  • THE DESECRATED CHURCHES of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. As It Is Not
    THE DESECRATED CHURCHES OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. (Continued from Page 85.) DEANERY OF BURN HAM. As it is not the object of these papers to notice Churches attached to Conventual Establishments, unless they were required also for parochial Services, the Chapel which belonged to the monastery at Burnham must be passed over, which leaves only two in this Deanery to be noticed, and these are both in the parish of Chesham. GROVE is an ancient Manor which for many generations belonged to the Cheynes, of Drayton Beauchamp. They had a Mansion there, which, says Lysons, appears to have been strongly fortified, and this is confirmed by the site having still the remains of two moats around it. In the year 1585, John Cheyne of Chesham Bois and Drayton Beauchamp, the same who presented Hooker to the Rectory of Drayton, left Grove to his eldest son, John Cheyne, whom he had disinherited, — but for what reason does not appear, though the epitaph on his tomb, in the Church at King's Langley, indicates that he remained a Roman Catholic, whereas his father had become a zealous Protestant. — Lysons says there was a Chapel at Grove, and at my request the Rev. Bryant Burgess visited it, and has kindly given me the following report: — "The building stands East and West, and there has been a burial ground to the South. Tradition also calls it a Chapel. But I find nothing ecclesiastical in the architecture; and it evidently consisted of two stories. It appears to have been the refectory of a Religious house, with small build- ings, probably dormitories, attached to it.

This delay has been caused mainly by the discovery, during the preparation of the work, that many of the documents which go to make up a Sessions Roll had become misplaced. It was thus necessary to examine and arrange all the rolls for a period long after the date when this calendar was likely to end, in order to ensure that all records covering the period would be brought together and noted in the calendar.

Each Parish to receive an equal share, of £7,500 to be used on schemes agreed with the County Council. ii. Each Parish to receive a weighted share based on the size of the parish. iii. Funds to be allocated on the basis of an assessment criteria agreed by the Local Committee that prioritises requests on an annual basis. c submit bids for the delegated budget or provide any further supporting evidence for bids already submitted, taking account of the decision on the allocation process. Table A (attached) shows the requests received as at 14 October 2003. 3 Details d Until the current financial year the delegated budget fund was £100,000 per committee to fund structural maintenance works, with another £100,000 shared between the four committees ( referred to as the “bonus ball” fund) available for structural highway maintenance schemes which were innovative and/or environmentally orientated. e This changed for 2003/04. The “bonus ball” scheme was dropped and instead each Committee was given £125,000, managed by the Area Manager, and bids no longer had to be confined to structural maintenance works.

  • BUCKINGHAMSHIRE POTS, POTTERS and POTTERIES, C.1200–1910 by MICHAEL FARLEY and BARBARA HURMAN Offprinted from RECORDS of BUCKS
    BUCKINGHAMSHIRE POTS, POTTERS AND POTTERIES, C.1200–1910 BY MICHAEL FARLEY AND BARBARA HURMAN Offprinted from RECORDS OF BUCKS Vol. 55 2015 BUCKINGHAMSHIRE POTS, POTTERS AND POTTERIES, c.1200–1910 MICHAEL FARLEY AND BARBARA HURMAN An attempt is made to list Buckinghamshire’s pottery production sites and potters from the thirteenth century until c.1910 and to give a short description of their products where known. The information is derived from confirmed kiln sites, from surface finds of ‘waster’ material which indicate production, and from a range of documentary sources including field names. There remains considerable scope for further local research; a number of suspected production sites have not yet been located on the ground and further local study would certainly identify other potters and link named potters to specific locations. Several features have emerged from the study. Firstly, a number of production sites are known to have been active in recent centuries, but for which there is no earlier record. It is suspected that some of these may have had earlier undocumented activity. Secondly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, many pottery centres were located on agriculturally marginal land. Thirdly, several of the pottery families followed their trade over generations and this is likely to have been the case long before documentation becomes available. Finally, the number of ‘pot hawkers’ recorded, particularly in the mid-nineteenth century, is surprising as it almost equals the number of working potters; their role in distributing the wares of country potteries may have been underestimated in the past. quently exposed, for example by being ploughed up, I NTRODUCT ION weathering of their relatively soft and open fabric Until shortly before the Roman conquest all pottery may leave little trace of them.
