  • Descendants of Sampson Toovey and Katherine Shrimpton of Amersham
    DESCENDANTS OF SAMPSON TOOVEY AND KATHERINE SHRIMPTON OF AMERSHAM January 2017, revised August 2017 1 PREFACE This research was undertaken at the request of the Curator of Amersham Museum, Emily Toettcher, who wanted information about the Toovey family members who had lived in the building that now houses the museum. It was very soon apparent that much investigation had already been carried out. The trigger- factor was probably the death of Ronald Frank Toovey on 14 August 1980 in Wycombe Hospital. He was the last survivor of the four children of Frederick Samson Toovey and Sarah Ann Clare. He was unmarried, childless and intestate and, although his solicitors twice attended to try to get a Will drawn, it was too late. The solicitors commissioned a genealogist to act as heir hunter and eventually heirs were identified and the estate distributed. This seems to have generated interest in their ancestry among the descendants of Ronald Frank’s grandfather Henry Toovey (1822-1910). At that time there was considerable interest also in exploring the capabilities of computers for storing and analysing genealogical data. The Toovey family featured in an article in Computers in Genealogy in March 1993 1. In 1995 Richard Boyles wrote Toovey’s in Amersham, My Family History and kindly presented a copy to Amersham Museum. While carrying out this research he became aware of Dr DW Jopling who two years later would publish The Descendants of Toovey of Watlington, born ca 1540. A copy of this, accompanied by a roll pedigree, is in the Library of the Society of Genealogists in London.

  • Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Key associated species Chalk Carpet Moth Chalkhill Blue Chiltern Gentian Duke of Burgundy Early Gentian Glow Worm Green Hairstreak Hornet Robber Fly Horseshoe Vetch Juniper Linnet Meadow Clary Pasque Flower Roman Snail Silver-spotted Skipper Snail Abida secale Stone Curlew Striped Lychnis Moth Yellow Meadow Ant This habitat includes all semi-improved grassland and unimproved grassland occurring on shallow lime-rich soils normally underlain by chalk or limestone rocks. Calcareous grassland is associated with distinct topographic features such as escarpments or dry valley slopes and ancient earth works. Lowland calcareous grassland supports a very rich flora with many nationally rare and scarce species together with a diverse invertebrate fauna such as Chalkhill Blue and Duke of Burgundy butterflies. Scrub, such as Juniper and Box, is associated with calcareous grassland and contributes to local biodiversity. 1 Current status in the UK Biological status 1.1 Calcareous grassland is a rich grassland type in terms of the diversity of plant and invertebrate species supported. Many species are confined to calcareous grassland in the UK, including those that are on the northern edge of their European range. 1.2 Lowland calcareous grasslands are defined by the UK Biodiversity Group as the first nine communities in the National Vegetation Classification CG grouping. These communities are largely restricted to the warmer and drier climate of southern and eastern areas of the UK. 1.3 The amount of calcareous grassland has undergone a significant decline over the last 50 years. Although there are no detailed figures available for the UK as a whole, local statistics demonstrate the overall decline eg 50% lost in Dorset between the mid-1950s and the early 1990s, 25% lost in Sussex between 1966 and 1980.

  • Moving out of London for Village Life? Here Are the Top 7 Most Popular Villages to Move to in the Chilterns Submitted By: Hudia Tuesday, 16 March 2021
    Moving out of London for village life? Here are the top 7 most popular villages to move to in The Chilterns Submitted by: Hudia Tuesday, 16 March 2021 Due to COVID, Chiltern Relocation has seen a shift in house-hunter priorities. Walking distance to a train station and a super quick commute into London, is no longer top of the list of requirements. Sharon Hewitt, founder of multi-award winning Chiltern Relocation said: “Clients are wanting a more rural lifestyle but are still keen to enjoy all the perks of town life such as local schools, pubs and shops and an active community. We’ve drawn up our list of the seven most popular village locations in The Chilterns, perfect to relocate to.” Penn Penn is a sought-after village in Buckinghamshire, a couple of miles north of Beaconsfield. At its centre is a very picturesque duck pond and village green. Penn is within the Chiltern Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is very popular with families wanting a semi-rural setting but close to major transport links. It is only minutes from the M40, M25 and Heathrow. Penn is also very close to the mainline rail station at Beaconsfield with journey times of approx. 25 minutes to London Marylebone. Penn has a thriving village community. It boasts a few village shops and doctor’s surgery. There are a number of excellent local country pubs dotted around Penn and the neighbouring villages of Tylers Green and Forty Green. There are great primary schools in the village. Penn Street Penn’s smaller neighbour, Penn Street, is nestled in the Chiltern hills.
