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 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 covers an area of 7.59 square miles. Based on the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of approximately 12,081 people. 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 features a number of old coaching inns along a wide street of red brick homes and little 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, initially allowed for an annual market for trading of goods and livestock, but it has now evolved into a funfair, erected for one 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 is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and features a large area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, generally known as 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.
