Colonial Aylesbury

Colonial Aylesbury, as described in the scenario "13 Black Candles":

• Aylesbury is a somewhat secluded town in the Northern area of Connecticut. It has several outlying farms and a few wooded areas. The main part of the town has a variety of businesses and building that would be need in a Colonial Era community. There is an Episcopalian church in the town, which most everyone attends. In addition it has a fine Inn by name of the Silver Bell. This functions not only as an inn but also a tavern serving ales, wine and food from the local farms. The majority of the inhabitants of Aylesbury are farmers or craftsmen and their families.
• In October, Squire Tom Roberts gives his annual All Hallows Evening party; he has given this party every year since the end of the American Revolution, and it is a huge event in which the people from the town of Aylesbury are invited as well as family and friends from elsewhere.
• Inhabitants include Squire Roberts, farmers, manual laborers, a carpenter, a baker, a blacksmith, a silversmith, an innkeeper, an Episocopalian minister, a veteran of the American Revolution (colonel), a retired Miskatonic professor, and a doctor.
• Notable landmarks include a church and an inn, Squirell Creek [sic] (south of the town), pine woods (southwest of town on either side of the creek), a strange rock formation (in the pine woods), the Squire's large farm (south of the creek and east of the woods).
