Swing Riots
In 1830, during a debate on the Swing Riots, a scene of public disorder broke out when the councillors started fighting with each other. The council was incorporated under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, and council meetings of the municipal borough of High Wycombe were still held in the guildhall into the late 1920s and it was not until the early 1930s that council meetings moved to the council chamber in the municipal offices in Queen Victoria Road.
