Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish inside the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, positioned 23.6 miles (38 km) north west of London and 17 miles (27 km) 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. In line with the 2011 Census, the town boasts a permanent population of roughly 12,081 individuals. 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 homes and small shops. It was the first coach stopping place on the road in between London and Oxford. An annual fair is traditionally held on 10th May. Its charter, dating from 1269, originally allowed for a yearly market for trading goods and livestock, but it has now evolved 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 stopped. The town is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a wide area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, known as the Old Town. It is celebrated for the first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
