Beaconsfield

Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish within the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, situated 23.6 miles (38 kilometres) north west of London and 17 miles (27 km) south east of the county's administrative town, Aylesbury. 4 towns are within five miles of Beaconsfield: Slough, Amersham, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe. It has an area of 7.59 square miles. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town has a population of about 12,000 inhabitants. The parish church at the crossroads of Old Beaconsfield is dedicated to St. Mary, and it was rebuilt of flint and bath stone by the Victorians in 1869. The United Reformed Church in Beaconsfield can trace its roots of non-conformist worship in the town back to 1704. Old Beaconsfield has a number of old coaching inns set along a wide street of red brick homes and little shops. It was the first coach stopping point on the road between London and Oxford. An annual fair is traditionally held on 10th May. Its charter, dating from 1269, originally allowed for an annual market for the trading goods and livestock, but it has now transformed into a funfair, held for one day only. In recent times, some residents have opposed the fair as a hindrance for the Old Town, and have made calls for the 735 year-old fair to be stopped. The town is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and features a substantial area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, generally known as the Old Town. It is notable for the very first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
