The Southcourt estate was built by the local council between the 1920s and 1950s and is epitomised by the wide spaces between the houses and by areas of public greens. This is the community shopping parade in Hampden Gardens, named after Sir John Hampden, a Parliamentary politician closely associated with Aylesbury who died as a result of wounds received during a Civil War battle in 1643.
