Akeley, Buckinghamshire

Akeley is a village and civil parish in north-west Buckinghamshire, England.

The village is on the A413 road, between Lillingstone Dayrell and Maids Moreton, and around 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Buckingham.

[3] The parish church of St. James the Apostle was built in Akeley in 1154.

[citation needed] It was rebuilt to designs by the Gothic Revival architect John Tarring in 1854[4] and restored in 1901.

Akeley once had a medieval deer park, and a school where poor children were taught to make lace.

The Square, Akeley – this aerial view was taken in 1996 soon after the renovation of Verendale, the thatched cottage at the centre of the picture, was completed. The brick cottage is The Old School House and the building in the foreground is The Old School. The Bull & Butcher pub in The Square is part seen far right.
