  • The Vestry of Cholesbury, 1820-1894. Arnold Baines
    THE VESTRY OF CHOLESBURY 1820-1894 ARNOLD BAINES CHOLESBURY gained an unwelcome celebrity in 1832 as the parish where, under the Old Poor Law, the poor rates absorbed all the produce of the place.1 In many parishes the rates levied exceeded the rental2 and sometimes consumed the agricultural profits, so that scores of farms in the Vale of Aylesbury were untenanted at this time;3 but Cholesbury was the extreme case where the value of all the land in the place was eaten up, so that no further increase in rates was possible.4 The Webbs expressed some scepticism about this, and wondered 5 what the vestry minutes would disclose. The vestry books for 1820-32 and 1834-99 have recently come to light, and the story can be told. It will be seen how Cholesbury weathered the storm, and how its affairs were run for the next two generations by its ratepaying inhabitants in general meeting. W. G. Hoskins6 has spoken of "the breakdown of parish government in the early nineteenth century... the leanest century since the fifteenth for manuscript records". Cholesbury is a shining exception, and it behoves us to study it closely as an example of the old self-contained, self-governing village com- munity in its last days. Cholesbury was once a hamlet of Drayton Beauchamp, but in 1821 it had long been a separate manor and parish of 178 acres. Scattered around an up- land common of some 44 acres were about two dozen houses, with 132 inha- bitants. Only ten of these were ratepayers; in 1827 there were thirteen, and in 1832 eleven.
