Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish within the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, centred 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 outlined by the 2011 Census, the town has a resident population of approximately 12,000 people. 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 a number of old coaching inns set along a wide street of red brick houses 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, initially allowed for a yearly market for trading of goods and livestock, but it has now transformed into a funfair, held for 1 day only. In recent 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 large area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, referred to as the Old Town. It is famous for the first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
