  • 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.

  • Chearsley Parish Assets – Natural and Historic Environment
    CHEARSLEY PARISH ASSETS – NATURAL AND HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT 1. Introduction The parish of Chearsley is in Buckinghamshire near to the Oxfordshire border and is in the Aylesbury Vale District. It is a relatively small parish of some 960 acres (390 ha). The parish has a population of about 580 persons and a housing stock of some 220 houses. The village of Chearsley dates back to Saxon times and has medieval church dating from the 14th century (St. Nicholas). Chearsley is an Anglo-Saxon place-name (Cerdeslai or Cerdicesleah) and, according to Ted Hooton (1994), a minor Roman road may have come through what is now the village of Chearsley. 2. Landscape The landscape of Chearsley is based on ancient limestone, a fossilized vertebra was discovered in Sam’s hole, a popular swimming spot in the river Thame. This was discovered in the 1960s and is possibly a dinosaur or an icthysaur vertebra from the Kimmeridge clay layer. This ancient limestone and its associated sands, loams and clays give rise to the beautiful rolling countryside that we know today and its farmland and woodland that make up such a wonderful landscape. The current field system is based on the open field system as in 1763 (Hooton, 1989) and these open field boundaries can still be seen today even though the modern field system is based on the changes following the Enclosures Act of 1805. Today, the majority of the land is farmed by four principal farmers who maintain the current field boundaries, ditches and drainage systems. A few fields in the parish still exhibit the old, traditional ridge and furrow system, for example the lower end of Bury (or Berry) field on Manor Farm.
