  • Waddesdon Unveils 2021 Programme
    Life-sized elephants, painterly images of beautiful roses, the kitchen where Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn and unseen paintings by Gustave Moreau – Waddesdon announces its 2021 programme Emerging from the gloom of 2020, next year looks rosier. Not least because Waddesdon’s 2021 season includes the second instalment of Nick Knight’s Roses from my Garden, a series of superb large-scale still life images with echoes of artists like Brueghel and van Huysum, yet wholly contemporary, extended from 2020. Also, from February, the history and secrets of the Manor’s kitchen and the people who worked in it will be revealed in a fascinating new display, while an exhibition of Gustave Moreau’s watercolours that have not been seen in public for 115 years is sure to be a highlight of summer. History of the Manor Kitchen 3 February – 7 March Manor Restaurant As a summer retreat from London and a magnificent setting for weekend house parties, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s Waddesdon was the last word in luxury and refinement, not least through what was served from its cellars and large kitchen. Guests included Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales (and future King Edward VII). In 1891, just 24 staff ran the house, but this number would double when the Baron was entertaining and his French chef and Italian pastry-chef came down from London. Such was their artistry in the kitchen, that Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn from Ferdinand’s after her visit in 1890. Waddesdon – A Rothschild House & Gardens, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0JH England www.waddesdon.org.uk When the house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1957, the Manor Kitchen was converted to a tearoom.

  • 4 Archaeological & Historical Development
    Wendover Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 4 Archaeological & Historical Development 4.1 Prehistoric period (c.10,000 BC – AD 43) Evidence for the prehistoric period in Wendover has been limited to chance finds, while a greater number of artefacts have been collected during fieldwalking projects in fields around the town. A number of Neolithic flint flakes have been recovered at locations including south of Rowborough Copse and north of The Hale (HER 0222900000). Two Neolithic flint axes were found in gardens at Elthorne and at Cobblershill Farm Cottages (HER 0015100000). Neolithic flints found in the garden of 13 Pound Street (HER 0096000000). In the surrounding landscape evidence is more abundant. Wendover is in close proximity to the Chilterns scarp, one of richest areas of surviving visible prehistoric monuments in the South East. One of the earliest sites was found at Wendover Woods with the discovery of Mesolithic stone tools, (HER 0571902000). At nearby Halton Camp there is a possible Neolithic long barrow (HER 0223000000). On Bacombe Hill, there are two unexcavated barrows dating to the Neolithic/Bronze Age (HER 0001100000). A number of late prehistoric flint flakes and tools were found on the ground surface around the monuments. On Boddington Hill overlooking Wendover, there is also more substantial evidence for later prehistoric settlement in the form of a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age hillfort (HER 0415000000). This scheduled ancient monument is a univallate enclosure, measuring approximately 500m x 200m. Situated on the promontory of the hill, the site has a commanding view of the Vale of Aylesbury to the north and the Wendover valley to the south.

Lionel was a keen and talented photographer whose collection of plates, a gift to The Rothschild Archive from his family, is one of the most extensive to survive in the UK. On his return from an Italian honeymoon, Lionel made a speech of thanks for their wedding gift to his parliamentary constituents of Mid Bucks revealing his dedication to his hobby and his eagerness to share its results with others: I must thank you for a very pleasant four weeks’ holiday which I have had in Italy, but I want to tell you that during those four weeks I was not idle, for I managed to take a camera with me, and I took a great many coloured photographs.

  • HVNL Spring 2019
    HALTON VILLAGE NEWSLETTER SPRING 2019 The Garden at Lower Farm in Spring HALTON VILLAGE NEWSLETTER EDITORIAL In this issue of the Halton Village Newsletter we have an update on where we are with the proposed closure of RAF Halton and a request for parishioners to consider joining the Parish Council. We are holding our Open Gardens again this year so please read the article about preparing your garden for the event if you would like to take part. There are also reviews of a couple of events that have been held in the village over the past three months which seem to have been much enjoyed by those who attended. There are items by both our church wardens. Brian Thompson explains how work has continued in the churchyard on various trees and hedges and Don Knight has written a piece on the dambuster whose gravestone can be found in the churchyard. Finally, as this issue extends to the end of April, we would like to wish everyone a ‘Happy Easter’ and successful Easter egg hunting. THE PARISH OFFICE The Parish Office is situated above the Village Hall in Old School Close. There is a supply of stamps in the office and a small letter scale. Parishioners can use the photocopier, 5p for an A4 black and white copy and 10p for colour. A3 is 10p for black and white and 20p for colour. The Parish Office is manned between 9.30am and 12.30pm Mon-Thurs.
