  • Remenham, Berkshire
    Remenham, Berkshire The parish of Remenham contains several hamlets and estates. The principal areas are Remenham, Aston, Remenham Hill, The Marsh and Marsh Lock. A.G. Taylor, Assendon e-Museum 2010 My personal interest in Remenham stems from the facts that I was baptised in Remenham church My father’s ancestors lived in Remenham from about 1850 to 1915 Remenham The name Remenham probably comes from the old English words reoma and ham and probably means a homestead or an enclosure by the riverbank. Remenham village is a small collection of buildings, principally St. Nicholas’ church and rectory, a village hall, Remenham Farm, the site of the former manor house and the former school. Parts of the moat of the original manor house remain. Sir Edmund Montfort owned it in the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III. A lane from the church provides public access to the river. Remenham church dates back to the 13th century. The only remaining part of the church from this time is the east window from about 1320. One window in the nave is restored from the 14th century and the tower dates back to the 15th century. However the building underwent a complete modernisation in 1870, at a cost of £700, and a sacristy and vestry were added in 1892, costing £450. The lych gate was built in memory of Violet Noble, youngest daughter of John Noble of Park Place, in 1868.

  • Edward Mackenzie Born 1 May 1811 Life Story by Gwyneth Wilkie Available Online At
    Edward Mackenzie Born 1 May 1811 Life story by Gwyneth Wilkie Available online at www.livesretold.co.uk Edward Mackenzie was born on May 1st 1811 and baptised at the Chapel Street Independent Chapel, Blackburn, where his parents lie buried. He was the 9th of the 10 children of Mary Roberts (1772-1828) and Alexander Mackenzie (1796- 1836), a canal contractor who accompanied Hugh Mackintosh from Scotland to begin work on cutting the Leeds-Liverpool canal.1 The Leeds Liverpool Canal, started in 1770, had 91 locks over its distance of 127 miles. Edward started work for his brother William Mackenzie (1794-1851) at the point where the latter evolved from resident engineer working on bridges and canals to railway contractor undertaking his first big venture, the construction of the Lime Street tunnel on the Liverpool & Manchester Railway between 1832 and 1835. Another assistant and pupil, David Stevenson, left a vivid account of what it was like to work for the relentless William: ‘I have spent many a weary hour and I might say night because Mackenzie, with whom I lived for some time, would often, after finishing his pipe and glass of brandy and water, instead of going off to bed, go out to one of the shafts which, as ill luck would have it, was close to his house and if, by further bad luck he found a bucket going down he would at once cry “Now then, Stevenson, let us jump in and see what these fellows are about 1 For further detail on Alexander see M Clarke, The Leeds & Liverpool Canal, 1990, p 87.

  • Fawley, Buckinghamshire
    Fawley, Buckinghamshire Although it is not in South Oxfordshire, my interest in Fawley is threefold: It is in within walking distance of Lower Assendon. It was the home of several of my ancestors. The author Cecil Roberts purchased a house in Fawley. Most of the village of Fawley is situated at about 160 metres (550 feet) above sea level in the Chiltern Hills. It is possible to look out from the village over the Thames Valley and, on a good day, see Windsor Castle. Fawley Bottom, to the northwest, is in a steep valley. In common with most parishes in the area, Fawley parish has a boundary with the River Thames to the southeast. The halfway point of Henley Royal Regatta’s course is referred to as Fawley where it passes this boundary. The name Fawley comes from Anglo Saxon and refers to a fallow-coloured woodland clearing or clearing with ploughed land. © A G Taylor for Assendon e-museum 2008 Fawley Court (Left) Fawley Court seen from the River Thames at Remenham (Below) Stained glass from Fawley Court c1654 now in Fawley church The house and former deer park surrounding it was established before the Norman Conquest. In 1616 it was sold to Sir James Whitelock, who also bought Henley Park and Phyllis Court. During the civil war it was occupied by James’s son, Sir Bulstrode Whitelock, and was the scene of fighting between the Roundhead and Royalist troops. Sir Bulstrode allowed Royalist soldiers to stay in the house in 1642 but they were poorly disciplined and ransacked its contents, leaving it uninhabitable.
