Winslow

Winslow is a small market town on the road from Aylesbury to Buckingham.

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 designed St Paul's Cathedral in London. The eleventh century parish church in High Street is dedicated to St Laurence, and is twinned with St Paul’s Church in Winslow, Arizona.
