2019 the Fact That You Are Reading These Words Suggests That You Are a New Reader of This Magazine July/August 70p 2019 The fact that you are reading these words suggests that you are a new reader of this magazine. Either you are a newcomer to this area or you are a visitor. If you are a visitor, we hope that you have enjoyed your visit to our church; that you have found it interesting, instructive and conducive to prayer. If you are going to be here at one of our regular service times, we hope that you will join us in the worship of God and we ask that you take our greetings back to your own church. If you are new to this Parish, we bid you welcome and invite you to join us and share in the fellowship of God’s family in Hughenden. This magazine gives details of the regular times of worship here. We hope that you will find something to meet your spiritual needs. The printed word is cold and remote and we would like to make personal contact with you, so please leave your name and address in the box at the back of the church. Whoever you are who reads these words, may God bless you, sustain you and protect you, your family and friends, now and always. Grant us Lord, faith to believe and strength to do thy will Outlook Editorial team Sylvia Clark Christopher and Jane Tyrer Susan Brice Cover and layout Ben Brice Printing Brian Clark and team Distribution Andrew Cole www.hughendenparishchurch.org.uk Dear Readers, It’s nearly holiday time, although as I write (mid-June) the heavens have opened once more and heavy rain is falling. Holidays, or ‘holy days’ as they were called in days gone by, were days on which normal activities were set aside, either by law or by custom to allow people to celebrate or commemorate cultural or religious dates on the calendar. Over the years the word has evolved into ‘holidays’ and is often a time of relaxation and recreation. In his letter Keith writes of the importance of finding time for rest and refreshment in our lives. Not all of us are lucky enough to go away on holiday, but refreshment can be gained by simply sitting quietly in a beautiful garden or in the countryside. I have often seen people sitting on the benches in our churchyard – we are lucky that we have such a place. Tracey Jones, TJ, our new Curate-in-Training is introduced to us in this edition of Outlook and we wish her every blessing as she is ordained deacon at Christchurch Cathedral on 29th June. We very much look forward to welcoming her to the parish the next day, 30th June and hope she will enjoy being with us. Wherever you spend your holidays, whether abroad on a sunny beach or at home (maybe also on a sunny beach), walking in the countryside or in a quiet spot somewhere, I do hope you will find rest and refreshment. Sylvia Clark Editor PS: Don’t miss the MU Ploughman’s Lunch on 2nd July at Church House! ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ Psalm 46:10 Every other month, the clergy from the Wycombe Deanery have an opportunity to gather together for prayer, to eat lunch and share news with one another for our mutual encouragement. The venue rotates between the various Churches within our area, and we recently found ourselves on a wet Thursday at All Saints, Bisham, just outside Marlow. This was my first visit to the Church, and as I stood in the Churchyard beside the river, watching the swans revelling in the wet weather, I was struck once again by how important it is to find time for rest and refreshment in our daily lives. We had been invited to spend over an hour in silence, and to then bring an item or reflection back to the group at the end. Offerings varied from flowers to sketches and stones, as we each shared how we had used the time, and how God might have spoken to us. My personal contribution was simply to share how refreshing I found the silence itself. I had welcomed the opportunity to rest and be still in such a peaceful place, to pray, to listen, and to allow the peace and sanctity of the church envelop me. As we enter summer holiday season, you may well have made plans to pack off the family to the Norfolk Broads, to Center Parcs, or to even hop on a plane or train further afield. My wife Rachel and I spent a refreshing few days in Lyme Regis in early May. Lyme Regis is a quaint Dorset town on the Jurassic south coast, a popular destination for visitors. We sampled the best local food, went out for some trips, including visits to Exeter, Charmouth and West Bay, and went on some lovely walks along the sea front. One afternoon, I found myself on the pebble beach looking out to sea, marvelling in the wonder of God’s creation. I was the only soul on this stretch of beach, and revelled in the moment, and found myself listening to the rhythmic sounds of the waves rushing onto the beach, as all else around me was still. I closed my eyes, and some words from Psalm 46 verse 10 came to mind – “Be still and know that I am God”. Peace and calm came upon me, and I felt at one with creation, and with the creator. Wonderful! Wherever you find yourself this summer, I hope and pray that you will find some special moments to be still and to be at one with creation and the creator. Keith [email protected] 07939 536879 Profile Fun-loving but gentle. Loyal … supportive of others. Pastoral heart for any who are struggling. Journeying alongside. Creative but not at all artistic. Quiet in a noisy sort of way! Details As a Navy trained nurse, TJ worked for many years in Accident and Emergency before joining Stoke Poges Church as a “Ministry Trainee” and studying with Sarum College. Her main areas of interest were in Youth work, creative prayer events, building relationships in the community and bringing people of All- Ages together in social action projects. She is currently training at Ripon College, Cuddesdon and will join us as a Curate-in-Training after being ordained deacon on Saturday 29 June 2019 (6.00 pm, Christchurch Cathedral, Oxford). The service will be streamed “live” on the Oxford Diocese website or Facebook page. We will be welcoming TJ to the parish the next day, Sunday 30 June, and there will be cake to celebrate, after the 10:45 family service. TJ’s heart has always been for people who sometimes feel “on the edge” of church life for whatever reason, whether young, older or somewhere in between. With a love of pastoral care, creativity and walking, it probably won’t be hard to persuade her to go for a “walk ‘n’ talk” … especially on a sunny day in the park! (Although, cookies and a cuppa are a good option on a rainy day) Richard, Tracey’s husband, is on the PCC at Hazlemere church where he plays keyboard for worship. Their two children are now “grown & flown” and both work in performing arts. Ashley as an actor in London with his wife Nicola, and Ruth as a dance teacher in a VI form college in Oxford. Hobbies include: Photography (mostly outdoors), calligraphy (mostly indoors) and playing guitar (mostly in worship!). She’s also hoping to rekindle a love of water sports from her navy days, as she tries out her new kayak. Having been studying for 5 years, TJ will be taking a break over summer, walking the Camino … a 500 mile Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (The Way of St James), returning in September. ‘Blessed are those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage’ Psalm 84:5 As is well known, the window in the north aisle nearest the vestry was placed there by a tenant of Hughenden Manor in gratitude for the failure of an ‘assassination attempt’ on Queen Victoria in 1882. However, the story is more complicated, with interesting links to Hughenden and to the influence of Disraeli on the Queen, even after his death. I am grateful to Arthur for drawing my attention to a book in our library: ‘What Queen Victoria Saw’ by Stephen White. From this book I learned the background to this incident, and the impact the case had on the criminal law. At 5.15 pm on March 2nd 1882, Roderick Maclean fired two shots at Queen Victoria‘s carriage, as she rode with her daughter, Princess Beatrice, from Windsor station to the castle. [As many will remember, the OLD Station in Windsor, now a shopping centre, is a matter of yards from the Castle entrance, and was used until about 30 years ago to house a waxwork display relating to Queen Victoria and her Royal Train.] Neither shot caused any harm, and Maclean was disarmed and tackled to the ground by an off duty police officer and two Eton schoolboys. One of those boys was the son of a tenant at Hughenden: Sir Samuel (known as ‘Bullocky Sam’) Wilson. Maclean had walked to Windsor from Portsmouth, setting off on February 23rd and had taken a gun with him. He stated in the trial that he never intended to harm - much less kill - the Queen, but wanted to draw attention to his poverty and lack of opportunity. He had apparently sent poems to the Queen and had them rebuffed by a lady-in-waiting.

    History of Beaconsfield and the White Horse Beaconsfield Beaconsfield is about 22 miles west of London on the A40, once the main road from London to Oxford and around half-way between the two. Located on the north-western corner of the South Bucks District, Beaconsfield is the largest town in South Bucks. With the coming of the railway in 1906 a new commuting community grew to the north of the historic core, which lay around the market square, and although 20th century developments have filled the gap, the terms ‘Old Town’ and ‘New Town’ are still used locally to distinguish the historic town from its 20th century Photo © Steve Daniels (cc-by-sa/2.0) 2 counterpart. St Marys and All Saints Church in Beaconsfield The parish church at the crossroads of Old Beaconsfield is dedicated to St Mary, it was rebuilt of flint and bath stone by the Victorians in 1869. The United Reformed Church in Beaconsfield can trace its roots of non-conformist worship in the town back to 1704. ‘Old Beaconsfield’ has a number of old coaching inns along a wide street of red brick houses and small shops.

  • Buckinghamshire Trade Tokens Issued in the Seventeenth Century
    BUCKINGHAMSHIRE TRADE TOKENS ISSUED IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. BY J. 0. MANTON. PART II. RILL (.Burhella 1072, Brehillia) 1217, " a hill," Celtic bre) is an ancient village, 12 miles W. from Aylesbury, situate on a high eminence called Burgh hill. Edward the Confessor (1042-66) had a royal residence there, the chief consideration being that the situation afforded some security from attack by enemies. Henry I—Beauclerc (1100-35) was there, and Henry II (1154-89) kept his court in the palace in 1160 when Thomas a Becket attended him as Chancellor, and again in 1162, the year when Becket was made Archbishop of Canterbury. An attraction there for Henry II, " a bold rider and keen sportsman," was the well-stocked deer forest of Bernwood. A Court was held at Brill as late as the reign of Edward III (1327-77), at which the right of the men of Brill, Boarstall and Oakley to pasture their cattle in the forest was reasserted, etc.; but the importance of the place has been gradually displaced from the time when Henry III (1216-72) built walls round Windsor Castle which was created by Edward III " as a truly regal monument." 32.
