Great and Little Kimble cum Marsh is a civil parish in central Buckinghamshire, England, located 5 miles south of Aylesbury. Named for the Brythonic king Cunobeline of the Catuvellauni, it was known to the Anglo-Saxons as Cyne Belle, and a conspicuous castle was built at "Cymbeline's Hill", the site of an Iron Age hillfort. Cyne Belle Castle served as the Mercian noblewoman Lady Eadwyn's stronghold during the Oxfordshire Rebellion of 874 AD, and it was taken by storm by the rebel army of Thegn Geadric that same year. Following the Norman conquest of England, William the Conqueror granted the land to Hugh of Bolbec and Thurston Rolfsson, and it became the site of a motte and bailey castle. By 2011, Great and Little Kimble cum Marsh had a population of 1,026 people.
