[edit] Town Status
I spoke to the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies today, and they confirmed the town status of Wendover. It is definitely a town rather than a village, they provided a couple of strong references stating it as such as well as offering the definitive definition of a town in the United Kingdom. Wendover has had royal charter to hold a weekly market since 1464: something that defines this place as a town, and that is something that will be going into the article in a sec.
The two references were Sheehan's History and Topography of Buckinghamshire (1960), and the Kelly's Directory or Buckinghamshire (1939). An online reference is genuki (which features the word TOWN in big letters).
Also Wendover was formerly a borough with a Borough Council (or so they told me).
