A Quick History of Buckingham
914
The town is mentioned in the Burghal Hidage, one of England’s oldest historical records, when Alfred the Great’s son, King Edward, arrives with a large army and pushes the Vikings out of the area.
1086
Another mention, this time in the Domesday Book when the town consists of 62 households, 26 free men, 11 smallholders, 2 slaves and a mill.
1513
Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife, visits and introduces lace making, something the town will become famous for.
1529
Henry VIII takes away Buckingham’s status as county town and awards it to Aylesbury, home of the Boleyn family. This begins a running feud between the two towns.
1554
Buckingham give their support to Mary Tudor rather than Lady Jane Grey. Queen Mary rewards the town on 17th January issuing a royal charter, granting a weekly market and annual fair. Take that Alyesbury!
1642
The local gentry take opposing sides during the English Civil War. Both Cromwell and King Charles spend time in the town, the King holding a Council of War at Castle House.
1684
After the monarchy is restored, King Charles II describes the town as “The Loyal and Ancient Borough of Buckingham” issuing another charter and permission for another fair.
1725
On the 15th of March, much of the town is destroyed by fire, 138 dwellings from a total of 387 are burnt to the ground. The important court of assizes is moved to Aylesbury, stripping Buckingham of local power.
1748
In an attempt to win back the Assizes, the town builds a gaol. Today it is a local history museum.
1850
The first station is opened as part of Buckinghamshire Railway.
1860
Inventor and businessman John Rickett unveils his new steam-powered cars, not exactly Tesla, he only manages to sell two in his lifetime.
