Leyton Buzzard

Leyton Buzzard

Leighton Buzzard is a town in Bedfordshire, England near the Chiltern Hills and lying between Luton and Milton Keynes. It adjoins Linslade and the name Leighton Buzzard is sometimes used to refer to the combination of the two towns; parts of this article also apply to Linslade as well as Leedon.For local government purposes, the town is part of the Central Bedfordshire district and is administered jointly with Linslade as the civil parish of Leighton-Linslade.HistoryThere are a number of theories concerning the derivation of the town's name, but the most likely is that "Leighton" came from Old English language Lēah-tūn, meaning 'farm in a clearing in the woods'. The "Buzzard" was added by the Dean of Lincoln, in whose diocese the town lay in the 12th century. Having two communities called "Leighton" and seeking some means of differentiating them, he added the name of his local Prebendary or representative to that of the town. At that time it was a Theobald de Busar and so over the years the town became known as Leighton Buzzard. The other Leighton became Leighton Bromswold.Leighton Buzzard is also famous as the Grand Union Canal was opened there. More recently, Leighton Buzzard station was the location for part of the film Robbery, based on the so-called "Great Train Robbery" (1963), while the actual robbery took place just outside of the town, at Bridego bridge, Ledburn. In the Domesday Book, Leighton Buzzard and Linslade were both called Leestone.

We believe businesses deserve an accountant that takes the time to understand what you do, how you do it and can communicate accounting terminology without confusing you! After all, the more we understand your business the more we can tailor the accounting and business advice you receive. An open line of communication (without additional cost) is also essential to encourage successful, proactive, and timely tax planning. We see ourselves as your financial partner, there when you need to discuss an idea, concept, key business decision, or simply chat through what’s happening in your business right now. Although we are qualified accountants, we like to think we are not your stereotypical (boring) accountants, rather business people who are very good with financial information. We love technology, so we utilise the latest technology to provide a seamless service whilst maximising efficiency.
