The priorities are split into those that the LAF can work on locally and those that are more strategic and therefore, the LAF has to influence through lobbying different services and organisations. The top actionable priorities will be worked on by the LAF and also updated on a regular basis as they are taken forward. LAF budgets will be allocated to the actionable priorities. Top actionable priorities: to be worked on locally by the LAF and community groups Activities, facilities and support for young people aged 11+ Traffic concerns including parking, road safety and safer routes to schools More accessible transport required, including community transport schemes Reducing social isolation for older and vulnerable people Improvements to the environment and green spaces Strategic priorities: the LAF will monitor and lobby on behalf of these priorities 12 Priority: Activities, facilities and support for young people aged 11+ Summary of current More facilities and activities are required for young people as well as improving situation links in service provision and information to young people. The LAF is particular- ly interested in outreach work and work in rural communities. Chiltern Youth Projects run a number of activities at the youth centre and during the holidays, many in conjunction with the youth work supported by the Town Council/St Mary’s Church. Youth groups have recently been set up in Coleshill/Winchmore Hill through St Mary’s Church. Work being Since 2014, the LAF has supported a mentoring project at Chiltern Youth taken forward and Projects and is working with the group on funding a Mental Health First Aid achievements to Training project for young people through the Amersham Decides community date budgeting project. The Pop-Up Cinema has been supported through the LAF (Martin Phillips) and it is hoped that this activity can be extended to the parishes through funding provided by Amersham Decides. Other support is being sought for a film project for young people. Work has taken place in the local area to engage with young people in all the parishes and encourage them to participate in the democratic process. Almost half the votes received in the Amersham Decides 2014 project were from young people and it is hoped to achieve this success with the 2015 project being extended to more schools and youth groups in the area.

  • Lca 13.6 Chess Chalk River Valley
    LCA 13.6 CHESS CHALK RIVER VALLEY LCA in Context LCA 13.6: CHESS CHALK RIVER VALLEY KEY CHARACTERISTICS • A broad chalk valley with a wide, flat bottomed floodplain. Rolling valley sides to the north of the river with sides rising more steeply to the south. • The River Chess is a relatively wide chalk stream which meanders gently through the valley forming the main focus of the landscape. The river is dammed at Great Water to form a lake within the parkland of Latimer House. The line of river picked out by occasional alders and other trees. • On the valley sides the underlying chalk, and free draining lime-rich soils support arable cultivation and pasture. Woodland is present on the valley tops and in places reaches down the valley slopes. • The valley floor is characterised by pasture with some rough grassland and scrub woodland. Field boundaries are defined by low hedges, tree lines and fencing associated with Latimer Park. • The valley is not a main transport corridor or through valley. The Latimer Road, a local road, runs parallel to the River course. • The historic picturesque villages of Chenies and Latimer nestle on the valley slopes. These settlements are characterised by the vernacular buildings constructed of handmade brick, flint, with some timber framing and render. Individual farmsteads are located along the valley floor and on the lower valley slopes. • Views are largely contained along the valley and up the valley slopes. There are some extensive views from upper slopes across the character area. • Woodland is located along upper valley slopes but extends down to the valley floor in places (e.g.

  • Norwood, Harding, Bovingdon and Ball Families of Amersham, Coleshill and Penn Have Been Written by Chris O’Brien and Are Reproduced Here with Permission
    These notes on the Norwood, Harding, Bovingdon and Ball families of Amersham, Coleshill and Penn have been written by Chris O’Brien and are reproduced here with permission. Ancestry of William Norwood of Eton These notes concern the ancestry of William Norwood of Eton, currier, the grandfather of Robert Pickman Norwood (I), who died in 1827. He married Maria Pickman at Upton (Slough), 28th March 1791, when he was 26, and was buried at Eton, 7th May 1827. He was aged 62 at his death. These two pieces of evidence place his birth between May 1764 and March 1765, but up to now no birth record of a William Norwood has been found. The identification of this William Norwood with the descendant of the family described in these notes rests on four pieces of circumstantial evidence, namely: (a) These notes lead to William Norwood, son of Richard Norwood of Amersham, tanner. Richard died in 1775. His wife having predeceased him, administration of his estate and curation/tuition of his children was granted to their grandfather, also Richard Norwood. In the curation bond, dated 18th October 1775 (Arch. Bucks.), the second of these children is William Norwood, aged 10. This places his birth between October 1764 and October 1765, which is consistent with the above information. (b) A set of documents was deposited in the B.R.O (now the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies) within the last ten years which are the title deeds of some property in Penn. They show the descent of the property from Thomas Bovingdon via his daughter Emma who married Ezekiel Norwood (the only evidence I have for that marriage), through Richard Norwood (d.

    LODGE FARM LITTLE CHALFONT - BUCKINGHAMSHIRE A STYLISH COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED THREE AND FIVE BEDROOM HOMES LODGE FARM A STYLISH COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED THREE AND FIVE BEDROOM HOMES NESTLING IN RURAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE Lodge Farm offers an unparalleled quality of life for you and your family, in this unique, newly formed community. Perfectly located in the historic village of Little Chalfont, Lodge Farm’s traditionally built homes and attractive elevations blend perfectly with their rural surroundings to create a real sense of place. The redevelopment of the 16th century farmhouse with a Tudor rear extension is reputedly part of the Duke of Bedford`s estate and the farm to Chenies Manor. Although it has never been occupied by royalty, Chenies Manor was once known as Chenies Palace. The Cheyne family owned the manor from 1180 and passed the house by marriage to the Russell family in 1526. Sir John Russell became the 1st Earl of Bedford, the progenitor of all the subsequent Earls and Dukes of Bedford. Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were visitors at the Manor and would have been accommodated in a grander wing. The remaining 5 houses were constructed to replicate the old 18th century storage barns.
