Hotel Heritage & History

Dating back to 1577, the historical Villiers Hotel was the main Coaching Inn of Buckingham in the days of Cromwell and is designed around the cobbled courtyard that once stabled 150 horses. The oldest part of the building has retained many of the original features of the old Swan and Castle Inn with low ceilings and stone built walls. Local legend maintains that Oliver Cromwell billeted his troops in the cockloft of the Swan and Castle Inn during the Civil War when Buckingham was vulnerable to attacks from both London and Oxford in 1643.

The town of Buckingham dates back as early as 914 when it played an important military role against the Danes at a time when it was vital for all Southern towns to fortify themselves against invasion - Buckingham was created with this fortification. By the time of the Norman Conquest, Buckingham had become a royal borough and was passed through many royal hands, reinforcing its royal status. Today Buckingham is characterised by a fine array of Georgian buildings, each with their own fascinating story to tell. It is a bustling market town full of history.
