The Kings Head, Aylesbury
Details of The Kings Head in Aylesbury owned by the National Trust since 1925. Its history dates back to 1455 when it was a private house built by the Verney family. There are many features which the National Trust plans to restore including the wattle and daub walls, twenty lights window possibly present from the dissolution of the monastery in Tudor times, and the Act of Parliament Clock. By 1620 the building had become a coaching inn. By the mid nineteenth century it had become a haunted hotel with its own secret Priests Hole. It was then a post office the first in Aylesbury. Now there are guided tours.
