Is the world a better place a hundred years on? I doubt if many of them cared much about Sarajevo where it all started or knew what it was. The names that became familiar to them were Ypres, The Somme and Passchendaele. They knew those places and a hundred more. None of those places were German. I suspect they did not particularly hate Huns. They probably respected them. Above all I think they would not want their children to go through the same thing again, but of course they did. It is only 21 years from 1918 to 1939 when there was another World War. At least there has not been another. I would hope that they would be quietly grateful that the men who did not survive are honoured and remembered with pride.

All manner of trees and bushes can be planted this month, both fruit trees and ornamental trees and bushes, with the exception of evergreens which should be planted in May. It is very important that they all have enough moisture to get a good start. Considering the strange weather conditions we have endured this year it will probably be necessary to water them for a while, or of course it may be too wet to venture out. The hot and very dry Summer has played havoc with lawns, one can only hope they will recover and green up for next year. Cuttings can be taken from gooseberries and currants. Select strong one year old shoots about 12 inches long, trim off most of the leaves and cut just below a bud. Find a spot in the garden where they can be left undisturbed for a couple of years, push the cuttings into the soil about six inches apart, firm the soil and keep them moist. Take every opportunity to clear weeds and leaves and trim plants in flower borders. The middle of the month is the very best time to sow broad beans for a good crop. This year Spring sown beans were a disaster, they do not enjoy very hot weather. PS.

November will mark the 100th anniversary of the armistice in 1918. There will be many events locally and nationally. The Poppy Appeal seems to come around quicker and quicker each year. We always need more help with static sales at the shop, places that will host a collecting box such as businesses in the parish and door to door collecting. If you can help – or would like to help preparing or by distributing boxes please let me know.

Before the end of the First World War there was a desire across the country to commemorate the sacrifices and the casualties. A national war museum was first proposed in 1917 and before that schools, factories and others had complied lists of men who had joined the forces. Later on, the lists changed to the names of men who had died. For several years following the end of the war there was a discussion about how local communities should commemorate the fallen; what type of memorial would be best and who to include. Should it only be men who had died or what about wounded? How should men be remembered; should it be by name or by rank or by reference to the regiment or unit they served in? In this parish the only specifically ecclesiastical memorial is at Dinton. It is a cross of sacrifice and is situated by the roadside but adjacent to the churchyard. The other three main memorials are also by the road but not near a church. The Stone war memorial is the village reaction ground itself. There was also the St. John’s Hospital war memorial which was situated in the hospital chapel and later moved to the parish church. St John’s parish church also contains an illuminated roll of honour. There is a similar list of men in Dinton church. All these lists, which is essentially what a war memorial is, record the men in slightly different ways and there are some who are not included at all. A few of the men who joined up in 1914 might have been overlooked by the 1920s. The first parish commemorative event was on Thursday 6th May 1920. A “large group of people” gathered at the hospital chapel for the unveiling and dedication of the hospital memorial which records eight men who died in war. The service was led by V L Whitchurch, the Rural Dean. The inhabitants of Bishopstone formed a committee with treasurer and secretary.

  • The Vale of Aylesbury Plan Wingrave with Rowsham Parish Fact Pack May 2011
    The Vale of Aylesbury Plan Wingrave with Rowsham Parish Fact Pack May 2011 Wingrave Recreation Ground 1 Contents Section Page 1 Introduction page 3 2 Location and Setting page 6 3 Story of Place page 8 4 Fact File page 10 5 Issues Facing the Parish page 34 6 Parish Constraints page 36 7 Annex page 40 Front Cover Photo Source: AVDC, (2010) 2 1. Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment. This forms part of the evidence that classifies settlements into different categories, where different levels of growth are apportioned to over the next 20 years.
