This was noted and investigated by TfB. • In response to a question members were advised that Property Services were responsible for the building where Wendover Community Library was based (concern was expressed that this was about to collapse). • Simon Dudley explained that there had been problems with weedkilling this year caused by wind and the very wet winter which resulted in the normal die back not occurring. A programme of spraying was in place in the urban areas. • Rob Anderson apologised for the road closures which were occurring in order to allow repair work to take place. Members commended the officers for their work and noted that Churchill Avenue looked great. 7 THAMES VALLEY NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICE UPDATE Inspector James Davies provided an update from Thames Valley Police and made the following points: • There were 3 officers working at Wendover Police Station and 3 PCSOs in the Wendover area. • Crimes committed had been reduced by 14%. • No robberies had taken place and burglaries were down by 14%, and thefts of motor vehicles were down by 37%. • As the nights were drawing in and Halloween was approaching caution was expressed that it was more obvious if people were not at home and lights were not switched on. • Operation Artic will be taking place between 6 October and 31 January will involve more active patrols in Wendover. • Operation Articulate on 2 September was in relation to child sexual exploitation and resulted in 12 men being charged and remanded. The crimes against 2 victims took place between approximately 2005 and 2012. Members were advised that this was a national issue where girls who were often in care were being exploited and members were urged to be vigilant. • The Vice Chairman thanked Thames Valley Police for removing the car on Weston Road which had been discussed at the last meeting. • It was noted that there was an ongoing issue with parking on London Road. Members were advised that parking on a junction was advisable but not enforceable. Anne James explained that if parking takes place on yellow lines BCC would be able to enforce. • It was noted that the Wendover Society had complained about high speed motorcycles on Saturdays and Sundays on the Wendover bypass. This was noted. 8 PLANNING ISSUES The Vice Chairman reported that Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) had received some opportunist Planning Applications. A Forum would be taking place at the Oculus on 16 October at 6.30pm which will provide Parish and town councils with the opportunity to explain the technical reports. The deadline for receiving an indication of the number of houses required is February 2015. AVDC hopes to ensure that there is no brownfield land which can be used. It is anticipated that by mid-October details of what the local needs are will have been obtained. 6 Members were advised that the AVDC timetable will be non-negotiable. The Chairman encouraged parishes to provide information and not to be complacent. 9 RAT RUNNING THROUGH ASTON CLINTON AND WESTON TURVILLE The Chairman reported that the traffic lights between Bedgrove and the Tescos on Tring Road had been paid for by Arla and the general perception was that fewer people were using the A41. During the construction phase more people started driving through Weston Turville, using New Road in Aston Clinton and there had also been an increase in traffic on Turnfurlong and Brougton Avenue since the new lights had been constructed. Anne James explained that the issues appeared to have arisen not because of Arla but because of the construction work and resulted in people not returning to use the A41. Members were advised that it will be necessary to look at traffic modelling. Officers had identified the need to put in another relief road and the new Western link road will change the way traffic flows through Aylesbury. It was suggested and agreed that Richard Smith be invited to a future meeting. It was suggested that the priority on Tring Hill be changed in order to avoid diverting the problem to Wendover. 10 PAVEMENT PARKING IN LONDON ROAD, ASTON CLINTON This item had been covered earlier in the meeting. 11 UPDATE ON COLLEGE ROAD SOUTH Paul Hodson reported that the informal consultation had been completed and that 13 responses were for the proposal, 1 against and 2 were neutral.

  • Local Priorities
    APPENDIX A Wendover Local Area Forum Local Priorities 2014 Wendover Local Area Forum (LAF) invited its Youth Forum to run its local priorities process which involved consulting with residents to see if the LAF should revise its local priorities. Residents in the local area parishes (Aston Clinton, Buckland, Drayton Beauchamp, Halton, Stoke Mandeville, Wendover and Weston Turville) were surveyed and invited to rank their priorities and provide comment on the reasons behind these rankings. The local priorities budget will be allocated to the top actionable local priorities, subject to agreement by the Wendover Parish Council provided a stand at Wendover LAF, so over the next two years work Market. Here the young people are joined by local MP, can be undertaken to take forward David Lidington. projects and schemes to address these priorities. Another aspiration of this project Doing this project has helped me to understand was to enable the Youth Forum to play the needs in the community. I met people that lived in my area that I didn’t know. The things a wider role in the LAF and also to take that we have worked on in the forum have made a lead in the local democratic process. a difference and we can see things starting to Wendover Local Area Forum is happen. Because of the Youth Forum, I got to represent also the first to devolve a budget to its young people across the area and share my Youth Forum to work on the priority: thoughts and ideas with BCC Youth Service, Activities and facilities for young which affects things for the future.

  • Half a Million Years of Life in Bucks. Theresa Wren
    Human: Half a Million Years of Life in Bucks. Theresa Wren UCL Institute of Archaeology Since George Liscombe’s Victoria County History (1831-1847 and 1905-1927) subsequent comprehensive studies of Buckinghamshire County history have been scarce. The exhibition Human (6th March-11th July 2010) and its accompanying publication; An Illustrated History of Early Buckinghamshire, (Farley 2010), aim to resolve such a hiatus. Both book and exhibition chronicle the local archaeology, spanning over a century of fieldwork, and places local level archaeology within an epic narration of human history. Presenting local archaeology thus lends it with the wider relevance that will hopefully inspire increased patronage of local museums, presently about to be hardest hit by current economic policies. The exhibition is a collaborative achievement by the Buckinghamshire County Museum curatorial team. Both exhibition and book are divided into five time periods, threaded together by themes intrinsic to all human communities; living, dying, fighting, climate and food. Time is rendered dimensionally as well as visually by colour-coordinated plaques of varying thickness and a painted blue line running from reception to exhibition room indicating the Ice Age, all on a relative scale. Therefore, the timescale of human history is experienced physically and this works as an effective mnemonic device. Larger than life portraits of past individuals by Alan Marshall were specially commissioned by the museum to welcome the visitor to each new period. These are not scientific reconstructions but primarily drawn from briefs containing information on the remains and burial goods of locally recovered individuals. Marshall’s final likenesses are based on his own family members, rendering these beautiful illustrations warm and accessible.

  • Drayton Beauchamp
    DRAYTON BEAUCHAMP IV. MANORIAL HISTORY. The account of Drayton Beauchamp, in the "Domes- day Survey," is as follows :— " The lands of Earl Morton; in Erlai Hundred. "In Drayton, William, the son of Nigel, holds one hide and a half. The arable one carucate; the pasture one carucate; and woods for twenty-five hogs. It is valued, and always has been valued, at twenty shillings. This land was held previously by the widow of Brictric, and she had power to sell it. In the same village, Lipsi holds of tlie Earl one hide and a half, and two-thirds of a virgate. The arable is one caru- cate. There are two villeins,* two serfs, one carucate of pasture, and woods for twenty-five hogs. It is valued, and always has been valued, at seventy shillings. This land was previously held by a vassal of King Edward, and he was entitled to sell it. "The lands of Magno Brito, in Erlai Hundred. "In Drayton, Helgot holds of Magno Brito six hides and three virgates for one manor and three acres. The arable land is four caru- cates. In the demesne is one, and thirteen villeins have three carucates. There are two servants, three carucates of pasture, and woods for two hundred hogs. The whole is worth, and is valued at, four pounds — in the time of King Edward one hundred shillings. Aluric, a thane of King Edward's, held this manor and could sell it." By the foregoing account, which was given between fourteen and twenty years after the Conquest, we find that all the Saxon proprietors had been dispossessed, and that their lands had passed into the hands of two Norman Chieftains — the Earl of Morton and Magno Brito.

  • This Document in Pdf Format
    Five Hundred Years of Grainges Grainges in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and London, and related Buckinghamshire families 3rd Edition – December 2006 Pam Griffiths Acknowledgements and Disclaimers I would like to thank the staff of all the record offices and libraries I have used in researching my family. While all of them have been supportive and helpful, most deserving of mention is the staff at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies, whose unstinting patience with my questions and requests for documents has been immensely appreciated. I would also like to thank my cousin Janet Summers and my distant cousin Danny Neilsen, whose help and encouragement have been invaluable, who have unearthed numerous sources that I missed, and who understand what it is to be obsessed by family history. My thanks also go to those members of my extended family whom I pestered for information and finally to my immediate family, who – if my daughter is to be believed – spent half their family holidays in graveyards. I am grateful to Philip Gower for his meticulous care in cross-checking text and trees. However, I am quite sure that, despite repeated proof-reading and meticulous research, there are some errors in this document. Suggested corrections, comments or amendments will be willingly received. Spelling and Dates These are both problematical issues in family history. It is not unusual to find a surname spelt two different ways in the same document. I have tried, in the body of the text, to use the spelling which seemed most commonly adopted by each individual, but, in the case of those who couldn’t write, this is a somewhat arbitrary choice.
