  • 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. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus. It is Domesday Book,1 was right in saying that it almost, one might say, a Holy Grail, and sub• is in fact central to many of the great questions ject to many interpretations designed to fit this of early English history.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • Historic Walk-Thame-U3A-Draft 4
    Historic Walk – Thame & District U3A This rural walk along the River Thame passes through a number of villages of historical interest and visits the 15th century architectural gems of Rycote Chapel and Waterstock Mill. Starting at the church at Shabbington in Buckinghamshire the route soon crosses the River Thame into Oxfordshire and follows the river, before crossing the old railway line to reach Rycote Chapel. From Rycote the route follows an undulating track to Albury and then on to Tiddington. Heading south in Tiddington the route circles west to cross the railway line again before arriving at Waterstock via the golf course. Here there is an opportunity to visit the old mill before returning via the 17th century bridge at Ickford and back into Buckinghamshire. The small hamlet of Little Ickford is the last port of call before returning across the fields to Shabbington. In winter the conditions underfoot can be muddy and in times of flood parts of the route are impassable. Walk Length The main walk (Walk A) is just over 8.5 miles (13.8 km) long (inclusive of two detours to Rycote Chapel and Waterstock Mill) and is reasonably flat. At a medium walking pace this should take 3.5 to 4 hours but time needs to be added on to appreciate the points of interest along the way. Walk B is 5.8 miles (9.4 km) a shorter version of Walk A, missing out some of Tiddington and Waterstock. Walk C is another shorter variation of 4.7 miles (7.5 km), taking in Ickford Bridge, Albury and Waterstock but missing out Rycote Chapel and Shabbington.

  • 1 [Saxonbucks4: 15.11.2006 Version] Apart from the Introductory Section
    [saxonbucks4: 15.11.2006 version] Apart from the introductory section, this paper follows the sequence of headings proposed in the Notes for Contributors to the regional research framework. Each section commences with a list in italic of the suggested sub-themes. Solent Thames Research Framework. Saxon Buckinghamshire Michael Farley 1. Introduction Nature of the evidence: history of research: role of material culture This survey covers most of historic Buckinghamshire, which is now served by the Sites and Monuments Record of the County Council and Milton Keynes Council. It does not cover a few, largely Thameside, parishes formerly within the county but now within Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The County Museum service covers the whole of the modern administrative area of Buckinghamshire. Buckinghamshire, probably a creation of the tenth century, has always been more of an administrative convenience than a natural entity. Buckingham, the original county town, lost its position to Aylesbury fairly early in the medieval period, the latter gaining its position largely due to its useful county-centred location rather than to any particular commercial advantage. Although Buckinghamshire has been fortunate in having one of the earliest county archaeological societies (founded in 1847) also early Victoria County History volumes, which included a review of Saxon remains by Reginald Smith (1905) and early Royal Commission inventory volumes (1912 and 1913), it has only produced a handful of antiquaries such as Browne Willis (1755) and Langley (1797) with any strong interest in its physical remains. Nor did the county produce an early group of excavators.

As it is the province of the Society to collect notices of local customs and privileges tending to throw light upon the history of our county, I shall offer no excuse for drawing attention to the Rhyne Toll of Chetwode, an ancient and singular right exercised by Sir John Chet- wode, Bart., and his ancestors. The Rhyne commences at nine o'clock in the morning of the 30th of October, when a horn is blown on the Church-hill at Buckingham, and gingerbread and beer distributed among the assembled boys. The girls present are not admitted to a share in the bounty, but no reason has been assigned for this par- tiality save that of immemorial custom. When a suffi- cient quantity of these viands has been disposed of, the bearer of the cakes and ale proceeds through the village of Tingewick to the extreme boundary of the county towards Oxfordshire, in front of the Red Lion Inn near Finmere, three miles distant, where the horn is again sounded, and a fresh distribution of provisions takes place, also limited to the boys. At the conclusion of these formalities, the Rhyne is proclaimed to have begun. One toll-collector is stationed in the town of Buckingham, and another in the hamlet of Gawcott, a mile and a half dis- tant, each empowered to levy a tax, at the rate of two shillings a score, upon all cattle or swine, driven through the townships or hamlets of Barton, Chetwode, Tingewick, Gawcott, Hillesden, the Precint of Prebend End in Buckingham, Lenborough, and Preston-cum-Cowley, until twelve o'clock at night on the 7th day of November, when the Rhyne closes.
