Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish in the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, located 23.6 miles (38 kilometres) north west of London and 17 miles (27 kilometres) 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 approximately 8 square miles. Based on the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 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 features several old coaching inns set along a wide street of red brick houses and modest 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 established an annual market for trading goods and livestock, but it has now transformed into a funfair, held for one day only. In the last few years, 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 scrapped. The town neighbours the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a considerable area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, called the Old Town. It's famed for the very first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School. For all of your home improvements, make sure that you employ vetted professionals in Beaconsfield to ensure you get the top quality service.
