History of Winslow
The 1841 census reveals the population that year was 1,333. Winslow Hall sits on the main road leading into the town from Aylesbury. It was built possibly from the designs of Sir Christopher Wren by William Lowndes, secretary to the Treasury. His name and the date 1700 can be seen on the frieze over the door. The Anglican parish church in High Street, dating from about 1320 is dedicated to St. Laurence (St Laurence’s Church, Winslow), and is twinned with St Paul’s Church in Winslow, Arizona. The church has a ring of 8 bells, the heaviest weighing 19 long cwt (970 kg). The half-timbered Bell Hotel was first recorded in the late 16th century and soon became the main hostelry in the town.
