1890 Kelly's Directory - LEIGHTON BUZZARD

LEIGHTON BUZZARD is a union town, parish, head of a county court district and petty sessional division, and 40.5 miles from London by railway, 20 south-west from Bedford, 6 south from Woburn, 14 south-west from Ampthill, 8 north-west from Dunstable, 10 from Aylesbury and 15 from Hemel Hempstead, in the Southern division of the county, hundred of Manshead, rural deanery of Dunstable, arch-deaconry of Bedford and diocese of Ely: the parish contains the ecclesiastical parishes of Billington, Eggington, Heath and Reach and Stanbridge, and the market town and township of Leighton Buzzard. The railway station is situated in the adjoining parish of Linslade (Bucks) and is half a mile from the town; the Grand Junction canal passes through Linslade near the river Ousel; the canal and railway give easy communication both with the metropolis and the northern counties, and a branch railway has been formed from here to Dunstable, a distance of 7 miles. The adjunct to the name is generally thought to be a corruption of Beaudesert, though some have derived it from Bozard, otherwise Basart, the name of an ancient family, one of whom was knight of the shire in the reign of Edward III. Some have conjectured that this is the place called Lygoean Burgh, mentioned in the Saxon Chronicles as having been taken in 571 by Cuthwulf, brother of the King of Wessex. The town stands near the north-western border of the county, and on the eastern bank of the Ousel, a tributary of the Ouse, which here separates the county from Bucks; it consists of one wide and several small streets, branching off at the Market place, and is lighted with gas, and contains some fine buildings; water is obtained from pumps and private wells.

The church of All Saints, formerly collegiate, is a spacious cruciform embattled structure, principally of the Early English period, and consisting of chancel with an ancient vestry on the north, nave, aisles, transepts, north, south and west porches, and a central tower with pinnacles and octagonal spire, containing 8 bells: the windows, nine of which are stained, are nearly all Perpendicular, and some have very good tracery; the chancel retains its stalls, and there is some good screen work, and an eagle lectern of wood, with traces of colour and a chain for padlock attached: there is an early font, with circular bulging basin, on a short round columnar base, surrounded by four shafts, the capitals of which are level with the rim of the basin; there are monuments to William Jackmain, gent. 1592; Francis Willis, gent. 1646, and his wife Margaret (Saunders), and Catherine, wife of Richard Whitlock, gent. 1649; the church was thoroughly restored in 1885-6, at a cost of over £3,000, defrayed by public subscriptions, including a donation of £100 from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and was re-opened July 10th 1886. The register dates from the year 1562, and includes the earlier registers of Billington, Eggington, Heath and Reach, and some part of Stanbridge. The living is a vicarage, tithe rent-charge £300 gross yearly value £350, with residence, and formerly in the gift of the prebendary of Leighton Buzzard in Lincoln Cathedral, but the prebendary’s interest therein, valued at £193, has been purchased by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and the living is now in the gift of the Bishop of Ely, and has been held since 1862 by the Rev. Thomas Wallis Richards M.A. of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and surrogate. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners pay £120 towards the stipend of a curate in the parish, and £60 towards stipend of a second curate.

The church of St. Andrew, erected in 1866-7, at a cost of £3,800, and consecrated July 11 1867, is a building in the Early Decorated style, with some French details, and consists of chancel, nave, aisles, vestry, organ chamber and a tower 110 feet high, with an octagonal belfry, surmounted by eight perforated gablets, terminating in trefoil heads: the church will contain 600 persons; all the sittings are free: it is a chapel of ease, and has an endowment of £6 yearly.

Here are Baptist (two), Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels, and a Meeting House for the Society of Friends.

A Cemetery of 8 acres, situated in Miletree road, was formed in 1882, at a cost of about £3,000, including a mortuary chapel of stone and brick, with stained glass windows: it is under the control of a Burial Board of nine members.
The Town Hall situated near the centre of the market place, and rebuilt in 1851, is a plain structure, adorned at its western entrance and on the exterior of the south wall with ancient statues, removed from the Market Cross on its restoration: the County Court is held here monthly.

The Corn Exchange, situated in the Corn Market, and erected in 1862, at a cost, including site, of about £7,500, is a building of stone in a modern Italian style, from designs by Messrs.Bellamy and Hardy, of Lincoln: in the centre is an open tower, projecting over the pavement, the lower storey of which is arched, and upper one has carved caryatides, supporting deep frieze and a bold modillion cornice, over which a beautifully proportioned octangular turret rises to a height of about 85 feet: the assembly room, entered from a spacious landing, is capable of seating 300 to 350 persons, and attached are retiring rooms: the Exchange Hall will seat from 600 to 800 persons.

The Temperance Hall, Lake street, erected in 1845, will seat 480 persons. Meetings are on Friday at 8 p.m.

The market is held on Tuesday for the sale of corn, cattle, provisions, and other merchandise; there is also a general market for meat, fish and vegetables, on Saturdays. The fairs are generally large (for horses and cattle), and are held on February 5, second Tuesday in April, White-Tuesday, July 26, October 24, and the Tuesday following the 10th December. The wool fair is held on the first Friday in July, and is one of the largest in the county. The statute (pleasure) fair is held on the first Tuesday after the 11th October.

In the Market place is an elegant and well-known cross, in the Perpendicular style, with flat groined arches below, erected in the year 1330: near the top are five niches, containing statues of the Virgin and Child; a bearded figure, supposed to be Edwd.III; a bishop (possibly the bishop of the diocese for the time being); St.John the Baptist, with the Angus Dei and a book; and the figure of Christ as risen from the tomb: the whole terminates in a crocketed spire, the height being about 40 feet: in 1852 it was restored, at a cost of £350.

The Bank of Messrs. Bassett and Company, on the south side of the Market place, erected in 1866, from the designs of Mr.Waterhouse, is a building of Ancaster stone, in the Gothic style.

The Leighton Horticultural Society holds a show yearly in August.

The Gas Works of the Leighton Buzzard Gas and Coke Co. situated on the railway from Leighton Buzzard to Dunstable, were build in 1882, at a cost of £6,000; the whole covers an area of about 3 acres, and includes board room and offices.

The inhabitants are employed to some extent in the manufacture of straw plait.

The Working Men’s Club and Institute, situated in North street, was erected at the cost of Theodore Harris, esq. J.P. of the Cedars, from the designs of Mr.Reed, architect of London, and has a library of nearly 3,500 volumes, part of which was presented by His Grace the Duke of Bedford K.G. There is also a Biblical library of about 1,000 volumes. During the winter season cooked provisions are dispensed to invalids on payment of a small fee. The Institute is supported by its ordinary and honorary members, now (1890) about 550 in number, and by a small endowment. Through the generosity of Theodore Harris esq. J.P. the Insitute has been acquired by the town at less than one-third its cost. Amongst its principal subscribers for its purchase were the Duke of Bedford K.G. and the Marquess of Tavistock, who gave £500, and Leopold de Rothschild esq. £200: it is vested in trustees, and its affairs are managed by a president, treasurer, two vice-presidents, two secretaries, and a committee of 26 members (13 honorary and 13 working). Theodore Harris esq. J.P. president.

The Provident Dispensary, situated in North street, was established in 1875; it is managed by a committee, consiting of the officers of the Dispensary, the Clergy and Non-conformist Ministers resident in the Leighton union, the ex-officio and elected Guardians of the Poor, and some others.

Here is a charity, founded in 1630 by Edward Wilkes, and further endowed in 1692 by Matthew Wilkes; the income, amounting to £272 yearly, derived from land, is expended in placing out as apprentices two boys every other year, and maintaining almshouses for ten poor widows, each of whom receives 6s weekly, besides fuel and clothing: this charity is managed by a body of eight trustees; there are several other charities, the funds of which are distributed in bread and coal to the poor several times in the year.

At Grove, or Grovebury, in the parish of Leighton, there was anciently a priory of nuns, founded about 1169 by Henry II. and colonized from Fontevrault in Normandy; being confiscated during the wars with France, it was eventually granted to the dean and canons of Windsor; here was also, temp. Henry II. a house of Cistercian monks, subordinate to Woburn Abbey.

The manor belongs to Sir Edward Henry Hanmer bart. who holds courts leet and baron in Whitsun week and the last Thursday in October. The principal landowners are the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, Sir Edward Henry Hanmer bart. Edward Lawford esq. J.P. and Francis Bassett esq. J.P.

The area of the entire parish is 8,990 acres, which includes, Billington, Eggington, Heath and Reach and Stanbridge; the area of the township is 1,700 acres; rateable value, £18,749; the population in 1881 was - of the parish 8,278, including 143 officers and inmates in the workhouse, and of the township 5,991.
