1903 Kelly's Trade Directory - LEIGHTON BUZZARD

LEIGHTON BUZZARD is a union town and parish, extending to the Bucks border and on the road from Dunstable to Aylesbury; it is the head of a county court district and petty sessional division, with a station on the London and North Western railway, 40.5 miles from London, 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, archdeaconry of Bedford and diocese of Ely. The railway station is in the adjoining parish of Linslade (Bucks), but close to 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 "Bossard," the name of an ancient family, one of whom was knight of the shire in the reign of Edward III. It has further been conjectured that Leighton is the place called in the "Saxon Chronicle" "Lygoean Burgh," and which in 571 was captured 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 smaller streets, branching off at the Market place, and is well paved, lighted with gas by a company, from works near the railway, and supplied with water from works in the Stanbridge road, the property of the Urban District Council, the water being obtained from a well, whence it is pumped into a tank capable of holding 80,500 gallons, placed in a tower 110 feet high, and thence conveyed to the town. The town is drained partly on the Shone system, and by gravitation.

The town was formerly governed by a Local Board, created by Local Government Board Order No. 27,128, which came into operation July 8th, 1891, but under the provisions of the "Local Government Act, 1894" (56 & 57 Vict. cap.73), an Urban District Council has been formed consisting of 12 members.

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 a padlock attached; the western door is ornamented with wrought iron-work, the work of John de Leighton; the font, an early example, has a 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 Jackman, 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 1842 and 1852, and again in 1885-6, at a cost of over £3,000, and was re-opened July 10th, 1886; in 1893 the spire was re-pointed, the vane repaired and new lightning conductor erected. The register dates from the year 1562, and includes the early registers of Billington, Eggington, Heath and Reach, and some part of Stanbridge. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £220, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Ely, and held since 1901 by the Rev. George Frederick Hills M.A. of Trinity College, Dublin, and surrogate.

The church of St. Andrew, erected in 1866-7 as a chapel of ease, 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 seat 600 persons.

There is a Catholic church in Beaudesert. dedicated to the Sacred Heart.

The Baptist chapel in Hockliffe street, was erected in 1892 at a cost of £4,000 and affords 700 sittings. The Primitive Methodist chapel in North street, an edifice of brick and stone in the Gothic style, was built in 1890 at a cost of £2,342,
and will seat 500. The Wesleyan chapel in Hockliffe street, erected in 1864 at a cost of £5,000, has 1,500 sittings and two stained windows, one of which and six tablets are memorials to former ministers; there is another Baptist chapel in Lake street, founded in 1775, and a meeting house, with cemetery attached, for the Society of Friends.

A Cemetery of 8 acres, 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, which stands near the centre of the Market place, and was 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, and is surmounted with a small tower containing a striking clock with three dials; the County Court is held here monthly..

The Corn Exchange, in the Corn Market, 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 & Hardy, of Lincoln: in the centre is an open tower, projecting over the pavement, the lower storey of which is arched, and the upper one has carved caryatides, supporting a deep frieze and a bold modillion cornice, over which a beautifully proportioned octangular turret rises to the height of about 85 feet: the assembly room, entered from a spacious landing, is capable of seating 300 persons, and attached are retiring rooms; the Exchange Hall will seat nearly 800 persons.

The Temperance Hall, Lake street, erected in 1845, seats 300 persons. Meetings are held here on Fridays at 8 p.m.

A market is held on Tuesday for the sale of corn, cattle, provisions and other merchandise, and there is also a general market for meat, fish and vegetables, on Saturdays. The fairs for horses and cattle are generally large, and are held on February 5, the second Tuesday in April, White-Tuesday, July 26, October 24, and the Tuesday following the 10th of 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 of October.

In the Market place is an elegant and well-known cross, 38 feet high, 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 Edward III.; a bishop (possibly the bishop of the diocese for the time being); St. John the Baptist, with the Agnus Dei and a book; and the figure of Christ as risen from the tomb: the whole terminates in a crocketed spire: it was restored in 1852, at a cost of £350.

The bank of Messrs. Bassett and Company, now incorporated with Barclay and Company Limited, is on the south side of the Market place; it was erected in 1866, from the designs of Mr. A. Waterhouse, R.A. and is a building of Ancaster stone in the Gothic style.

In High street is a branch of the London and County Banking Company Limited.

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

The Working Men's Club and Institute, in North street, has a library of nearly 3,000 volumes, part of which was presented by the late 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 has now (1903) about 350 members.

The Provident Dispensary, in North street, was established in 1875 by the late Rev. Peter Overy M.A. a former vicar of Wing, and is managed by a committee. There were in 1902 about 1,275 members.

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 received 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 J.T. Mills esq. of Husbands Bosworth, Rugby, who holds courts leet and baron in Whitsun week and the last Thursday in October. The principal landowners are the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and J.T. Mills esq.

The area is 2,411 acres of land and 15 of water; rateable value, £27,104; the population in 1901 was 6,331, including 17 officers and 144 inmates of the workhouse.
