Aldbury

"About two miles and a half E.N.E. from Tring, in the same hundred (Dacorum), is the village of Aldbury, pleasantly situated, in the parish of its name, at the foot of the Chiltern hills, the summits of which are covered with thick plantations. Near the village is a lofty stone monument to the noble father of inland navigation, the Duke of Bridgewater. The church, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, is an ancient edifice, containing some interesting monumental brasses, and an altar tomb of an armed knight and his lady: the benefice is a rectory, in the patronage of the trustees of the late Earl of Bridgewater; the present incumbent is the Rev. James Galloway. Population of the parish, 457."
