Buckingham Castle

Buckingham Castle

Buckingham Castle was situated in the town of Buckingham, the former county town of Buckinghamshire, on the north side of the River Ouse (gbmapping|SP695337).

The castle was first mentioned in documentary sources in 1154-64 and was possibly demolished 1208-1215. It was possibly held by the Giffard family. It was levelled in 1777 for the churchyard which now occupies the site.
