Timber-framed & older buildings

Aylesbury has quite a few older buildings and houses that are timber-framed or have wooden structural elements. For instance, in the Old Town around Market Square, Church Street, Parson’s Fee etc, there are Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian style buildings, some with timber windows and wood details. The use of timber in housing would have meant that fire, especially from chimneys, hearths, cooking, etc., was a constant risk.

Market and timber trade

The Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal was, when it opened around 1814-15, used to transport timber, coal, grain and building materials to Aylesbury. Timber was a traded commodity arriving by canal. That suggests wood played a role not just in homes, but in commerce, construction, infrastructure and possibly local crafts.

Fire incidents affecting town heritage

There are records of fire damaging buildings in Aylesbury historically. Aylesbury Town Hall was badly damaged by fire in 1962. The main hall and archway wing were particularly affected. Chimney fires have also occurred, a fire spreading from a chimney to first-floor joists in one case.

Smoke control, bonfires and legal regulation of burning

Though more modern, there have been regulations around the burning of fuels like wood, bonfires, smoke nuisances in Buckinghamshire. For example, rules on what fuel can be burned in smoke control areas, laws about causing dark smoke or nuisance. Also, use of wood that is dry or authorised appliances is encouraged or required in some districts.

Cultural / architectural importance of wood

The presence of timber windows or wooden frames in heritage buildings is still visible in Aylesbury shows wood’s continuing significance in the town’s built environment and cultural heritage. Also, old timber structures (inns, cottages) point to a time when wood was both a building material and, indirectly, a fire risk.
