Bicester, OX27 9BB 2 the house make yourself at home This charming Edwardian-era country house, set within beautifully landscaped grounds, is available for hire on an exclusive basis. Lovingly restored to its original splendour, this Oxfordshire gem features nine bedrooms, three large reception rooms, a handsome library and an intimate wood-paneled study. Designed in the classical Queen Anne-style, the house is an ideal setting to celebrate your wedding. The house is situated in open countryside with far-reaching views across towards Waddesdon. And while the house may be situated in splendid isolation, it is easily accessible from all directions. Poundon is only a little over an hour away from London and Birmingham by car; just an hour away from Heathrow airport; a mere ten mins from Bicester Village outlet shopping centre; and the culture and heritage of Oxford is only 30 minutes away. www.poundonhouse.com [email protected] 01869 713 412 3 the house a brief history Poundon House was built in 1908 by the Eton- educated gentleman cricketer John Heywood- Lonsdale as the perfect place to raise his growing family and enjoy the country pursuits for which the area is famed. The formal gardens, with a Lime tree avenue, parterre, ornamental pond and walled garden, were designed by the celebrated landscape architect Thomas H Mawson. The house remained as the Heywood-Lonsdale’s family home until the outbreak of World War II, when it was requisitioned by the government to help with the war effort . As well as housing two families of London evacuees, the house was used by Winston Churchill’s crack espionage unit, the Special Operations Executive. It continued to be used by the government during the Cold War through until the late 1970s. Then, after changing hands a couple of times, the Roscoe family moved in and set about breathing new life into the property. They continued the traditions of the Heywood-Lonsdales by filling the house with family and festivities - not to mention the hosting of some memorable parties! Poundon House, Poundon, Nr. Bicester, OX27 9BB 4 the house a brief history Three decades on, the house is still very much a family home, with three generations of Roscoes now living on the property. Poundon House thrives as an original turn-of- the-century English country house. It is a perfect example of the Queen Anne-style architectural revival that was led by Norman Shaw in the late 19th century. The elegant exterior carries many of the signature features of the English Baroque period, while the sympathetically updated interiors reflect the house’s passage through time by conserving the timeless and traditional and blending it with the new. Set within 10 acres of landscaped gardens - and featuring a traditional stable block and yard - the house stands imposing, yet not intimidating, against the changing of the seasons. In autumn, the house bears witness to the fecund harvesting of the surrounding countryside and the mellow fruitfulness of laden hedgerows; in winter, roaring log fires ward off frosts that paint the gardens; in spring, the gardens blossom into life; and, come summer, the swimming pool is available to create the quintessential country weekend. www.poundonhouse.com [email protected] 01869 713 412 5 Prices and rates weddings at poundon We would be honoured if you choose to hold We allow you to arrange all of your own Importantly, no other wedding or event takes your wedding and reception with us.

  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society.

This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained by BGT in appraising designed landscapes. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph.

RSL Any Local Lettings Policy – 15 May 2014 Commencement Date End Date To be reviewed in May 2015 Total number of properties in N/a estate/development Number of properties subject to proposed 50% of new build properties Local Lettings Policy 25% of re let properties Property type and number of beds and Nos. of Supported Rented Intermediate persons units Housing General need, re-let properties 25% of N/a Y N total General need, new build properties 50% of N/a Y N total Justification for local lettings policy Choice based lettings means that qualifying applicants are able to choose to express interest in any properties which become available and are the appropriate size and match their needs. Applicants who express interest in properties are then prioritised by their level of housing need (Bands A- D) and then how long they have been on the Housing Register. No consideration has previously been given to where in the District the applicant is from or where the property is located. Following previous direction from Members at Environment and Living Scrutiny Committee officers developed a scheme which was subsequently approved at cabinet and council. This scheme divides Aylesbury Vale into four ‘sub groups’ and allows some extra preference to be given to applicants with a connection to their local community. For the purposes of this local lettings policy, Aylesbury Vale is split into four groups, (Greater Aylesbury, North, South West and South East) which are broadly consistent with current LAF (local area forum) areas.
