We hope the content informs and also entertains our readers and as we are so often told, the Newsletter is an important means of communication in our Parish and if anyone would like to write an article, for a future issue, that would be very welcome. There is also our village website – www.fulmervillage.org.uk and the Nextdoor app – both offering different ways of finding out what is going on locally. Another important part of the workings of Fulmer are the Parish Council meetings, held each month (not August) where at the start there is a public quarter of an hour for anyone to come and air a concern or seek information. The dates and minutes of the meetings are on the website. Our thanks, as usual, go to our contributors, loyal advertisers and the helpers who assist with delivering this newsletter to you. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

RONNIE & ROSIE – A Tribute ‘The Old Order Changeth, Yielding Place to the New’ When the poet, Alfred, Lord Tennyson was penning these lines, it would have been impossible for him to have had the village of Fulmer and its community in mind. Yet, as an observation it is timeless as it is the lot of humankind to live a lifespan of varying lengths in which most of us would hope to make a contribution to the wellbeing of the community in which fate has decreed that we should live. It is part fulfillment of our duty towards our neighboUr. In this respect our Fulmer community has been especially blessed by the highly active presence over the past 41 years of Ronnie & Rosie Lamb of Stoke Common Road. In the course of that time there can be few Fulmerites whose lives have not been touched and enriched by some act of kindness, which they have bestowed, together or individually, on one or more of us. I have witnessed myself over those years the love of Fulmer they generated between them and to give substance to that love, they have taken on roles in almost every corner of our Parish. Soon after they came to live in Dunrobin in 1976, the County was drawing up plans to extract more gravel, fitting into a National Plan to further the building of roads and housing for which there was a pressing need. This Plan included pretty well the whole of the Pickeridge Farm Estate. As Chairman of the Fulmer Parish Council I asked Ronnie to study the proposal, which abutted onto the property he had just acquired and then report to the Council on the possible problems which we might be able to avert through consultation. These included preventing heavy site vehicles passing through the village, protection of designated footpaths and wildlife, water courses and the introduction of noxious materials, methane gas, drainage, later checking the overall levels of toxic materials for industrial and domestic waste in the course of infilling after the ‘dig’ had been completed. This report was so masterly that I cannot think at this stage of any problem, once foreseen, which we were unable to avoid in our negotiations with the County authorities. This gave Ronnie an early insight into the sort of issues that a small Parish Council has to face and, as a result, I had little difficulty in persuading him to seek nomination to the Council. In that capacity he was very helpful in furthering the 18 year campaign that the Council were involved in to bring Main Drainage into Fulmer Village; drawing up the Constitution of the new Sports & Community Association and so on. He, with Rosie, took on the Fulmer Christmas parties which always proved highly entertaining for all attending, especially if one was in good voice for the Carols; he was very active with the Fulmer Conservation Group whose work has been a significant factor in our many successes in the Best Kept Village Competitions.

A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested that the Site has a low potential for containing deposits of Prehistoric to Medieval date, and a high potential for containing deposits relating to a terrace of late 19th century buildings. Farming and various phases of construction in the 19th onwards is likely to have truncated to an unknown extent any archaeological deposits across much of the site. _____________________________________________________________________ i Archaeology South-East Lion House, Slough _____________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS 1.

  • The Old Paludians Newsletter March 2006
    The Old Paludians Newsletter Founded 1915 Website: www.oldpaludians.org March 2006 Last year we marked our 90th Anniversary with the publication of our new Book called School Ties. This has been well received by everyone and is very much a real part of the social history of Slough. It is available at the Reunion or by post so we can recommend it – it contains many fascinating memories of life at our Schools over the years. Our 2005 Reunion was quite spectacular and a very happy day was rounded off by a rousing rendition of the newly discovered Old Paludians song. Sadly we have lost a number of Old Paludians this past year as the years take their toll. Included in this list are a number of much loved former members of staff. We thank Mrs Lenton for letting us invade the School once again and we also thank the staff who help both in the run-up to the Reunion and on the Day itself. It is an occasion looked forward to by many as a chance to meet up with friends and to exchange news. We hope everyone will enjoy themselves. THE ARCHIVES We received a number of donations of items of School memorabilia to our Archive during the year. Especially noteworthy were a superb set of exercise books from the 1940s given by Joyce Haggerty (Newstead), a mixed collection of rare items (including a Lectern Cover designed and made to celebrate the High School’s 21st birthday) donated by Vivienne Tuddenham and the gift of two photographs both new to us from Audrey Evans.

A right wing group seeks to rise roughshod over relationships that have endured for decades. Many citizens would like to return to how it was in the 1960s. Others feel what they were promised in the 1970s is different to how things have turned out. Meanwhile, remainers are striving to find any legal means to prevent what the government intends. Yes, we have to face it – the plans for a Unitary Council in Buckinghamshire are not going well. As the erstwhile Bucks district councils plan legal action against the Secretary of State’s scheme, one wonders again just why our County Councillor is so, to use his phrase, ‘delighted’, at Mr Brokenshire’s decision. Some call for a ‘Buxit’ with us re-locating in the Royal Borough and I recommend Virginia Silvester’s article in this issue on the evolution of Bucks’ borders to get an idea of how Dorney came to be poised on the edge of two counties. Anybody reading the Parish Council minutes in this issue will see how our representatives believe that decisions over liaison with the M4 Project are being taken far to the north of Dorney.

    Understanding Historic Parks & Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research & Recording Project Little Halings (Tile House Farm) April 2016 Bucks Gardens Trust Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Little Halings, South Bucks District 02 April 2016 HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY 1 Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Little Halings, South Bucks District 02 April 2016 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) 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 (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not conclusive 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 on behalf of BGT by experts in appraising designed landscapes who have worked extensively for English Heritage on its Register Upgrade Project. 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. A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Policy Planning Framework and including an overview.
