The ground fl oor accommodation comprises a light and airy sitting room and separate dining room, downstairs cloakroom, entrance hall, study and utility room.

The gardens and grounds surround the property and incorporate a pathway which leads to the rear of the property and to a delightful curved sun terrace which commands stunning views over the gardens. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is framed by fl ower and herbaceous borders and enclosed with mature hedging. A separate and substantial vegetable garden is also enclosed with mature hedging and an attractive stone wall. The stunning gardens and grounds which measure approximately 0.72 of an acre are so quintessential and complement the beautiful detached house. There are a number of outbuildings within the grounds, but of particular note is the old granary which still sits proudly on the staddle stones.

    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society.

This is an area of great natural beauty which attracts visitors and walkers from the surrounding areas. The churches have, in many ways, drawn closer together during the period of lockdown. The Associate Minister and a lay leader have led a weekly service of compline as well as signposting to other online services. The many who participated from across the benefice have begun to get to know each other better – a positive sign for the future of the benefice. The PCCs have engaged positively with deanery and diocesan advisers during the vacancy and have been open to exploring a more sustainable model of ministry for the future of the benefice. As you will see from the profile, they have identified a number of significant strengths, including their relationship with local schools and the level of support for the churches from within the village communities.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd Nature of the Evidence the S
    Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd Nature of the evidence The Sites and Monuments Records for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes attributes 1622 records (monuments and find spots) to the Iron Age and a further 144 records to the Middle or Late Bronze Age representing about 9.4% of total SMR records. Also, many formally undated cropmark sites probably actually date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age. In addition evidence for the survival of putatively prehistoric landscapes into modern times needs to be considered (see landscape section). Later prehistoric sites have been recognised in Buckinghamshire since the 19th century with useful summaries of the state of knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth century being provided by the Royal Commission for Historical Monuments and Victoria County History. Essentially knowledge was restricted to a few prominent earthwork monuments and a handful of distinctive finds, mostly from the Chilterns and Thames (Clinch, 1905; RCHME, 1912 & 1913). By 1955 Jack Head was able to identify a concentration of Iron Age hillforts, settlement sites and finds along the Chiltern scarp along with a few sites (mainly hillforts) on the dipslope and a scattering of sites along the Thames. A few of these sites, notably Bulstrode and Cholesbury Camps and an apparently open settlement on Lodge Hill, Saunderton had been investigated by trial trenching (Head, 1955, 62-78). By 1979 it was possible to draw upon a wider range of evidence including modern excavations, aerial photography and environmental archaeology referring to sites in the Ouse valley as well as the Chilterns, open settlements as well as hillforts and evidence for extensive open grassland environments from the Bronze Age onwards (Reed, 1979, 35-41).

  • ICKFORD INFORMER July 2016
    ICKFORD INFORMER July 2016 Ickford Village website https://ickfordcommunity.wordpress.com An update on the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan Following last year's Issues and Options Consultation, Aylesbury Vale have now released a new draft plan ready for the next stage of public consultation starting on 7th July. During the previous consultation, Ickford Parish Council objected to Ickford's classification as a 'larger village'. In the new draft plan, a new 'medium village' category has been made, and Ickford has been downgraded from a 'larger village' to a 'medium village'. In addition to this, rather than a set number of homes being allocated (100-120 in the previous draft plan), villages in the medium category will be allocated a housing growth of 19%, equating to 55 homes for Ickford. A series of consultation events will be held over the summer, where you can view the plans in detail and ask questions of officers. The nearest will be held at Haddenham Village Hall Social Centre on Monday 11th July from 11am to 8pm. Otherwise, full details of the plan and how to comment will be available on the AVDC website from 7th July. Please visit http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/vale-aylesbury-local- plan-draft-plan for more information. Ickford Parish Council We are seeking a local resident to take on the role of Village Custodian for Ickford – this is a paid position & typically requires a commitment of 2-3 hours per week. The role is key to the upkeep, maintenance & smooth running of our village.

    Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd June 2007 Nature of the evidence The Sites and Monuments Records for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes attributes 1622 records (monuments and find spots) to the Iron Age and a further 144 records to the Middle or Late Bronze Age representing about 9.4% of total SMR records. Also, many formally undated cropmark sites probably actually date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age. In addition evidence for the survival of putatively prehistoric landscapes into modern times needs to be considered (see landscape section). Later prehistoric sites have been recognised in Buckinghamshire since the 19 th century with useful summaries of the state of knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth century being provided by the Royal Commission for Historical Monuments and Victoria County History. Essentially knowledge was restricted to a few prominent earthwork monuments and a handful of distinctive finds, mostly from the Chilterns and Thames (Clinch, 1905; RCHME, 1912 & 1913). By 1955 Jack Head was able to identify a concentration of Iron Age hillforts, settlement sites and finds along the Chiltern scarp along with a few sites (mainly hillforts) on the dipslope and a scattering of sites along the Thames. A few of these sites, notably Bulstrode and Cholesbury Camps and an apparently open settlement on Lodge Hill, Saunderton had been investigated by trial trenching (Head, 1955, 62-78). By 1979 it was possible to draw upon a wider range of evidence including modern excavations, aerial photography and environmental archaeology referring to sites in the Ouse valley as well as the Chilterns, open settlements as well as hillforts and evidence for extensive open grassland environments from the Bronze Age onwards (Reed, 1979, 35-41).
