The Aylesbury Centre is a voluntary association of National Trust members founded in 1974 to promote and prosper the work of the National Trust. We also aim to provide social activities which add value to Trust membership.

The 300 or so members live in Aylesbury Vale and beyond, with some members coming from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Oxfordshire.

We take a keen interest in the smaller properties in the Aylesbury Vale, including the King’s Head, and we particularly support Claydon House at Middle Claydon, near Buckingham. Some of our members are room stewards at Claydon. Associated with this we have recently produced a booklet on Florence Nightingale, aimed specifically at children but also of interest to adults. We also celebrated our Silver Jubilee, and recent 30th anniversary, with very enjoyable evening entertainments at the property. Our President, John Bly, takes an active interest in the Centre.
