  • Bledlow-Cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Development Plan Report of the Community Infrastructure Task Group 1
    Bledlow-cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Development Plan Report of the Community Infrastructure Task Group 1. Introduction 1.1 The Community Infrastructure Task Group (CITG) was set up by the Bledlow-cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Plan Working Group (WG) in December 2015. Its initial work programme was focused around the following questions: How do we prevent the loss of valued community facilities? What are these crucial assets? What are the infrastructure priorities on which CIL funds should be targeted? At the outset of the CITG’s work there was an understanding that the quantum of development on the former Molins factory site would be at the upper end of the spectrum and generate significant CIL funds. As it has become clear that such a scale of development opposed by Wycombe District Council’s (WDC) appeal case it has been necessary to amend the remit of the CITG to identify infrastructure priorities where PC funds (including and in addition to CIL) might be spent. 1.2 The CITG was composed of local residents all of whom, by virtue of being either long-standing residents of the Parish or through their roles in various local organisations, have demonstrated a competency to undertake the work of the CITG. During the work of the Task Group the following Stakeholders have been contacted directly in order to seek their input into the output of the Task Group and into this report.

  • 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.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, woodland, nature reserves, hills, views In Brief This truly unforgettable walk shows you all that is best in the Chiltern Hills. You go through great beechwoods, along valleys and over the Bledlow Ridge with terrific views. The walk begins and ends in a snug Chiltern village which holds its own surprises. The village has one of the iconic pubs of the Chilterns (to enquire at the Lions of Bledlow , ring 01844-343345). Along the way, you can stop at the Boot in the Ridge (ring 01494-481499). You also pass one of the great foodie pubs (see text), requiring long advance booking. This walk is a tribute to Raymond Hugh’s Adventurous Walks books, since it follows the same route as one of his walks. These books are out of print but still possibly available by mail order and the other nine walks are also a pleasure to do. There are only a few nettles on this walk and sensible shoes should be adequate in dry weather.

  • LACEY GREEN SCHOOL Joan West 2000
    LACEY GREEN SCHOOL My idea was to write about the school, but found the teachers’ log and the Inspectors’ reports told the story by themselves. I have resisted the temptation to add my own thoughts. “Step back with me and be caught up in the struggle to climb the educational ladder”. Feel for the teacher who asks “How can I teach 60 children in one small classroom all on my own, with ages from three to fourteen”. Some children walk over two miles to school. They arrive soaking wet but there is nowhere to hang their things let alone dry them. It is cold and dark. How can we succeed?” But this is a success story. It is social history. You will have to imagine the curriculum, heavy on religion. Just a taste on the first page for some swashbuckling stories. Although this is about Lacey Green it could be any little village. These teachers and children have me enthralled so that sometimes 1900 A.D. seems more real than the year 2000. -ooOoo- This booklet is dedicated to all who laid the foundations, against such odds, of the modern school that we know today as St. John’s Combined Church of England School, Lacey Green.
