Reseña del editor:

Newport Pagneli, situate in the Three Hundreds of Newport and in the Northern part of the County of Buckingham, will perhaps not see anything which will specially impress upon him the fact that it is a place with historic associations. But to those who know something of the Metropolis of North Bucks, as the town is sometimes called, or are interested in the years that are gone, the aspect is different. To such the names of Tickford Street and Priory Street are suggestions of the old time Priory ;S t. John s Street reminds them of the existence of the Hospital by the bridge, formerly dedicated to Saints John the Baptist and Evangelist, now called Queen A nn s; the Castle Meadow recalls the memories of feudal lords and their strongholds; the numerous Inns can almost be claimed as evidence of the large old time coaching importance of the town; the mounds which not so very many years since were to be seen in the still open common, Bury Field, were forcible reminders of the fortifications of the Civil War ;the rivers even are indicative of the need for bridges and suggest that those aids to civilization have a history of their own ;while the stately Church, with its beautiful churchyard stretching down to the Lovat, assists them in picturing for themselves the old time town. It is with the hope, therefore, of interesting those who are thus receptive that this volume has been compiled. During a period of more than twelve years the collection of material has been gradually made from public, local, and private records, and although it is not by any means claimed that the result is exhaustive, very much fresh information, some inaccessible till lately, has come to light, and many items already made public by the Histories of Mr. Joseph Staines, Mr. Joseph Simpson, and others, have been amplified.
