  • Buckworth BOOK.Indd
    The Buckworth Experience 1 2 FOREWORD We have called this book The Buckworth Experience as we have recorded the changing aspects of village life over the past 100 years not just from records but through experiences of past and present residents. The phrase was first coined in the 1980s by the then Bishop of Ely to describe his visit to the parish. He enjoyed the warmth of his welcome, and although it was early spring, he was able to appreciate Buckworth’s unique panoramic views. The church went on to use this catchphrase on many occasions and it appeared on T-shirts and sweatshirts, sold in aid of the church restoration. There have been many changes but what stays constant is the ‘spirit’ of Buckworth and its people. We hope this continues in the twenty-first century as it did in the twentieth and that villagers at the end of this new century, looking back as we have over the past 100 years, will appreciate and recognise the ‘Buckworth experience’. Over the past 18 months, we have contacted and spoken to many people, searched county records and newspaper archives and spent many hours battling with new technology. We would like to thank all those who contributed to this book. We recognise that there are some omissions as not all the detail we wanted was accessible, but we hope we have put together an interesting and informative book. Christine Brown Fiona Morrison Ella Pentelow 3 was 20. INTRODUCTION The village’s wealth in the Middle Ages came from sheep, the wool being used for Buckworth lies to the west of the main high-quality textiles which were produced A1 road from London to Edinburgh and in the Huntingdon area.

  • STILTON a Truly Exceptional Example of One of England’S Most Famous Cheeses, with a Herby Tang and Rich Creaminess
    FINEST ENGLISH STILTON A truly exceptional example of one of England’s most famous cheeses, with a herby tang and rich creaminess. PLU: 160 Sold as: Weighed /Kg Organic: No Category: British Cow - Blue (HR) Type of Milk: Cow Pasteurisation: Pasteurised Country: Product of England Rennet: Traditional Region: Nottinghamshire Style: Blue Approx weight: 7.5kg Flavour: Herby and rich Accreditation: PDO Rind: Natural Rec. Drink: Paxton's Vintage Port Own Milk: No Commentary There has always been a degree of uncertainty about the evolution of Stilton Cheese, but thanks to extensive research we now have a clearer knowledge of the origins and how Stilton Cheese evolved. 19th and 20th Century texts suggested that Stilton Cheese was never made in the village of Stilton and that it simply got its name because it was there that the cheese was first sold. This gave rise to many theories, including that concerning a lady by the name of Frances Pawlett, a renowned cheesemaker from Wymondham, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. It is said that in the 1740’s she supplied cheese to Cooper Thornhill, the landlord of the Bell Inn in the village of Stilton. These, we believe, were blue veined cheeses. Historical evidence has also been researched which suggests that a cream cheese was being made and sold in and around the village of Stilton possibly in the late 17th Century and certainly in the early 18th Century. Either way, it is clear that Stilton Cheese as we know it today was developed in the Melton Mowbray area. Such was the popularity of Stilton that others in the area started to produce cheeses similar in style and in1910, the producers had the foresight to lay down methods of production to protect where the cheese could be made and its nature.
