	Newport Pagnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newport Pagnell is a town in the traditional county of Buckinghamshire, England and in the modern Borough of Milton Keynes.
		At one time Newport Pagnell was one of the largest towns in the County of Buckinghamshire (the assizes of the County were occasionally held here) though today, despite its own substantial expansion, it has been completely dwarfed by the growth of Milton Keynes.
		Nigel Benson, the author, was born in Newport Pagnell in 1955 to Ralph and Heather (nee Petts).

		A committee of the House of Commons, appointed in 1885 to inquire into the housing of the working classes, reported strongly in favour of allotments, and this was followed in 1887 by the Allotments Act—the first measure in which the principle of compulsory acquisition was admitted in regard to other than charity lands.
		From a return presented by the Local Government Board to parliament in 1896 we learn that eighty-three rural sanitary authorities had acquired lama for allotment prior to the 28th of December 1894, the date at which these authorities ceased to exist under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1894.
		The object of this measure was to help the deserving labouring man to acquire a small holding, that is to say, a portion of land not less than one acre or more than fifty acres in extent and of an annual value not exceeding f 5o.
