Buckinghamshire is one of the smaller English counties, yet one of the most varied, attractive and interesting historically. It falls into two quite distinct and separate halves, on either side of the chalk scarp of the Chilterns. To the north is a rural countryside of rounded hills, clay vales and brooks, with ancient towns such as Buckingham and Olney. The south is a series of steep sided, often dry valleys and ridges on the dip of the Chilterns sloping down towards London and the Thames Valley, with old towns such as Amersham, Beaconsfield and Eton.
This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.
In the late 1600s the parish registers for Kingsey in Buckinghamshire recorded the birth of Francis Ludlow son of Edward and Elizabeth. It is not clear where Edward and Elizabeth married, nor indeed where they lived prior to the birth of their son. This book contains the story of them, their children and their descendants who bore the Ludlow surname from 1699 to the present day.
