Admin/biog history
The Leighton Buzzard and District Preservation Society was formed in 1965 when local members of the South Bedfordshire Society created a group to focus on the towns of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade and the surrounding villages. In 2001, it was decided that the Society should be known simply as “The Leighton Buzzard Society”. The word ‘preservation’ was thought to give too restricted an impression, as the Society had always supported good developments and improvements, and not just strived to keep everything as it was. Although for brevity the name no longer contains ‘and District’, the Society still covers the surrounding villages.
