Review of Leighton Buzzard:

Information for Leighton Buzzard:

Location: Bedfordshire, England, United Kingdom.

Population: 37,000

Positioned within the county of Beds in the East of England, the busy town of Leighton Buzzard sits near to the county border between Buckinghamshire and Beds, on the Grand Union Canal, Leighton Buzzard has a populace of about 37,000 and a past extending back to Roman days, at which time the historical A5 (then known as Watling St) passed the town. These days Leighton Buzzard is connected to the adjacent town of Linslade it is roughly midway between Luton (Beds) and Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire), it is placed next to the Chilterns (Chiltern Hills) and boasts a vital quarrying industry (sand).

The Story of Leighton Buzzard: It is believed that there were settlements in or around what's now known as Leighton Buzzard stretching back to prehistoric times, early artifacts and coinage picked up near by show proof of this. The old Watling Street (set up by the Romans), now called the A5, cut through close by Hockliffe and Dunstable approximately two thousand years back, and the Romans should have at least been aware of the Leighton Buzzard settlement at that time.

The Anglo-Saxons followed after the Romans, and it was them who were using the market place sometime in the tenth century, and antiquities uncovered show that they were residing in the area quite likely since the 6th Century. The settlement as such wasn't cited until 906 after the Danes signed a peace treaty at Tiddenfoot, the Domesday Book (1086) talked about Leighton Manor.

The parish of Leighton Buzzard, traditionally, encompassed a much larger area than only the town alone, and consisted of the hamlets of Eggington, Heath & Reach, Billington and Stanbridge. The "Leighton" in the name seems to come from the old English for "a clearing in the woods", the "Buzzard" section wasn't added on till the 12th Century after the Dean of Lincoln had to differentiate it from the other "Leighton" which existed inside his diocese. The Manors of Leighton were leased to a great many tenants over the generations, including the Leighs of Stoneleigh, who followed Charles I in the Civil War (1642-1645).

Leighton Buzzard grew even larger through the coming years and the coming of a railway service and a canal during the Nineteenth Century saw the town develop and evolve. Present day Leighton Buzzard is a booming market town that has witnessed greater development in current times.
