3 The front portion of Aylesbury House “… appears to be about 200-250 years old, but a portion at the rear is of the Jacobean period. … Traces of fish ponds, and of more extended pleasure
grounds than now exist, may easily be recognised around the house. The present house, and its predecessor on the same site, was for centuries the home of the family named Aylesbury … The first mention of them in this locality was in 1361 …”
