Newport Pagnell is a town in the traditional county of Buckinghamshire, England and in the modern Borough of Milton Keynes. It is situated on the northern side of the M1 motorway from Milton Keynes itself.

History

---

The town was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Neuport, which is Old English meaning New Market Town. At that time it was fairly new, having been founded by Norman invaders. The suffix "Pagnell" came later, when the manor passed into the hands of the Pagnell (Paynel) family.

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. The two have joined up on either side of the M1 and there is little distinction between them. There were also at one time two hospitals in Newport Pagnell and six fairs were held for the townsfolk throughout the year.
