Newport Pagnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (442 words)
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).
