More about Stony Stratford Milton Keynes
Stony Stratford (sometimes shortened to Stony) is a
town in the north-west corner of Milton Keynes, England.
It is located on the border with Northamptonshire, on
the other side of the Great Ouse. Prior to the
designation of the new city in the 1960s, the town was
in Wolverton Urban District, north Buckinghamshire.
The town name 'Stratford' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and
means 'ford on a Roman road'. The Roman road in this
sense is the Watling Street that runs through the middle
of the town. The ford is the crossing of the river Ouse.
The prefix 'Stony' refers to the stones on the bed of
the ford, differentiating the town from nearby Fenny
Stratford.
There has been a market in Stony Stratford since 1194
(by charter of King Richard I).
Stony Stratford was the location where, in 1290, an
Eleanor cross was built in memory of the recently
deceased Eleanor of Castile. The cross was destroyed
during the English Civil War.
The Rose and Crown Inn at Stony Stratford was reputedly
the last place where King Edward V and his younger
brother Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York were
seen alive in public. It was here in 1483 that his uncle
Richard, Duke of Gloucester met them to become their
legal guardian before taking them to the London to
become the "Princes in the Tower".
The town has twice become almost completely consumed by
fire, the first time in 1736 and the second in 1742. The
only building to escape the second fire was the tower of
the chapel of ease1 of St Mary Magdalen.
In the stage coach era, Stony Stratford was a major
resting place and exchange point with the east/west
route. In the early 1800s, as many as 250 coaches a day
stopped here. That traffic came to an abrupt end in 1838
when the London - Birmingham Railway (now the West Coast
Main Line) was opened at Wolverton. For the rest of that
century, Stony was in decline until the arrival of the
motor car, when again its position on the A5 road made
it an important stopping point.
Today Stony Stratford is a busy market town on the
periphery of Milton Keynes, and is considered by many to
be quite picturesque. The many pubs, restaurants and
specialist st shops attract visitors from some distance.
The highlight of the annual calendar is in early June
(second Sunday) when Folk on the Green, a free
(voluntary contribution) festival of folk music, folk
rock and eclectic taste takes over the Horsefair Green.
