Gerrards Cross is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the south of the county, near the border with Greater London.
The village name is fairly new when compared with other villages that surround it. Gerrards Cross did not exist in any formal sense until 1859 when it was formed by taking pieces out of five parishes - Chalfont St Peter, Fulmer, Iver, Langley Marish and Upton cum Chalvey - to form a new parish. In the early 17th century it was a hamlet in the parish of Chalfont St Peter. It is the site of an Iron Age hill fort.

Anglo-Saxon Tæppa's Mound
Taeppa's burial mound is 15 feet high, 80 feet in diameter, 240 feet in circumference and stands in the grounds of the churchyard which contained the original Taplow church, which was demolished in the last century. The churchyard survives within the grounds of Taplow Court Estate and is still owned by the Church of England. In 1883 James Rutland, a local antiquary, decided to excavate the mound, which proved to be the richest Anglo-Saxon burial discovered, only to be surpassed by Sutton Hoo many years later. The initial cuttings into the mound produced merely earth and gravel together with various flints, worked bone, animal bones and pieces of pottery. Eventually the excavators dug to a depth of five feet below the mound's base where they found the grave of Taeppa himself.
Of his body all that remained were fragments of a thigh bone and vertebrae. The grave area was 12 feet by 8 feet with a floor of fine gravel and the chamber had been constructed of wood. The grave goods were the highlights of the excavation and included:
- a gold buckle, four inches long and four ounces in weight
- a pair of gilt bronze clasps
- remains of six drinking horns with gilt silver mounts and terminals
- four glass 'claw' beakers
- bone gaming pieces
- a gold fringe, originally attached to a garment
- an iron sword, three spear heads, two shield bosses and a knife
- a bronze Coptic bowl
- a large bronze-lined cauldron
- two wooden buckets with decorated bronze rim bands
- two crescent-shaped bronze ornaments, thought to be part of a harp.
