Review of Leighton Buzzard:
Leighton Buzzard Facts:
Location: Bedfordshire (Beds), England, UK.
Population: 37,000
Situated within the county of Beds, the busy town of Leighton Buzzard stands near the border between Buckinghamshire and Beds, on the Grand Union Canal, it has a population of approximately 37,000 and a past extending back to the era of the Romans, at which time the historic A5 (then known as Watling St) passed by the town. At present Leighton Buzzard is pretty much joined to the nearby town of Linslade and it is roughly mid-way between Luton and Milton Keynes, it is located next to the Chilterns (Chiltern Hills) and boasts an important sand quarrying industry.
Leighton Buzzard Through the Ages: It's believed that there had been settlements in and near to what's now called Leighton Buzzard going back to unrecorded times, age-old artifacts and coins stumbled on nearby show evidence of this fact. The old Watling Street (put up by the Romans), now referred to as the A5, passed through the close by areas of Dunstable and Hockliffe around about two thousand years back, and the Romans should have at least been aware of Leighton Buzzard at that time.
The Romans were in turn followed by the Anglo-Saxons, and it was the Anglo-Saxons who used the market place during the 10th Century, and artifacts found suggest that they were settling the locale more than likely since the 6th Century. The settlement existing at that time was not cited until 906 at which time the Danes signed a peace treaty at Tiddenfoot, the 1086 Domesday Book named Leighton Manor.
The ecclesiastical parish of Leighton Buzzard, over the years, embodied a lot greater area than merely the town alone, and included the settlements of Stanbridge, Heath & Reach, Eggington and BIllington. The "Leighton" in the name could very well have come from the old English for "a clearing in the woods", the "Buzzard" part did not get added on before the 12th Century after the Dean of Lincoln was required to distinguish it from an extra "Leighton" which was inside his diocese. The Manors of Leighton were leased to many different tenants over the ages, such as the Leighs of Stoneleigh, who followed Charles I during the English Civil War (1642-1645).
The town grew even bigger through the succeeding years and the appearance of a railway line and a canal during the Nineteenth Century saw the town evolve and develop. Present day Leighton Buzzard can be described as a flourishing market town which has seen accelerated development in the last few years.
