  • 14Th Regiment in NZ
    14th REGIMENT OF FOOT (BUCKINGHAMSHIRE) 2nd BATTALION IN NEW ZEALAND 1860 - 1870 Private 1864 GERALD J. ELLOTT MNZM RDP FRPSL FRPSNZ AUGUST 2017 14th Regiment Buckinghamshire 2nd Battalion Sir Edward Hales formed the 14th Regiment in 1685, from a company of one hundred musketeers and pikemen recruited at Canterbury and in the neighbourhood. On the 1st January 1686, the establishment consisted of ten Companies, three Officers, two Sergeants, two corporals, one Drummer and 50 soldiers plus staff. In 1751 the Regiment officially became known as the 14th Foot instead of by the Colonel’s name. The Regiment was engaged in action both at home and abroad. In 1804 a second battalion was formed at Bedford, by Lieut-Colonel William Bligh, and was disbanded in 1817 after service in the Ionian Islands. In 1813 a third battalion was formed by Lieut-Colonel James Stewart from volunteers from the Militia, but this battalion was disbanded in 1816. The Regiment was sent to the Crimea in 1855, and Brevet Lieut-Colonel Sir James Alexander joined them after resigning his Staff appointment in Canada. In January 1858, the Regiment was reformed into two Battalions, and Lieut- Colonel Bell, VC., was appointed Lieut-Colonel of the Regiment. On 1 April 1858, the establishment of the 2nd Battalion was increased to 12 Companies, and the rank and file from 708 to 956. On the 23 April 1858, Lieut-Colonel Sir James Alexander assumed command of the 2nd. Battalion. Lieut-Colonel Bell returned to the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The 2nd. Battalion at this time numbered only 395 NCO’s and men, but by April 1859 it was up to full establishment, recruits being obtained mainly from the Liverpool district.

  • Late Medieval Buckinghamshire
    SOLENT THAMES HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT MEDIEVAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (AD 1066 - 1540) Kim Taylor-Moore with contributions by Chris Dyer July 2007 1. Inheritance Domesday Book shows that by 1086 the social and economic frameworks that underlay much of medieval England were already largely in place. The great Anglo Saxon estates had fragmented into the more compact units of the manorial system and smaller parishes had probably formed out of the large parochia of the minster churches. The Norman Conquest had resulted in the almost complete replacement of the Anglo Saxon aristocracy with one of Norman origin but the social structure remained that of an aristocratic elite supported by the labours of the peasantry. Open-field farming, and probably the nucleated villages usually associated with it, had become the norm over large parts of the country, including much of the northern part of Buckinghamshire, the most heavily populated part of the county. The Chilterns and the south of the county remained for the most part areas of dispersed settlement. The county of Buckinghamshire seems to have been an entirely artificial creation with its borders reflecting no known earlier tribal or political boundaries. It had come into existence by the beginning of the eleventh century when it was defined as the area providing support to the burh at Buckingham, one of a chain of such burhs built to defend Wessex from Viking attack (Blair 1994, 102-5). Buckingham lay in the far north of the newly created county and the disadvantages associated with this position quickly became apparent as its strategic importance declined.
