Compendium of World War Two Memories
World War Two memories Short accounts of the wartime experiences of individual Radley residents and memories of life on the home front in the village Compiled by Christine Wootton Published on the Club website in 2020 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two Party to celebrate VJ Day in August 1946 Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was on 8 August 1945. It's likely the party shown in the photograph above was held in Lower Radley in a field next to the railway line opposite the old village hall. Club member Rita Ford remembers a party held there with the little ones in fancy dress, including Winston Churchill and wife, a soldier and a Spitfire. The photograph fits this description. It's possible the party was one of a series held after 1945 until well into the 1950s to celebrate VE Day and similar events, and so the date of 1946 handwritten on the photograph may indeed be correct. www.radleyhistoryclub.org.uk ABOUT THE PROJECT These accounts prepared by Club member and past chairman, Christine Wootton, have two main sources: • recordings from Radley History Club’s extensive oral history collection • material acquired by Christine during research on other topics. Below Christine explains how the project came about. Some years ago Radley resident, Bill Small, gave a talk at the Radley Retirement Group about his time as a prisoner of war. He was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk and the 80th anniversary reminded me that I had a transcript of his talk. I felt that it would be good to share his experiences with the wider community and this set me off thinking that it would be useful to record, in an easily accessible form, the wartime experiences of more Radley people. -
The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5)
Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5) - Incomes in Tudor Berkshire: A Recapitulation by Lis Garnish A well reasoned counter argument is always useful in research, calling for a reappraisal of the evidence and possibly opening up new and profitable lines of thought. Having written an initial article in "Oxfordshire Local History" on the 1522 Muster Certificate for west Berkshire (1), and a follow up one suggesting that the figures for “goods” were income rather than capital (2), I was pleased to see Simon Kemp’s article in reply (3). However, I finished reading the item with a sense of disappointment and confusion. Disappointment because he had produced very little in the way of extra evidence from the west Berkshire area, and confusion because he seemed to be countering propositions which I had not made. Kemp's article seems to contain two main lines of argument. Firstly, that the figures for “goods” given in the 1522 Muster Certificate were for “total wealth”, not income, and secondly that the comparison I made with later probate inventories was unjustified. If he had confined himself to the second argument he might have had a valid point. The comparison was a speculative one in an attempt to set the figures in a wider context, although in the absence of other hard evidence I feel it was justifiable to try to draw some conclusions. However, his case for “goods” being capital, as opposed to income, does not seem to have been made. Kemp's first criticism seems to be that two lists were required from the Muster Commissioners, that these were to be separate and that I have ignored this evidence (3). -

Bix and the Assendons
point your feet on a new path Bix and the Assendons Distance: 8½ km=5½ miles easy walking Region: Chilterns Date written: 5-oct-2015 Author: Phegophilos Last update: 5-jan-2021 Refreshments: Lower and Middle Assendon Map: Explorer 171 (Chiltern Hills West) hopefully not needed Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Meadows, woodland, pubs, deer park, views, pubs In Brief This unusual walk in typical Chilterns landscapes is full of variety and interest. The three villages in the title are one parish joined in history and between them are woodlands, meadows and parkland. The route of this walk finds a surprising lost path through a deer park direct to the charming village of Lower Assendon with “private” access to one of the best pub / restaurants in the Henley area (to enquire at the Golden Ball , ring 01491- 574157). Another great Chiltern pub features at the end of the walk (to enquire at the Rainbow Inn , ring 01491- 574879), making this a kind of double pub walk. There are no nettles to speak of on this walk so bare legs are unlikely to be irritated. However, in high summer, because of the rare paths used on this walk, some of the hedgerows may be overgrown and a hiking stick will be useful. In damper seasons, boots may be an advantage in the long woodland walk; otherwise good walking shoes or trainers are adequate. -

Annex to Comments on the Additional Documentation (2014-09-08) for Planning Application P13/V2733/FUL Traffic and Transport Impacts – September 2014 Amendments
West Way Community Concern – Annex to Comments on the Additional Documentation (2014-09-08) for Planning Application P13/V2733/FUL Traffic and transport Impacts – September 2014 amendments Top Line Flaws in the Transport Assessment (TA) submitted with the December 2013 Planning Application as a result of questions raised by Oxfordshire County Council (The Local Transport Authority) and the Highways Agency led to some fundamental changes being made to the design of the TA. But both Transport Assessments that have been produced for the proposed development are fundamentally flawed. Both underestimate the amount of traffic that will be associated with the development on local roads. Both produce very similar results, which happen to show levels of traffic that will not cause problems, but which show enough patronage to make the proposed centre viable. The amount of traffic that is forecast from the very local area is totally implausible (which has the effect of making traffic coming from a distance seem less). Given these two flawed Transport Assessments it is not credible that a sound assessment could be made which would show the development to not create traffic problems. Introduction Two Transport Assessments have now been undertaken using different methodologies, with the second claiming to address issues in the first. They both come to remarkably similar conclusions, but both have many flaws. This appears to point to a deliberate attempt to use complex models to confuse readers, and manipulating assumptions in order to produce results that show the proposal to be viable but not producing excessive traffic. Both have shown a serious lack of local knowledge, with the second merely addressing the most prominent issues raised by the County Council Highways Department and Highways Agency. -
