Buckinghamshire Leasing
Did You Know?Buckinghamshire is more than “just another county” in the heart of England – it’s well-known for its amazing historic gardens, its tunnel systems, and acres of National Trust land. Buckinghamshire is a historically rich, largely rural home county north-west of London, known for the Chiltern Hills, affluent towns like Marlow and Beaconsfield, and as the home of Roald Dahl and the Paralympic movement. Aylesbury is the county town, while Milton Keynes is its largest urban area. It is well-known for being a regular vacation spot for British Prime Ministers thanks to the presence of Chequers, a mansion estate set up in 1921 close to the majestic Chiltern Hills. The historic county of Buckinghamshire has been in existence since it was a sub-division of the kingdom of Wessex in the 10th century. It was formed from about 200 communities that could between them fund a castle in Buckingham, to defend against invading Danes. The Ridgeway, widely regarded as the oldest road in the UK, links Ivinghoe Beacon to Overton Hill, therefore cutting through Bucks. Buckinghamshire is named after the town of Buckingham, combining the Old English name "Bucca" (a Saxon landowner) with "ing" (followers/kin) and "ham" (homestead/village), meaning "the district of Bucca's home". From Cheryl Tweedy to James Cordon - singers, sports people, chefs, comedians and actors have all called Bucks home. Alex Horne, award-winning comedian of Taskmaster fame and his wife, journalist and newsreader, Rachel Horne live in Chesham. In 2024, Alex Horne was made a director of Chesham United Football Club. The swan emblem dates to Anglo-Saxon times, when Buckinghamshire was known for breeding swans for the King. The Bucks swan appears on the arms of some of the historic towns in Buckinghamshire, such as Aylesbury, Buckingham, Chesham, Marlow, and High Wycombe. The Museum is based in the village of Great Missenden, where Roald Dahl lived and wrote for 36 years.
