Description
Discover the rich history and hidden charm of Leighton Buzzard, a medieval market town in the English countryside.
This charming town has a long social history spanning over 1,000 years, with a royal estate recorded in the Domesday Book. The sand industry has played a significant role in shaping its development, while traditional crafts like straw plaiting and lace making have been sustained by the population. Today, Leighton Buzzard is a town to explore, with its iconic All Saints church, Market Cross, and narrow High Street lined with small independent shops.
This book takes you on a journey through the town's history, from its medieval roots to the changes it has undergone over the last 50 years. With its unique blend of old and new, Leighton Buzzard is a fascinating place to visit and learn about.
