Parish News 2 May 2017 Parish news

Election I did not expect to be writing about a general election again so soon. Whether it is unnecessary or needed is not for me to say. We are told that the public are fed up with elections although I expect it is it the media frenzy and politicking that people dislike. John Buchan said that all sensible people have the same politics and no sensible person talks about their politics. Which I think is right to the extent that political allegiance, voting intentions are personal private matters. I dislike the way the media try to trip up politicians about their private lives and views. What are really fairly standard Christian views are now seen a troubling or extreme. Politicians are asked about religion and church leaders asked about politics. I suppose if we are asked about our religious views or allegiance we have the same embarrassment. Religion is seen as personal and private but Christianity is essentially about being a community, and being part of community life. There is no secret ballot in church!

Dinton Wines started in 2013, when retired Laurie Kimber wondered what to do with the field he’d bought down the road. Learning as he went, but with a lifetime’s knowledge of growing all manners of fruit and vegetables, he set about planting hundreds of vines on his 15 acres of land overlooking the stunning .

This area of outstanding natural beauty is the perfect location for Dinton Wines. With it’s south facing slope, chalky soil and temperate climate, Laurie saw the harvest triple from 2 tonnes in the first year, to 6 tonnes the second year. When it’s time to harvest, the vineyard is truly a family business and Laurie’s children, grandchildren and even his great-grandchildren, as well as neighbours from the local villages of Dinton and Upton, all come out in force to pick the grapes.

Laurie grows the three classic grape varieties to achieve the subtle taste of his flagship quality English sparkling wine – Dinton Folly. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier combine to produce a dry, elegant and complex taste. The first harvest was ready to drink in June 2016 and has been positively received. See Laurie’s advert on page 27

ANGLO SAXON TREASURE UNRAVELLING THE HOARD Dr Susan Fern

Curator at Old Goal Museum, Dr Fern will tell us about the discovery in December 2014 of the third largest hoard of coins ever found in Britain: “row upon row of neatly stacked Anglo Saxon coins in two containers, totalling over 5,248 silver pennies and two half pennies”. 985 coins are from the reign of Aethelred, in the 990s AD, the remainder from Cnut’s reign 10-15 years later. At this time every borough had a mint and Buckingham produced silver coins for nearly 100 years. Some were in the hoard.

EVERYONE WELCOME This is a unisex, multi age fellowship ! Parish News 8 May 2017 Sir Gilbert Scott and Introduction In earlier articles I traced the lives of the Reverend Thomas Scott and his family, ending with the most famous of his immediate family, (1811 – 1878), one of the most influential architects of the nineteenth century. He was knighted in 1872 and styled as Sir Gilbert Scott. In this article I look at Gilbert Scott’s Buckinghamshire connections.

Early life and training Gilbert Scott was the second son of Thomas and Euphemia Scott, born when his father was perpetual curate at . Unlike his brothers who went to Cambridge and took holy orders he was not well educated and appears to have had a rather solitary childhood. What he did seem to like doing was sketching and wandering around old churches, including . His father, who himself designed the present Gawcott church, Holy Trinity, in 1827, suspected at about that time that architecture might be a good career for his son. Accordingly Gilbert Scott was sent to the Rev Samuel King to learn mathematics and something of architecture. Samuel had been Rector of Latimer since 1821 and also of Flaunden (just over the border in Herts), and I believe was married to Elizabeth, only daughter of the first Thomas Scott and so Gilbert’s Scott’s Aunt. Samuel and Elizabeth’s daughter is probably the child buried with Thomas in Aston Sandford Church). In 1827 Gilbert Scott was sent to to be articled to James Edmeston, an architect who was also a prolific hymn writer: In 1821 he had written Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us, O'er the world's tempestuous sea. Scott qualified in 1831 though he did not seem to have enjoyed his time with Edmeston much.

Early career From 1832 to 1834 Scott worked as an assistant to Henry Roberts (and helped with his design of Fishmongers Hall) and Sampson Kempthorne who, following the Great Reform Act 1832, specialised in the design of workhouses, the field in which Scott was to begin his independent career. Gilbert Scott’s father, the second Thomas Scott, died in 1835 and it seems that about that time, perhaps as a consequence of his father’s death, Gilbert Scott set up a practice of his own, later with William Moffat, in London, also specialising in the design of workhouses. Over the years they designed something like 40 workhouses, all over ; in Buckinghamshire these included the workhouses in Winslow and Buckingham, both in 1836, and in in 1838. None of these buildings looked like conventional workhouses. The entrance to the Winslow one is now a private house but the Buckingham one was demolished and houses were built on the site. The brick and flint one at Amersham became Amersham Hospital and what remains of the handsome brick and flint building is now known as Gilbert Scott Court. Among his other public buildings at the time were extensions to what is now known as the Old Gaol in Buckingham (1838). At this time Scott also designed domestic buildings, one of his first being 16 High Street in 1834, a red brick Georgian style house. More importantly to Parish News 9 May 2017 us he designed the Vicarage at Dinton, now known as the Glebe House, in 1836. It is described in Pevsner as being of local witchert and being ‘like a large cottage orné with many gables, faintly Tudor windows and overhanging eaves.’ This was the first of many church houses which he designed in his career, including Scott House, the former rectory at in 1838 and, much later, the Old Vicarage at Hillesden in 1870 -1, in brick with half-timbered gables. Scott’s first church anywhere is thought to have been another brick and flint building in 1838, St Mary Magdalene at Flaunden where his uncle the Rev Samuel King was rector – and it was said to have been built largely at Samuel’s own expense.

Scott’s family In 1838 Gilbert Scott married Caroline Oldrid, a cousin whose sister had already married his eldest brother the third Thomas Scott (indeed one of his sisters married one of Caroline’s brothers who then became perpetual curate at Gawcott), and in 1839 their first child, George Gilbert Scott junior, was born. They went on to have three more sons – John Oldrid, Albert Henry and Dukinfield Henry. Of those, George and John were to become architects (Albert became a photographer and died aged 21 and Dukinfield became a well-known botanist). And subsequently George Gilbert Scott junior’s son Giles(1880 – 1960) also became an architect, and is well known for his Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, Waterloo Bridge, Battersea Power Station, and the red telephone box. Giles’ son Richard Gilbert Scott was an architect too, as were other members of the by now wide Gilbert Scott family - the best known may be Elisabeth (1898 – 1972) who designed the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford. Peter Gilbert Scott is still in practice in Gloucestershire. Later work Sir Gilbert Scott is of course most well-known for his part in the nineteenth century Gothic Revival, best seen in St Pancras Station, or rather its Midland Grand Hotel, and the Albert Memorial – and in a different style for what is now known as the Foreign Office. His first design in the Gothic style was the Martyrs Memorial in Oxford in 1841. He did not design any buildings like that in Bucks. While he did indeed design a number of churches all over England and abroad, and one cathedral in Edinburgh, a large part of his practice was church restoration; indeed it is often that aspect of his work with which he is most associated. There are four important churches in Buckinghamshire which he restored. St Mary’s Aylesbury is largely a 13th and 14th century church but Scott oversaw two major restorations which, as Pevsner puts it, left the church with ‘overall, a very strong Victorian stamp’. In the 1840s the church was apparently in a terrible state, such that he had to start his restoration in 1849 with major structural repairs. From 1849 – 55 he oversaw the removal of galleries, reconstruction of the nave and aisle roofs, and the replacement of the pulpit. During a second period of restoration from 1866 – 69 he concentrated on the exterior, replacing the east window, rebuilding the spire, installing what was probably a copy of the previous 17th century clock stage, and renewing much of the stonework. The 14th century Lady Chapel was later restored by his son John in 1897. Parish News 10 May 2017 St Peter and St Paul, the parish church of Buckingham, stands above Buckingham on the site of the old castle. It was built in the late 18th century, following the collapse of the old church below. Very little of the 18th century church remains as it was largely rebuilt by Scott in the 1860s. The chancel was entirely built by him, and all the windows in the church and all the massive buttressing (there was a fear of subsidence) were his work. Much of the appearance of the nave is Scott’s work, though the work was later completed by his son John. , to the west of Buckingham, is described by Pevsner as ‘a good estate village, improved in the mid-19th century by the Fitzgeralds of Shalstone House.’ That included the church, St Edward the Confessor, which according to Pevsner is ‘almost entirely’ by Scott in 1861 – 2; ‘only the north aisle was left in its previous state’. In my view it is well worth a visit, in particular to see Scott’s wonderful designs for carvings on the stonework – e.g. palm fronds, roses, lilies, ivy. All Saints Hillesden, the so called Cathedral in the Fields, is one of the gems among Buckinghamshire churches: it dates from the 15th century when it had connections with Notley Abbey. Hillesden (where Scott had designed the vicarage) is a tiny village not far from Gawcott, and its remarkable church, described by Pevsner as ‘uncommonly lavish’, is therefore even more unexpected. It was ‘thoroughly restored’ by Scott in 1873 – 5. This was the church Scott had sketched as a boy and, because of his fondness for it, gave his services free. In addition he paid for four pinnacles and the fan vaulting of the porch. His restoration was again completed by his son John in 1893. There was a fifth church restoration in Buckinghamshire in which Scott took an interest – needless to say, Aston Sandford. But that will be the subject of a future article.

Parish News 11 May 2017 June Gardening June is the month when roses are at their best but keep a lookout for green fly and other pests. Last year was very odd, in that I cannot remember a year when there were so few aphids, at least in my garden. May well be different this time. This year lots and lots of fruit blossom so later this month or early July be prepared for more thinning out if too many berries left on the trees or bushes. Aubrietia, alyssum etc. which have finished flowering can get very straggly and untidy. The best way to deal with them is to trim with shears. All the tender vegetable can be safely planted out. When planting tomatoes make sure that they are securely staked as there is nothing worse than a heavy plant falling over. Tomatoes do need plenty of water and it is a good idea to sink a flower pot in the soil beside the plant. Fill the pots with water often and the roots will benefit directly. Continue to sow seeds for a succession especially, salad crops. It is not too late to sow a few runner bean seeds. Carrots and beetroot can be left in the soil until needed. Keep the hoe on the go, not only does this keep weeds down, but produces a soil mulch, which does help good growing conditions. Following a very dry April and also the first three dry months of the year let us hope for ‘a dripping June which brings all things in tune’. PS

In this General Election month, the following may be of interest:

In advance of an impending General Election in 1774, John Wesley entered the following in his Journal:

“I met those of our society [i.e. Methodist Christians] who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them:

[1] to vote without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy. [2] To speak no evil of the person they voted against. [3] To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.”

Of course, in Wesley’s day there was no universal suffrage as we know it today but his advice is sound, nevertheless

Parish News 17 May 2017 Buckingham Constituency

Our constituency has a long history since 1542. It returned two MPs until 1868. In the Twentieth Century the constituency was held by the Conservative Party for most of the time but a Labour Party MP served Buckingham from 1945 until 1951 and from 1964 until 1970 its Labour MP was the controversial publisher Robert Maxwell. The constituency included until 1983. Some previous members: Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon KG

An English nobleman and courtier. He was the patron of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, William Shakespeare's playing company. The son of Mary Boleyn, he was a cousin of Elizabeth I.

Sir politician, soldier and favourite of King Charles I. At the outbreak of the English Civil War he supported the Royalist cause and was killed at the Battle of Edgehill. From 1620 he made his family home at Claydon House, , Buckinghamshire. Upon the outbreak of the English Civil War, Verney remained true to King Charles, while his eldest son Ralph joined the Parliamentary forces. Verney was killed at the Battle of Edgehill. According to the tradition of his family, his body was never identified, except for his severed hand, found still grasping the banner. Francis Ingoldsby was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1654 and 1659. Ingoldsby was linked to the Cromwell family through his wife. In 1654 he was elected Member of Parliament for Buckingham, re-elected in 1656 for the Second Protectorate Parliament and again in 1659 for the Third Protectorate Parliament. Ingoldsby died in 1681. Ingoldsby was the brother of Richard Ingoldsby who was one of the few regicides to be pardoned and is buried at Hartwell church.
