

 Christ Church was severed from the ancient parish of High Wycombe. 3
