ref: MG1412d - Kingsbury Square.
Founded in Saxon times and the county
town since the reign of Henry VIII, Aylesbury today has little to show of
its ancient past. The most picturesque part of the town is in the mostly
Georgian area around the church.
The town centre is the Market Square, with its County Hall of
1740 and, hidden behind shops, the magnificent frontage of the King's Head
Hotel. Dating from about 1450, its windows include stained-glass
commemorating the marriage of Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou in 1445, who are
said to have stayed there on their honeymoon.
