The Danish Vikings conquered the North of England and attacked southern England many times. King Edward, son of Alfred the Great, came to Buckingham about 915 and built a fort on Castle Hill. There was also a short lived wooden castle erected in 1215 and torn down again after about 30 years. This site is now covered by the Parish Church. The foundation stone for the new church was laid by Robert Bartlett, bailiff of Buckingham, on 25 November 1777.
