Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LUTON , a market town and municipal borough in the southern or Luton parliamentary division of Bedfordshire, England, 30 M. N.W. by N. of London by the Midland railway, served also by a branch of the
Great
  Northern. Pop. (1901) 36,404. It lies in a narrow valley on the
south
  flank of the Chiltern Hills, on the upper part of the river Lea. The church of St Mary is mainly Decorated, but has portions of Early English and Perpendicular
work
 . It has brasses and monuments of
interest
  and a
late
  Decorated
baptistery
  of stone, an ornate roofed structure, octagonal in form. The font within it is Early English. Luton is the
principal
  seat in England of the straw-plait manufacture, and large quantities of hats and other straw goods have been exported, though in
recent
  years the industry has suffered from increased foreign competition. The industry originated with the colony of straw-plaiters transplanted by James I. from
Scotland
 , whither they had been brought from
Lorraine
  by Queen Mary. The town has also foundries, motor car works and other manufactures. The borough is under a mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 councillors. Area, 3133 acres.
