A short history of Leighton Buzzard

The addition of Buzzard is explained either by the Dean of Lincoln or by a prebendary named Theobald de Busar. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Leighton Buzzard and Linslade both as Leestone and a market charter dates from that year. A legal record of 1424 spells the name Leytun Busherd.

During the Second World War the area housed a secret communications facility and the headquarters of No. 60 Group RAF. The Great Train Robbery happened at Bridego Bridge in 1963 and Linslade merged administratively with the town in 1965. All Saints Church and the Church of St Mary are Grade I listed.
