About Beaconsfield - show infohide info
Beaconsfield market town is located in Buckinghamshire, England, approximately 30 miles northwest of London. It is part of the London commute belt, and lies in the pleasant scenery of the Chiltern Hills. Due to this, Beaconsfield is an expensive area in which to live. In 1184 Beaconsfield’s original name appears in the manor records as Bekenesfelde or "Beacon's Field" in modern English. This indicated that here was a field in which could be found a beacon or signal fire. In the time of the Civil war, Beaconsfield was well placed mid-way between the two cities of Oxford and London, which made it a goof location for a change of horses. Consequently, coach inns and hostels were in high demand, and their buildings still line the High Street and the Old Town today. By the 18th century, large estate developments were growing around Beaconsfield. Following old traditions, an annual fair is held in Beaconsfield on May 10th. It was previously a trading fair for agriculture, livestock and goods, but it is now a funfair. With the arrival of the railway at the turn of the 20th century, new developments occurred in both the New Town and Old Town of Beaconsfield. Today, Beaconsfield is served by a railway station on Chiltern Line out of Marylebone towards High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill. The Old Town of Beaconsfield, which grew up on the Oxford Road in part to serve the coach traffic, is now mirrored by New Beaconsfield which has grown up round the station to the north.
