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. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus. It is Domesday Book,1 was right in saying that it almost, one might say, a Holy Grail, and sub• is in fact central to many of the great questions ject to many interpretations designed to fit this of early English history. He was echoed by or that theory about Anglo-Saxon society, its Baring a few years later, who wrote, 'the hide is origins and structures. grown somewhat tiresome, but we cannot well neglect it, for on no other Saxon institution In view of the large number of scholars who have we so many details, if we can but decipher have contributed to the subject, further discus• 2 them'. Many subsequent scholars have also sion might appear redundant. So it would be directed their attention to this subject: A.

Swanbourne History Trail
Swanbourne History Trail BACKGROUND TO THE VILLAGE The village of Swanbourne can trace its roots back to Anglo- Saxon times. The first mention of ‘Suanaburna’ comes in a document of 792 relating to the granting by King Offa of the parishes of Winslow, Granborough and Little Horwood for the establishment of St. Alban’s Abbey. The name probably means ‘peasant’s brook’, and so originally referred to the stream which flows along the western border of the parish, rather than the village itself. At the time of the Doomsday Book in 1086, the parish was divided between 5 landholders, although one of these was extremely small. One of the major landholders was King William (The Bastard or Conqueror) who took over land belonging to King Harold. William’s half-brother the Count of Mortain also held land, and the other two major landholders were Walter Giffard and William, son of Ansculf. In 1206, much of the village lands were granted to Woburn Abbey, but following Henry VIII’s dissolution of the Abbey in 1538, the land and Overlordship of the Manor of Swanbourne was sold on to the Fortescues, then the Adams, then the Deverells and finally the Fremantles. This trail starts from The Betsey Wynne public house which was opened in July 2006. The pub takes its name from Betsey Fremantle (nee Wynne), wife of Thomas Fremantle, who was a captain in the Royal Navy and a close friend of Admiral Nelson. Thomas and Betsey, together with their new-born son, also called Thomas, moved to Swanbourne in 1798.

The Carpenters Arms Stewkley Tel: 01525 240029
AUGUST 2020 back to business new normal at the carps toilets, which operate on a one‐in‐one‐out basis, or going outside to smoke. Tables have been removed to ensure social distancing guidelines are met and where they can not be moved a screen has been installed. The Grapevine asked landlady, Jakie Spencer, how people had responded to them re‐opening and how it had affected the shop service they had been running. Jakie said, “When we first opened business was at a very gentle pace, this, I think, was down to people being very cautious and possibly not being used to going out. ‘The shop we started to help people with basics seems to have slowed down now everyone can get to the shops themselves, but we still have a few people using us for bits and pieces. “There have been quite a few new faces coming in, as well as our regular clientele returning.” Jakie also told us, “At the moment we can't offer any music, and quizzes would be tricky with the current social distancing measures in place, unless we had an outside quiz… now there's a possibility…maybe garden bingo as well! “We are working on a bottle bar for the garden so anyone in the back garden doesn't have to keep going into the bar area. We will be carrying on with the takeaway service as quite a few people have found it useful and will hopefully continue to do so.” Jakie added, “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all Clay and Jakie Spencer welcome their first postlockdown customer those who helped us through these trying times and to reassure everyone that we will be doing our utmost to make sure they feel to The Carpenters Arms safe and comfortable at the Carpenters during their visit.” It may have been Independence Day in America but July 4 2020 was also a day to celebrate for anyone in Stewkley who likes to pop to NHS SPITFIRE FLYPAST their local for a drink.

Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities. Countywide Priorities Befriending Community Transport Aylesbury Vale North Priorities Affordable Day Activities Gentle Exercise Low Cost Gardening Services Dementia Services Social Gardening Men in Sheds Outreach for Carers Background data Physical Area The Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is just less than 200 square miles in terms of land area (500 square kilometres).
