Aylesbury A History
Situated on the Roman Akeman Street, in the heart of the Vale to which it gives its name, Aylesbury's claim to be the county town of Buckinghamshire derives from its centrality and its early status as a royal manor, which made it the obvious location for the county gaol and the venue for the assizes and other county gatherings.
It was the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastic settlement, or minster, and the early town's topography evolved around the church and its environs and around Kingsbury, a large open space whose name recalls the royal 'hospice' mentioned in a grant of land made by Henry II to his otter hunter, Roger Foll.
In 1554 Queen Mary granted the townsmen a royal charter of incorporation and, although the charter soon lapsed, the right which it
conferred of election two MPs somehow survived and was later claimed on behalf of the householders.
This hardback book has 120 pages and measures: 25.4 x 17.8 x 1.2cm
