Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish within the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, positioned 23.6 miles (38 kilometres) 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 has an area of roughly 8 square miles. As per the 2011 Census, the town has a resident population of approximately 12,000 inhabitants. 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 several old coaching inns set along a wide street of red brick homes and little 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 established an annual market for trading of goods and livestock, but it has now evolved into a funfair, held for 1 day only. In the last few years, some residents have opposed the fair as a hindrance to 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 considerable area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, generally known as the Old Town. It is famous for the very first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
