Beacon's Bottom, also known as Bacon's Bottom,^[1]^[2] is a hamlet on the A40 between Piddington and Stokenchurch in England. Until 1895 it was administratively part of Oxfordshire, and was transferred to Buckinghamshire with its parent parish Stokenchurch in 1896.^[1] It was one of the principal sites of High Wycombe's 19th Century chair-making industry, known locally as bodging.^[3]^[4]
