Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish inside the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, centred 23.6 miles (38 kilometres) north west of London and 17 miles (27 kilometres) south east of the county's administrative town, Aylesbury. Four towns are within five miles of Beaconsfield: Slough, Amersham, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe. It has an area of about 8 square miles. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a resident population of roughly 12,081 individuals. The parish church at the crossroads of Old Beaconsfield is devoted 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 modest shops. It was the first coach stopping place on the road between London and Oxford. An annual fair is traditionally held on 10th May. Its charter, granted in 1269, originally established a yearly market for the trading of goods and livestock, but it has now transformed into a funfair, erected for 1 day only. In recent years, some residents have opposed the fair as a hindrance for the Old Town, and have called for the 735 year-old fair to be stopped. The town neighbours the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a substantial area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, called the Old Town. It is notable for the first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
