Aspley Guise is a village and civil parish located in central Bedfordshire, England. It is just over the County border from Woburn Sands in the Borough of Milton Keynes and about 6 miles (9.7 km) by road to Milton Keynes Centre and 1 mile (1.6 km) to the M1 London to Yorkshire motorway junction 13. The Rookery, a secluded Victorian mansion in Church Street was used by intelligence operatives during the Second World War, for black propaganda against Germany controlled by Sefton Delmer.
It has three historic houses of note: Aspley House, Guise House and the Old House. The first was built in 1695 in the style of Christopher Wren and altered c. 1750 and again later. In the 18th century, Guise House and its grounds were home to Aspley Classical Academy, a school said to rival Eton and Harrow. The Old House is timbered and dates from 1575 with some Georgian alterations. The Village has many charming examples of early Georgian architecture. The parish church is dedicated to St Botolph.
