By the time you read this (three weeks after I write it) many of you will be ready for your holidays. I hope you all have a great time, wherever you are going, and that you have better weather than we have had so far through this damp summer – record breaking though not in quite the way we thought! This unusual weather leads to more debate about global warming – Is it or isn’t it happening? And if it is happening, are we to blame for it? As I write, the multi‐continental “Live Earth” concerts, telling us we must all save the Earth by using less, have just finished and the Silverstone F1 race, not really about fuel efficiency, is about to start. Both attract equal headlines; we do live in a strange world! For myself, I take the view that we all have a duty to care for our world and pass it on to future generations in good condition. I am not sure we are doing very well at this. Of course one of the attractions of Silverstone is that, at last, we have an English hero. But let us not forget we also have a Bugbrooke heroine. Hollie Avil is European Triathlon Champion and you can read all about her remarkable achievements through the Bugbrooke Link web site The web site www.bugbrookelink.co.uk, continues to grow in popularity month by month with 600 visits in June. We will publicise all coming village events on the web site so do let us know of them. Also the offer is still open for all village organisations to take an area on the website to publicise their activities, as an increasing number are already doing. The deadline for articles for the next issue is Monday, 3 September. If possible we would like you to submit articles by e‐mail and our new e‐mail address is [email protected] You may also post articles through the door of our editor, Paul Cockcroft or to any member of the Link management committee. Parish Council Since my last report we have had elections at both District and Parish level. Previously we had two District Councillors covering Bugbrooke and Gayton but we have had a change of boundaries which meant we now have two Councillors covering Bugbrooke and Nether Heyford. For the election there Front page Harriet Spittles being crowned5 Rose Queen at the Bugbrooke Summer Fete. were four candidates seeking election for the two positions. Those elected were John Curtis from Bugbrooke and Graham Smith from Nether Heyford who will serve for four years. This meant unfortunately that David Harries who previously represented Bugbrooke was not re‐elected. David has served Bugbrooke very successfully in the past achieving a great deal for the village and it is a great pity that he no longer represents us. After more than 20 years as a member of the council Dr Dutta decided not to seek re‐election and 14 candidates stood for the election so all were elected unopposed. My fellow councillors and I would like to thank Dr Dutta for his many years of contributions on a wide range of matters. Dr Shribman continued the medical theme by seeking election and the final place on the Council has been filled by John Scoble and I welcome both of our new members to the Council. There has been a spate of vandalism around the village involving the street lights. One or more people have been climbing lamp posts and removing the sensor from the lamp top which renders the light inoperative. This has meant we have had to replace these sensors at some cost as well as having the poles painted near the top with anti‐climb paint. If anybody has any information about who might be responsible for this vandalism I would encourage them to contact the Police direct or phone the Parish Office. This vandalism is not only costly but makes the village unsafe during the hours of darkness and needs to be stopped. Phil Bignell – Chairman Information on the Parish Council, and minutes of Parish Council meetings, are available to read at www.bugbrookelink.co.uk/parishcouncil. Peace of Mind While You’re Away on Holiday Everyone needs a holiday some time. And however much we like our homes, there is nothing like a change of scenery. But we all want to come home and find everything as we left it. Almost half of all burglaries happen when a flat or house is empty. By following these tips, you can help to make your home more secure while you are away. Tick off the items before you go. Before you go:– • Make your home look like someone is living in it. Don’t close your curtains – in daytime this shows the house is empty. Use automatic timer‐switches to turn your lights on when it goes dark. • Cancel any milk or newspaper deliveries. • Avoid discussing holiday plans7 where strangers may hear details of your absence from home. 01604 832483 Steve & Leah would like to welcome you to the New Look Five Bells Open All Day Every Day Great Food Served Mon-Thu 12.00-14.30 18.00-21.30 Fri-Sat-Sun All Day Until 21.30 Why not try one of our Great Steaks from the Flame Grill!!!

The Royal Mail’s ‘Keepsafe’ service will keep your mail for up to two months while you are away. • Consider leaving important documents and valuable items with other family members or a bank, or lock them in a safe. • Do not put your home address on your luggage when you are travelling to your holiday destination. • If you normally leave valuable pedal cycles or similar items in your shed, consider putting them in the house – out of sight. • Finally, make sure that you’ve locked all outside doors and windows and, if you have a burglar alarm, make sure it is set. Don’t forget your passport and tickets! Help from your neighbours It’s a good idea to get help from your neighbours. You could ask them to collect post, open and close the curtains, mow the lawn.

Around Pattishall March - April 2010 Poppy Appeal A huge thank you to everyone who contributed in any way this year to raise the total of £1,520.03. Paula Stratton Cold Higham Update A number of people in the parish have raised the issue of dog fouling with the Parish Council. In particular fouling in the cemetery in Cold Higham has caused distress to some residents when visiting the graves of family and other loved ones. The Parish Council requests that people keep their dogs out of the cemetery whenever possible but recognises that a few residents would have a legitimate reason to take their dogs with them when visiting a grave or memorial. However, we would expect that everyone cleans up after their dog whenever fouling occurs. Fouling is distressing and antisocial in the cemetery but can have serious effects if it takes place where farm animals are present, for example when taking dogs through fields of livestock.

Our fundraising began with a grant from Councillor Ben Smith through the Northants County Council Councillors Empowerment Fund; this was generously added to with contributions from Pattishall Parish Council, a charitable business donation from Mark and Kate Mitton’s company PWC and an anonymous donation. We were also very lucky that Johnny Smith of AJ Design and Build put us in touch with his contact at Jewson who donated our paving slabs, and Paul Leeson was able to borrow a digger and other specialist equipment from Whiting Landscapes. Added to that, our families and staff generously donated their time providing free labour.

  • The Open Fields of Northampton
    Chapter 8 Estates Estates can be studied at a variety oflevels, from the smallest entity, the yardland, to the large holdings of powerful magnates and monasteries. It is necessary to distinguish between the fundamental agrarian units of the yardland and township, and the 'political' possessions oflords and others, which included whole and parts of townships. Estates of the church, parishes, cause complications when they do not coincide exactly with one or more townships; some examples are given below. Furlong patterns and field-system spatial layout, as recorded in fieldbooks, offer much information about townships and estates. The examples given below illustrate what can be discovered and show that many places are much more complex than they appear. Townships revealed by Inorphology Some township boundaries can be determined from the pattern offurlongs alone, there being discontinuities either side of a smooth line, indicating that the line acted as a constraint when furlongs were laid out, and therefore must predate them. Such an example is the eastern part of the township boundary of the three deserted vills of Cotton, now in the parishes of Raunds and Ringstead 1• The complex furlong arrange­ ments in both Ringstead and Raunds become much simpler near a slade that separates the modem parishes. This is likely to be the township boundary of a field system belonging to the Cottons, once members of a medieval estate called the Gloucester Fee. The remainder of the boundary cannot be distinguished from the physical form ~f the furlongs alone because of the simple field pattern on the Nene Valley slopes.
