About Fencing in Buckingham
Buckingham was established as a fortified stronghold in 918 by Edward the Elder in his campaign against the Danes, with the fortification likely standing on what is now Castle Hill, the site later occupied by the parish church of St Peter and St Paul. The late Saxon kings actively promoted the town's growth, transferring an existing market from nearby Langport to Buckingham and encouraging settlers with promises of low taxation, and the town even operated its own royal mint, producing silver pennies for close to a century. Buckingham served as the county town of Buckinghamshire for centuries, though its castle had fallen into ruin by the 14th century, forcing the county's Shire Assizes to move elsewhere, and the town eventually lost its county town status altogether to Aylesbury in 1725, though its royal charters from Mary Tudor in 1554 and Charles II in 1684 still support the market days and fairs held in the town today.
