  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd Nature of the Evidence the S
    Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd Nature of the evidence The Sites and Monuments Records for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes attributes 1622 records (monuments and find spots) to the Iron Age and a further 144 records to the Middle or Late Bronze Age representing about 9.4% of total SMR records. Also, many formally undated cropmark sites probably actually date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age. In addition evidence for the survival of putatively prehistoric landscapes into modern times needs to be considered (see landscape section). Later prehistoric sites have been recognised in Buckinghamshire since the 19th century with useful summaries of the state of knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth century being provided by the Royal Commission for Historical Monuments and Victoria County History. Essentially knowledge was restricted to a few prominent earthwork monuments and a handful of distinctive finds, mostly from the Chilterns and Thames (Clinch, 1905; RCHME, 1912 & 1913). By 1955 Jack Head was able to identify a concentration of Iron Age hillforts, settlement sites and finds along the Chiltern scarp along with a few sites (mainly hillforts) on the dipslope and a scattering of sites along the Thames. A few of these sites, notably Bulstrode and Cholesbury Camps and an apparently open settlement on Lodge Hill, Saunderton had been investigated by trial trenching (Head, 1955, 62-78). By 1979 it was possible to draw upon a wider range of evidence including modern excavations, aerial photography and environmental archaeology referring to sites in the Ouse valley as well as the Chilterns, open settlements as well as hillforts and evidence for extensive open grassland environments from the Bronze Age onwards (Reed, 1979, 35-41).

INTRODUCTION This study of Thomley (S P 631090) covers the period 1086-1349, with emphasis on the 13th and early 14th centuries. ILs main purpose is to explain the eventual desertion of the settlement through an examination of land-tenure and local society. While there are indications that smallholders, even those with half a yardland or less, were not badly off, it is equally clear that the village was declining in this period: between 1279 and 1377 the recorded population dropped by at least a third. Thomley's final extinction lay in the 16th-century enclosures, but its decay can probably be traced back to earlier circumstances: its marginal position between two larger villages, the lack of any focus such as a church or market, and a tendency for holdings to pass into the hands of outside proprietors.

  • Ickford Parish Council
    Ickford Parish Council The Oxford-Cambridge Expressway This article is to raise awareness about the proposed Oxford-Cambridge Expressway. Planning of the proposed new road so far Much has been written about the proposed new road and its possible impact on Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The Government’s perspective is given in many documents, and two key ones can be found here https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/partnering-prosperity-new-deal-cambridge-milton-keynes-oxford-arc/ https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/future-development-concepts/ The planning that has taken place so far has mostly been carried out by Highways England (a Government company) in secret. There is a list of registered stakeholders (including county councils, businesses, wildlife trusts etc.) who are invited to periodic presentations by Highways England, but there has not been consultation of any sort with the affected communities. Local Councils should have alerted Local Parishes which in turn should have alerted their parishioners, but this hasn’t happened robustly, and in some cases, the Local Councils claim to have been kept in the dark. In short, there has been no regular flow of information from the planners to the affected communities. There were some meetings in November for Parish Councillors and registered Stakeholders to attend, but none of these involved the local communities. Indeed, most communities and Parish Councils do not feel empowered to, or know how to, contribute and try to affect Highways England’s planning. Across the arc of the corridor, the Government wants to build one million new homes by 2050, housing about 2 million more people.
