  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    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. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • Bucks Soldiers
    Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies Bucks Soldiers The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies (CBS) holds a wide collection of records detailing the service of the county’s people in arms. Predominantly, the units raised here have been irregulars, comprised of volunteers rather than professional soldiers. Good general introductions to the subject can be found in Ian Beckett’s ‘Call to Arms’ and Maj Gen. Swann’s ‘Citizen Soldiers of Buckinghamshire’, both available in the Local Studies Library amongst other books on local military matters. This research guide starts with an outline guide to records from different periods then moves on to list specific records relating to individual regiments. It highlights those records in which individual soldiers or their families are named. Many military records are held by the National Archives, particularly for the regular army, so it is always worth trying there. Medieval and Early Modern Records Until 1558, armed service was a feudal obligation for many of the county’s people. The upper classes would be called upon to supply a certain number of troops from the lower class tenancy. No records listing the names of soldiers on any medieval campaign are held at CBS. In the early modern period there is only a list of men 'as are pressed' for the Flushing campaign in 1624 (ref: D-X 397/2). The Buckinghamshire Record Society have also published a transcript of the 1522 Certificate of Musters. This volume records the wealth of every man over 16, purportedly to assess their contribution for the provision of harness in the event of a muster.

  • Lipscomb and His History of Bucks G
    LIPSCOMB AND HIS HISTORY OF BUCKS G. H. WYATT INTRODUCTION Although Dr. George Lipscomb is well known to the members of this Society as historian of the County, little has been published about his History and Antiquities of the County of Buckingham (1831-1847). It is not the purpose of this article to review the material presented by Lipscomb, but rather to draw attention to features of its bibliography and related matters. However, a long time has elapsed since anything has been written about the author, so a brief resume of the literature may be permitted by way of introduction. The RECORDS contain a 'life' by Robert Gibbs14, which is largely repeated in that author's Worthies of Buckinghamshire15a, and an article on Lipscomb is in the Dictionary of National Biography17. All this writing is based upon the informative obituary notice in the Gentleman's Magazinen. This Society also reported21 on the dedication in 1929 by the Bishop of Buckingham of a memorial to Lipscomb, quoting an address by Coningsby Disraeli. In 1946 tribute was paid to Lipscomb at Quainton on the hundredth anniversary of his death22. The pedigree on page 273 is drawn up from material in these sources. The History was completed in 1847 and preceded the first issue of this Society's RECORDS, volume 1 of which is dated 1858, and the first item in which, after the preface, refers to 1854. There was, therefore, no occasion for the Society to notice the publication of the History officially: its first mention in the RECORDS12 appears to be in volume 1, where "a curious contradiction" by Lipscomb is noted.

  • Early Medieval Buckinghamshire
    Early Medieval Buckinghamshire Michael Farley, February 2008 1. Introduction Nature of the evidence: history of research: role of material culture This survey covers most of historic Buckinghamshire, which is now served by the Sites and Monuments Record of the County Council and Milton Keynes Council. It does not cover a few, largely Thameside, parishes formerly within the county but now within Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The County Museum service covers the whole of the modern administrative area of Buckinghamshire. Buckinghamshire, probably a creation of the tenth century, has always been more of an administrative convenience than a natural entity. Buckingham, the original county town, lost its position to Aylesbury in the medieval period, the latter gaining its position largely due to its county-centred location rather than to any particular commercial advantage. Although Buckinghamshire has been fortunate in having one of the earliest county archaeological societies (founded in 1847) also early Victoria County History volumes, which included a review of Saxon remains by Reginald Smith (1905) and early Royal Commission inventory volumes (1912 and 1913), it has only produced a handful of antiquaries such as Browne Willis (1755) and Langley (1797) with any strong interest in its physical remains. Nor did the county produce an early group of excavators. The only significant piece of work relevant to the early medieval period, albeit of lasting national importance, was the investigation of the Taplow barrow in 1883 (Smith 1905). This excavation resulted in the most significant discovery of its kind prior to Sutton Hoo, and figured, for instance, in consecutive issues of the Illustrated London News .

  • Coleshill & the Settlements of the Chilterns
    COLESHILL & THE SETTLEMENTS OF THE CHILTERNS JOHN CHENEVIX-TRENCH The efforts of tidy-minded legislators have removed from the map nearly all those anomalies which showed themselves in small enclaves of one county surrounded by the territory of another. At one time they were numerous all over England, and South Bucks had two of them: Ackhampton, which was part of Oxfordshire, and Coleshill, a hamlet of Amersham, which until 1844' was a detached part of Hertfordshire. In this article I discuss the origin of the Coleshill anomaly, and arrive at conclusions which shed light on a much larger subject—the colonisation of the Chilterns. The question "Why was Coleshill part of Hertfordshire?" is often asked as though it were a matter of a hamlet being taken away from one county—Bucks —and given to another; so perhaps it should be said at once that there is no evidence for any such transaction. In fact, however the question is interpreted it is the wrong one with which to start this enquiry. Hertfordshire is a late-formed and artificial county; its boundaries were not defined until the eleventh century. We need first to look for an association at an older and more basic level. The Hundred, for example, is an older unit than the County, and the village commun- ity and the great man's estate are older than either. From combinations of estates and communities arose the units we call manors; and there is no particular mystery about the earliest manorial associ- ations of Coleshill. It was a 'limb' of the Manor of Tring.

  • An Important Early Valley Route Through the Chilterns. J.F.Head
    AN IMPORTANT EARLY VALLEY ROUTE THROUGH THE CHILTERNS J. F. HEAD, F.S.A. From Bourne End a continuous chain of valleys, fourteen miles long, leads through the hills to Princes Risborough, thereby linking directly those two most important early lines of communication—the Thames and the Upper Icknield Way. No other pass through the Chilterns existed to connect these two great highways of early times. The purpose of this paper is first to stress the importance of this Bourne End —Princes Risborough valley route and the evidence for its use by early man. Secondly, with the archaeologically destructive nature of modern development in mind, to emphasize the need for a close and constant watch for new archaeo- logical evidence which may come to light along its course. The line of the route approximates to that of the railway which until recently connected Bourne End with Princes Risborough. From Bourne End and the neighbouring Thames-side areas it passes up the valley of the Wye to the out- skirts of West Wycombe, where, curving northwestwards below the Iron Age hillfort, it continues between the hills, past Bradenham and Saunderton Lee, to widen finally to a head on the rising ground and broad open gap in the escarpment at Princes Risborough. There—a focal point for trade and culture— it meets the Upper Icknield on its way from East Anglia to Wessex. Abundant finds, which include large dug-out boats from Wooburn and Marlow, testify to the importance and use of the Thames as a trade and traffic route from the earliest times.
