Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish in the South Buckingham district of Buckinghamshire, positioned 23.6 miles (38 km) north west of London and 17 miles (27 kilometres) south east of the county's administrative town, Aylesbury. 4 towns are within 5 miles of Beaconsfield: Slough, Amersham, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe. It has an area of 7.59 square miles. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town boasts a permanent population of roughly 12,081 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 features a number of old coaching inns along a wide street of red brick houses 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, originally established an annual market for the trading of goods and livestock, but it has now evolved into a funfair, held for 1 day only. In recent times, 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 neighbours the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts a substantial area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, referred to as the Old Town. It is famed for the first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School.
