Infos

Aylesbury is Buckinghamshire's county town and has a rich history. Excavations in the 1980s uncovered an Iron Age hill fort, revealing it was a stronghold of the ancient Britons. In the Middle Ages, it became a major trading centre owing to its location on the Roman road Akeman Street. During the Civil War it was a supporter of the Parliamentary cause. Today, buildings from Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian times bear witness to its history. In Aylesbury History Tour, author Charles Close takes readers on a tour around the town s streets and buildings, showing how its famous landmarks used to look and how they have altered over the years, as well as exploring some of the lesser-known sights and hidden corners. With the help of a handy location map, readers are invited to discover for themselves the history and the changing face of Aylesbury.
