Aspley Guise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aspley Guise (SP 943 361) is a village in Mid-Bedfordshire, England. It is just over the county border from Woburn Sands in the Borough of Milton Keynes.
Aspley Guise is notable as the location of The Rookery, a secluded Victorian mansion which was used by intelligence operatives during the Second World War.
It has two historic houses of note - Aspley House and Guise House. The former was built in 1695 in the style of Christopher Wren and altered circa 1750 and again later.
The village has many charming examples of early Georgian architecture and a dramatically landscaped graveyard which resembles a sheer cliff covered in grass. The Parish Church is dedicated to St Botolph.
The village is served by Aspley Guise railway station, a small station on the Marston Vale Line.
