AILESbury, Aylesbury, or Alesbury, a borough town in Buckinghamshire, consisting of about 400 houses. It consists of several streets, though the houses are not very contiguous: these lie round about the market place, in the middle of which is a convenient hall, where the sessions are held, and sometimes the assizes for the county. It sends two members to parliament; has a market on Saturdays; and three fairs for cattle, viz. on the Saturday before Palm-sunday, June 14th, and September 25th. It is sixty miles south-east of Buckingham and forty-four north-west
of London. W. Long. 0. 40. N. Lat. 51. 40.
