October/November 2004 October/November 2017 Adstock Clarion 1 Vine Cottage, West Street, Adstock (01296 713457) 1, Greenfields, Adstock (01296 712561) DID YOU KNOW? The military salute is evolved from medieval times when knights in armour raised their visors to reveal their identities. If you get to the bottom of a well or a tall chimney and look up you can see stars, even in the middle of the day. Airports at higher altitudes require a longer air strip due to lower air density In ancient times strangers shook hands to show that they were unarmed. Nine out of ten living things live in the ocean. Strawberries are the only fruits whose seeds grow on the outside. The roar that we hear when we place a sea shell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in our ears. Soldiers do not march in step going across bridges because they could set up a vibration which could be sufficient to knock the bridge down. Well fancy that! Marian. -1- NOTICES Fluff up your Feather Dusters We at St. Cecilia's need your help to keep the church clean and welcoming for the many people who come in throughout the year for services, weddings, baptisms etc. If done regularly it only takes 1-2 hours each month of vacuuming, polishing and dusting to maintain a 'sparkling' appearance. We know you all lead busy lives but all we are asking is for 2 hours of your time every 6 months or even just once a year! Whatever time you can give will be hugely appreciated and the more people who help, the less often that help is needed.

You could have broad band speeds of …100 times faster than today! Fast internet access and broadband is a major issue for many in Adstock and was one of the most commented on issues raised in the recent Village Survey. Currently Adstock is served by traditional telephone lines (copper wire) connected to various boxes at the Winslow exchange. Super-fast fibre broadband is now common in many cities, towns and villages across the UK since the government provided significant funding to BT/Openreach to connect 95% of homes by 2020. Unfortunately, many small villages like Adstock are not on the list for upgrading for the foreseeable future due to the cost of supplying small, remote villages There is however a potential solution that we have been working on for over 9 months with BT / Openreach that we are hopeful will deliver Super-Fast Broadband to most homes in Adstock within the next few months. For this solution to work we need the support of all villagers as the more homes we have in the scheme the more funding we can obtain and the less burden there is to find additional monies.. We are therefore hosting a community meeting at the Village Hall on Tuesday 10th October at 7.30pm to provide information, answer questions but most importantly to gain the support of as many homes as possible. We hope you can make it but if unable to attend and/ or need more information please contact Simon Walker - [email protected] / 07901854623 or John Townley - [email protected] / 01296 713685) Current Planning Applications September 2017 Current planning applications on AVDC planning portal Can be seen @ https://publicaccess.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/online- applications/search.do?action=simple Reference Address Type Status 17/03303/AOP Adstock Manor Main Street Adstock Buckinghamshire Application Awaiting MK18 2HT - Outline appliction with all matters reserved for decision the erection of three dwellings and a storage barn with one dwelling above. 17/00504/AOP Land Adjacent To The Gardens West Street Adstock Application Awaiting Buckinghamshire - Outline application with access to be decision considered and all other matters reserved for the erection of five self-build houses 17/02324/APP Adstock House East Street Adstock Buckinghamshire MK18 Application Approved 2HZ - Demolition of existing commercial building and construction of two storey dwelling. Simon Walker -4- ADSTOCK PLAY AREA MEETING On 22nd July we held an open meeting up on the Play area to find out people’s views on a possible refurbishment of the equipment. We wanted to hear from both Adult and Children on what sort of equipment is needed for the future. Over 50 Adults attended and 30 Children, even if some of them were babes in arms! What a turn out!!! And the children confirmed it had nothing to do with the free ice cream! Everyone had the chance to complete a Questionnaire and to select the best bits of equipment. We had 45 questionnaires completed and at least that number added their stickers to the board to select their favoured equipment. The favourite for both Adults and children was a Zip Wire, followed by a Climbing Dome or frame. There was a clear desire to maintain a balance regarding the age range of equipment so that for instance both older children and toddler swings were needed. A very important requirement was made clear by one of the children “As much equipment as possible must be disabled person friendly” and we have taken that very much on board. We also asked for ideas and they were very constructive, A BBQ / Picnic area with tables, Covered seating, Boules pitch, Adult exercise equipment, Interactive garden, Exploration area, more events to be held in the park etc. We are now looking at which of these ideas we can take forward ourselves i.e. BBQ /Picnic area with tables which may not cost a lot of money to provide and how we might get the ball rolling and start installing one or two pieces of new equipment bearing in mind that if we did everything we would have to raise approximately £200,000. The Fundraising Committee is meeting on the 9th October and we will then be in a position to apply for Grants and to look at possible phases for putting new equipment into the Play Area. The Parish Council will of course continue to maintain and ensure the safety of all the existing equipment. Thank you to everyone who came and contributed to the day. Neil Fraser-Smith ADSTOCK GOLF DAY Friday 27st October – All welcome We have reserved a number of tee times at Whittlebury Park Golf Club Bacon butties have been arranged for 12.00 with the golf starting at 12.45pm. After the golf we will go back to the Thatch for drinks & prize giving The total cost is £25 per person. Anyone interested in playing a very friendly round of golf please contact Simon Walker on 01296 713397, or 07901 854623 or send email to [email protected] -5- NEWS FROM ST CECILIA’S A Family Service was held on 17th September.

Whether or not the finds recorded are unique, aesthetically pleasing, damaged or broken, they all have their own stories to tell, enabling people to understand better the archaeology of Britain and their local area. These finds also drive academic research, and help archaeologists protect the historic environment. Key to the PAS’s success is the fact that so many people are willing to share their finds, of which 113,794 were recorded in 2014. It is important that these discoveries are recovered according to best practice to avoid accidental damage to archaeology, which finders can help do by following the Code of Practice for Responsible Metal Detecting.

  • The Lenborough Hoard
    THE LENBOROUGH HOARD By now, most people in Buckinghamshire with an interest in history and archaeology will know of the discovery by metal detectorists in December 2014 of a hoard of Anglo-Saxon coins buried in a lead parcel beneath farmland adjacent to the hamlet of Lenborough two kilometres from Buckingham town. Ros Tyrrell, Finds Liaison Officer for the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which is based at Bucks County Museum, was present at the discovery and so was able to carry out the painstaking task of carefully retrieving from a hole in the local heavy clay soil what must be one of the largest collections of pre-conquest mediaeval coins in the country. The following day, the Keeper of Archaeology from the County Museum drove the hoard to the British Museum, where they have been put under the care of Dr Gareth Williams, Curator of Early Medieval Coinage in the Department of Coins and Medals. On May 11th this year, he gave a talk to the Society in the Learning Zone of the Museum, to an audience that gained an insight into what a wealth of information can be won from such a gathering of coins from careful study by an expert. Dr Williams has the task of sorting and conserving more than 5,200 coins, dating from the reigns of Aethelred who ruled 978 to 1016, and Cnut, king between 1016 to 1035. The coins are in variable condition; some show little of the wear that might have resulted from circulation from hand to hand, but others are much more heavily worn.

  • A Short History of the Anglo-Saxons Opens New Windows on a Distant Yet Very Present World at a Corner of Early Medieval Europe
    I.B.TAURIS SHORT HISTORIES I.B.Tauris Short Histories is an authoritative and elegantly written new series which puts a fresh perspective on the way history is taught and understood in the twenty-first century. Designed to have strong appeal to university students and their teachers, as well as to general readers and history enthusiasts, I.B.Tauris Short Histories comprises a novel attempt to bring informed interpretation, as well as factual reportage, to historical debate. Addressing key subjects and topics in the fields of history, the history of ideas, religion, classical studies, politics, philosophy and Middle East studies, the series seeks intentionally to move beyond the bland, neutral ‘introduction’ that so often serves as the primary undergraduate teaching tool. While always providing students and generalists with the core facts that they need to get to grips with the essentials of any particular subject, I.B.Tauris Short Histories goes further. It offers new insights into how a topic has been understood in the past, and what different social and cultural factors might have been at work. It brings ori-ginal perspectives to bear on the manner of its current interpretation. It raises questions and – in its extensive bibliographies – points to further study, even as it suggests answers. Addressing a variety of subjects in a greater degree of depth than is often found in comparable series, yet at the same time in concise and compact handbook form, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to be ‘introductions with an edge’. In combining questioning and searching analysis with informed history writing, it brings history up-to-date for an increasingly complex and globalized digital age.

  • Creating Or Destroying the Archaeological Record?
    FOLIA PRAEHISTORICA POSNANIENSIA T. XXV – 2020 WYDZIAŁ ARCHEOLOGII, UAM POZNAŃ – ISSN 0239-8524 http://dx.doi.org/10.14746/fpp.2020.25.02 ARTEFACT COLLECTING: CREATING OR DESTROYING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD? ZBIERANIE ARTEFAKTÓW: TWORZENIE CZY NISZCZENIE ŹRÓDŁA ARCHEOLOGICZNEGO? Paul M. Barford https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3903-2977 Independent Researcher http://paul-barford.blogspot.com/ ABSTRACT: This paper examines some of the arguments used by archaeologists in favour of collab- orating with artefact hunters and collectors who claim that these activities produce information that is useful for archaeological research and is a form of public engagement with archaeology. It takes as a case study records of 48 600 medieval artefacts removed from archaeological contexts by artefact hunters and recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme in England and Wales. The past and potential uses of these records as an archaeological source are objectively reviewed, together with an assessment of the degree to which they provide mitigation of the damage caused to the otherwise unthreatened archaeological record. It is concluded that, although information can be obtained by studying records of findspots of addressed artefacts such as coins, in general the claims made in support of professional archaeological collaboration with this kind of activity prove to be false. KEYWORDS: artefact collecting, creating archaeological record, destroying archaeological record, ar- chaeological context In western Europe and North America, there are two main approaches to the prac- tice of hunting for and collecting of archaeological and historical artefacts. In most areas, it is condemned and restricted because it is seen as destructive to the archaeo- logical record (Elia, 1997; Temińo, Valdés, 2015).

  • AIM Newsletter 2015 April
    Archaeology in Marlow www.archaeologyinmarlow.org.uk NEWSLETTER Volume 14 Issue No: 2 April 2015 AiM’s Forthcoming Events Thursday 30th April Roman Brooches a talk by Justine Bailey, arranged by Archaeology in Marlow as a joint event for AiM and Marlow Archaeo- logical Society Roman brooches can be divided into three main groups, bow brooches, plate brooches and penannulars. All these groups are typologically very diverse which makes them relatively good chronological markers; an introduction to the diver- sity of types and their dating will be provided. Most Roman brooches were made of a range of different copper alloys, though both silver and gold were used occasionally for particular types. Most brooches have some form of decoration, and in many cases this was made of other materi- als that were added to the brooches. Commonest are a variety of styles of champlevé enamelling, and tinning. There are good correlations between date of manufacture, the alloy used to make the brooch, and most types of applied decoration. These relationships will be discussed. 8 pm Garden Room, Liston Hall, Chapel Street, Marlow, SL7 1DD Free parking in the adjacent car park after 7 pm £3 members of AIM and MAS, £4 non-members Thursday 21st May Operation Nightingale a talk by Phil Andrews of Wessex Archaeology, Site Direc- tor at Barrow Clump, Salisbury Plain Operation Nightingale is an award-winning project established by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, and involving Wessex Archaeology.
