a market-town of England, county of Buckingham, is situated near the confluence of the Ouse and Ousel, 48 miles N.N.W. of London. The latter river divides the town into two parts, and is crossed by an iron bridge, built in 1810. The parish church is a large ancient building, with a square tower and pinnacles. There are also Baptist, Independent, and Methodist churches; several schools; almshouses; a circulating library; and a savings-bank. The only manufacture here is that of lace, and even that is not so largely carried on as formerly; but there is some trade in corn, coal, and timber. Pop. (1851) 3312.
