There seem to be two explanations as to why this row of picturesque thatched cottages on Tring Road are known as the Anne Boleyn Cottages. One is that they were a wedding gift to Anne from her husband Henry VIII. Wikipedia puts forward a more prosaic theory, that they were so-named because her father held the Manor of Aylesbury which included a part of the town - ownership of which passed to Anne.
