Discover Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, England. It has a population of 56,000 people (2012 estimate) and is within the Aylesbury Urban Area, which includes the small towns of Bierton, Fairford Leys, Stoke Mandeville and Watermead, and has a total population of 69,000 people.

Aylesbury was recorded in Old English as Æglesburgh, although in fact there are dozens of variations to its spelling. The area has been inhabited since the Iron Age. Aylesbury itself is believed to have been established during the Anglo-Saxon period. Over time it developed into a major market town.

In 1529 King Henry VIII made Aylesbury the county town of Buckinghamshire in place of Buckingham, purported to curry favour with Thomas Boleyn, the father of Anne Boleyn, as he owned properties there.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
