After seeing many other Alphabetical series, we decided to do our own for our corner of the county of Buckinghamshire.The caches all vary, some are bigger than others, but none are micros and all have room for swaps.
Winslow is a small market town and also a civil parish designated as a town council within Aylesbury Vale district in North Buckinghamshire. It has a population of about 4500.The town was first recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 795 as Wineshlauu, which translated into modern English means Wine's Mound. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Weneslai.
One of the finest buildings in Buckinghamshire is situated in this small town. Winslow Hall, which sits on the main road leading into the town from Aylesbury, is thought to have been designed by Sir Christopher Wren circa 1700, in his latter days twenty-five years after he designedSt Paul's Cathedral in London. The eleventh century parish church in High Street is dedicated to St Laurence, and is twinned with St Paul’sChurch in Winslow, Arizona.
The Whaddon Chase fox hunt has traditionally met in the Town Square at Winslow every Boxing Day for many years. The occasion is very well attended with over a thousand people visiting the town on Boxing Day each year. The Brass Band from the nearby village of Great Horwood playing Christmas carols are always in attendance. Other annual events in the town include a beer festival in March, and The Winslow Show, a gymkhana and agricultural show which is held every August across the road from Winslow Hall.
