Good evening! Thank you so much for over 7,700 subscribers - I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos :) This evening, we're going for a walk around one of England's most historic market towns, and the county town of Buckinghamshire: Aylesbury! As for some bonus info about the town, we mentioned briefly that a church has stood in Aylesbury since around 571 AD in the Anglo-Saxon period, and it's possible that the town's name refers to just that! In Saxon times, Aylesbury was known as 'Aegelesburgh', with the 'Aegeles' part of the name thought to be related to the Welsh word 'eglwys', meaning 'church'.

I was to give my opinion to this walk video, it was just fantastic, just showing me how beautiful this town is and what kind of events had taken place in the previous centuries and in the years after too. Especially the statues of David Robert Jones alias David Bowie. Being en route in this video I enjoyed it very much. Many thanks and many good commentaries in written form you have commented.

The Stoke Mandeville village had nothing to do with the games, but it was the Stoke Mandeville Hospital, based in Aylesbury, where the games were started.

A cool video i went back there recently and was most surprised how not only things have changed but also how tiny everything now looks .. I still remember looking out for the ghost of Old Jasper Jackson in the St Marys graveyard , the story in the 70´s was he jumped out of the top window in Derby Arms pub . The Green Man also brings back memories of the punk years and it being the meeting point before Friars . White Swan was alwo known locally as ‘ Fosche ´s place ‘ old bob ... I know all these streets , walked them all going to and from school but that is no longer there ( quarrendon ) and even laid every red brick in the market square early 90 ´s .

I lived in Aylesbury early WW2 to about 1947 and knew every back street....barely recognise now as a lot of the shopping areas look like slums. Nah it was Hissy Harry that instigated the Paralympics... Remember Stoke Manderville Hospital and the wounded Troops in their Blue outfits.
