Linslade is first recorded as an Anglo Saxon settlement and appeared in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 966 as Hlincgelad, then in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Lincelada. The settlements first recorded owner in 975 was Azelina Ralph Tailbois wife, this settlement was where the present-day Old Linslade sits. The manor was taken over by the de Beauchamps family after the Norman Conquest of 1066. During the 1200s the town was famous for its Holy Well or spring which was located in the north of the village and it was a site of major pilgrimage. It was due to the presence of the well, that in 1251 a royal charter was granted for William de Beauchamp to hold a weekly market and a yearly 8-day fair. Oliver Sutton, Bishop of Lincoln warned many pilgrims off, threatening those who did not stop visiting the well, with excommunication, it was his belief that the well was unconsecrated and that the miracles that people attested to happen were fraudulent. Gradually, without the many pilgrims visiting the well the importance of Linslade diminished.
At the beginning of the 19th century a second settlement known as Chelsea New Town began to grow, south of the original Linslade, located on the Buckinghamshire side of the crossing and into the town of Leighton Buzzard. At that time the population stood at 203, but with the arrival of the Grand Union Canal and the London and North Western Railway, the town saw a rapid growth in its population and by 1840 the population stood at 869. The growth of Linslade continued over the decades and by the end of the 1960s many major housing estates had been completed and by the end of the 1970s, the town had doubled in size. In order to protect the remaining countryside that surrounds Linslade, expansion in the area has been restrained by Green Belt restrictions.
Today, Linslade has spread over into Leighton Buzzard and as a result it is questionable as to whether it is a town in its own right and many locals of Linslade, referring to the town centre would actually be referring to Leighton-Buzzard High Street.
