Buckinghamshire's historic towns

The towns in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes are an important part of our landscape. They represent our community and our county's history. 

We have completed a project surveying 30 settlements in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. This project has helped us to better understand the evolution of our towns.

As part of the project, funded by Historic England, we have created reports for each town and a summary of findings.

Historic towns report

This summary report looks into the archaeology and history of 30 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire and the unitary authority of Milton Keynes.
