Review of Leighton Buzzard:
Factfile for Leighton Buzzard:
Location: Bedfordshire, East of England, UK.
Population: 37,000
Located in the county of Bedfordshire, the bustling town of Leighton Buzzard stands near to the boundary between Buckinghamshire and Beds, on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, Leighton Buzzard has a population of around thirty seven thousand and a story extending back to Roman days, at which time the historic A5 (then known as Watling St) passed the town. Nowadays Leighton Buzzard is attached to the nearby town of Linslade and it is roughly mid-way between Luton (Bedfordshire) and Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire), it is placed near the Chilterns (Chiltern Hills) and boasts an important quarrying industry (sand).
The Story of Leighton Buzzard: It is thought that there existed settlements in or around what's now known as Leighton Buzzard stretching back to unrecorded times, age-old artifacts and coinage discovered nearby give evidence of this. The historical Watling Street (constructed by the Romans), now identified as the A5, cut through neighbouring Hockliffe and Dunstable over 2,000 yrs ago, and the Romans would have at the very least been aware of the Leighton Buzzard settlement during those times.
The Romans were later followed by the Anglo-Saxons, and it was they who used a market sometime in the 10th Century, and antiquities unearthed suggest that they were settling the vicinity almost certainly from the 6th Century. The commune as such wasn't discussed till 906 after the Danes made a peace treaty at Tiddenfoot, the Domesday Book (1086) described Leighton Manor.
The parish of Leighton Buzzard, traditionally, comprised a far bigger area than only the town by itself, and comprised the hamlets of Stanbridge, Eggington, Heath & Reach and Billington. The "Leighton" in the name seems to come from the old English for "a clearing in the woods", the "Buzzard" piece wasn't inserted before the 12th Century at which time the Dean of Lincoln had to differentiate it from yet another "Leighton" which existed within his diocese. The Manors of Leighton were let to a variety of tenants over the years, including the Leighs of Stoneleigh, who helped Charles I through the English Civil War (1642-1645).
The settlement grew even bigger through the following years and the development of a canal and a railway service in the 19th Century saw the town develop and grow. Twenty-first century Leighton Buzzard can be described as a growing market town which has seen accelerated development in recent years.
