Extremely proud of our heritage and expertise, our quality standards ensure that you can relax into your new home within moments of moving in - welcome to Hitchambury Homes.” Cosmopolitan Living Woodcote and Cedars are ideally situated in Dorney Wood Road, arguably one of the most prestigious roads in South Buckinghamshire and nestled amongst the famous estates of Dorney Wood House, official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Cliveden, Dropmore and Hedsor. The area lies only 26 miles from central London and can be easily accessed from both the M40 motorway at junction 2 or the M4 at junction 7. So whilst the fine local towns of Windsor and Beaconsfield are close at hand for everyday needs you can still easily enjoy the delights of London or jet off further afield from Heathrow Airport only 14 miles away. Burnham and Beaconsfield also offer mainline rail services into London Paddington and Marylebone respectively. For those that pursue an active leisure life Snowball Farm Equestrian Centre and Burnham Beeches Golf Club are a mere stroll away and Stoke Park Club can be found in the neighbouring village of Stoke Poges. Enjoy a peaceful walk in the 540 acres of protected ancient woodland of Burnham Beeches or along the Thames at Cliveden. Dining out you will be spoilt for choice with the Michelin star restaurants of The Fat Duck and Waterside located in Bray and The Crazy Bear and award winning Spice Merchant located in Beaconsfield. And of course the area is also renowned for its excellent schooling; Caldicott, St John’s Beaumont, Godstowe, Wycombe Abbey and Eton amongst those representing the Independent sector and local Grammar Schools at Beaconsfield, Burnham and High Wycombe. Creating Space & Light Approached through a gated private driveway both these homes are imaginatively designed to maximise natural light and flowing space – you won’t find dark corners or enclosed corridors in our houses. You will rise in the morning and experience the sunlight flooding in and retire at night and watch the moon and stars; alternatively when weather is inclement experience a stormy sky from the warmth and security of your home. After viewing you will be aware that these houses are designed to encompass the vagaries of day-to-day living in the 21st Century; they are not the normal collection of rooms merely strung together. the atrium hall Not just an entrance hall but an entertaining space and atrium extending up three storeys; incorporating a vast lantern skylight and feature window; you will be aware of the many vistas and immediately appreciate how the houses naturally flow. Ascend the sweeping staircase to the open first floor gallery and four large ensuite bedrooms, all directly accessed from the galleried area, no dead end corridors. On the second floor gallery you will be greeted with an infinity view to the world beyond. You will also enjoy two further bedrooms and the magnificent leisure room. Kitchen, Breakfast & Family Room Approaching one thousand square feet, this is the heart of the house, where many people live. The area is panoramic and again flooded with natural light through the feature semi circular bay with lantern style glazed roof. Both houses offer stunning bespoke kitchens by Stoneham and incorporate all the latest innovations using Miele, Gaggenau and Grohe appliances; you’ll need little encouragement to create wonderful meals and will find any excuse to entertain. Drawing & Dining Rooms Formally entertain in the spacious Dining Room, capable of seating twelve guests comfortably, then retire to the Drawing Room complete with its imposing sandstone fireplace and French doors opening onto the vast terrace and landscaped gardens. Bedrooms & Bath/Shower Rooms Climb the sweeping staircase to the fabulous Master Bedroom suite with its opulent fitted dressing room, lavish ensuite bathroom and views over the garden. Three further bedroom suites can be found on the first floor, with bedroom five and six imaginatively designed on the second floor. Leisure Room Play or relax in the innovative second floor leisure room. Together with the full height folding glazed doors opening to a Juliet balcony and the large lantern light you truly bring the outside world in.

A right wing group seeks to rise roughshod over relationships that have endured for decades. Many citizens would like to return to how it was in the 1960s. Others feel what they were promised in the 1970s is different to how things have turned out. Meanwhile, remainers are striving to find any legal means to prevent what the government intends. Yes, we have to face it – the plans for a Unitary Council in Buckinghamshire are not going well. As the erstwhile Bucks district councils plan legal action against the Secretary of State’s scheme, one wonders again just why our County Councillor is so, to use his phrase, ‘delighted’, at Mr Brokenshire’s decision. Some call for a ‘Buxit’ with us re-locating in the Royal Borough and I recommend Virginia Silvester’s article in this issue on the evolution of Bucks’ borders to get an idea of how Dorney came to be poised on the edge of two counties. Anybody reading the Parish Council minutes in this issue will see how our representatives believe that decisions over liaison with the M4 Project are being taken far to the north of Dorney.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.

  • Trumper's Field
    TRUMPER’S FIELD Trumper’s Field is a familiar part of Dorney to most of us. Sandwiched between the school and the motorway, providing access to the river, it is used by walkers with dogs or without, and children play there every day after school. Sadly, at the moment it is disfigured by earthworks and fencing for the motorway works. Who knows if the orchids that used to bloom there in the spring will ever reappear? I was asked recently if I knew where the name Trumper’s Field came from. While I don’t have cast iron proof, I’m sure it was named after the Trumper family, who were substantial farmers in the neighbourhood for over 100 years, through 4 generations. Although we’ve no evidence that the family ever farmed the field that now bears their name, we do know that in the 19th century Joseph Trumper rented the large arable field called Oak Stubbs where Dorney Reach now lies. It seems only right that a family which had such a big impact on life in Dorney should be remembered. (Regular readers of this magazine may recall that I have written previously in its pages about the Trumpers. Bear with me, please, as I know more about them now than I did then). The Trumper family first arrived in the area around 1783. Joseph and Sarah Trumper came from Iver, where most of their children were born, but Joseph died shortly afterwards, leaving his widow with 5 children under the age of 12. She brought them up at West Town Farm, while running the farm business there and at Lake End Farm.

The approach is delightful. Visitors either cross Dorney Common (careful of the potholes and wandering cattle uncontrolled by fencing) or walk along the towpath by the Thames. There was a Victorian repair campaign (in 1897 by Webb and Bennett of Oxford) which led to a rather harsh renewal of the window tracery, and there was a cack-handed attempt to keep out the damp by applying an external dado of bricks, probably in the mid-nineteenth century. However the building remained, in Victorian terms, decidedly old-fashioned.
