BEST FOOT FOR WARD: The Newport Muster is a multi-role event
s of the
historic town of Newport Pagnell.

In particular, we want to draw attention to Bury Field, an area of 180 acres of

undulating common land at the heart of the town. Established the best part
of 1000 years ago, it was originally open cultivation la
inhabitants and later to allow free grazing for cattle and the community's
general amenity .

We also want to highlight the long history and heritage of Newport Pagnell
and the town's role as an import s and then
for Cromwell's men, during the Civil Wars of the 17th century.

But above all we hope the Muster will prove a memorable and enjoyable day
for all the walkers who take p art, together with their families and friends.

Key objectives of the event are to:

Demonstrate s of Bury Field as a well-loved amenity
highlighting, for example, its enduring open-space attraction set
against today's rush for development
Raise funds for worthy causes, and especially those in the town
Provide an opportunity to improve personal health and exercise
Attract visitors to the town, enhancing its trade and reputation
Broaden general education and knowledge of local history
Enrich pride in the community and foster greater involvement
