Buckinghamshire – Home to the famous “Concrete Cows”
Although the County has existed since the 6th century, the name Buckinghamshire appeared much later (12th century), named after an Anglo-Saxon landowner. However, the region’s history began much earlier, dating back to the Celtic and Roman periods.
It is believed that the English Civil War was started in the 17th century by John Hampden in the County, who was an English politician with a long history in Buckinghamshire.
Like many of the counties surrounding London, Buckinghamshire became popular for commuters and still is some 200 years later.
Milton Keynes is a new town in the county (formally receiving this title in 1967) and despite criticism of the number of ‘roundabouts’ to be found there, it was cleverly designed and well liked by those living there. The town is perhaps more famous for the “Concrete Cows” sculpture that was placed in a park there (three cows and three calves) and they have been subjected to a number of pranks over the years. One received pyjama bottoms and on another occasion a calf was ‘kidnapped’ and ransom notes sent to the local newspapers.
