Prestwood is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about a mile west of Great Missenden, four miles north of High Wycombe.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Priest-wood'. There is evidence of settlement in Prestwood from the Middle Ages, when the village was mainly covered in oak, beech and ash trees. Hatches Farm is one of the buildings that dates from the medieval period.
By 1849, more of the woodland had been cleared to make way for agriculture and common land, around which approximately 100 houses now existed. Many villagers worked in cottage industries such as lace making, and a wheelwrights was also present in the village. Many of the villagers made use of the common land to graze animals; there were about 70 watering ponds. In addition, gorse was harvested for fuel.Beech trees made up the bulk of the woodland, and were used in the local furniture industry. The small village population was served by five separate public houses.
Prestwood is a hamlet now in the parish of Kinver, but in the Kingswinford until the creation of Brierley Hill Urban District in the 1930s.
The name is derived from priests' wood, because it was part of the estate of Haswic, which was confirmed to Lady Wulfrun and used by her to endow the priests of Wolverhampton, but in 1086, it was waste, because of the king's forest.
Haswic became Ashwood Hay, one of three hays (hedged hunting areas) of Kinver Forest. The hay was managed by a bailiff, who occupied the farm of Prestwood by the sergeanty of keeping the bailiwick of Ashwood Hay. This belonged to a family who took their name from the estate, and owned the estate for over a century until Richard de Prestwood granted it to William son of Adam de Chetwynd in 1292. William granted it to Agnes widow of Roger de Somery of Dudley Castle and her son. On the death of John de Somery in 1322, it was described as half a carucate and some meadow, but on the death of Roger de Hilary in 1357, it consisted of a messuage, a virgate and 10 acres of meadow, though it is not clear why it should have been his, as it long continued to be the property of the lords of Dudley Castle. It thus came into the hands of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, the Lord Protector to Edward VI, but was attainted of high treason following the accession of Queen Mary.

Da dove mi telefoni non muoverti da lì
Ho mani che mi tremano polmoni che respirano
Ah...sei ritornata dolce malattia di un anno fa
E dicono che al mondo amore più non c’è
Perché non hanno visto me
Ma presto io e te
Con due nuvole di fiato, io e te
Ci diremo ti ho pensato, io e te
Ritorneremo io e te
Con la spesa al mercatino , io e te
Con la voglia di un bambino ,io e te
Ritorneremo io e te
Se sfascio l’automobile
Portatemi , portatemi da lei
E se io fossi per morire certo guarirei
E dicono che al mondo amore più non c’è
Perché non hanno visto me
Ma presto io e te Ma presto nel viale
Con due nuvole di fiato, io e te correndoci incontro
Ci diremo ti ho pensato, io e te ma presto a casa
Ritorneremo io e te coi soldi contati
Con la spesa al mercatino , io e te faremo l’amore
Con la voglia di un bambino ,io e te ma presto ma presto
Ancora insieme, io e te ma presto ma presto
Ritorneremo io e te Ma presto nel viale
Con due nuvole di fiato , io e te correndoci incontro
Ci diremo ti ho pensato , io e te ma presto ma presto
Ancora insieme io e te ma presto a casa
Ancora insieme io e te ma presto ma presto
Ancora insieme io e te ma presto ma presto
