Aylesbury in the Civil War ;. {ZEablLDS 0)? Goats QDL.¢-hl_ 7—09/ AYLESBURY IN THE CIVIL WAR GEORGE LAMB The part played by Aylesbury during the Civil War is re-examined and an account given ofmilitory events in the neighbourhood. The strategic position of the town and the importance that Parliament placed on the maintenance ofits garrison and defences are explained. The discovery of the remains of the earthworks during development at Green End House and The Prebendal, and the likely'extent ofthefortifications, are discussed.

  • Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
    Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities. Countywide Priorities Befriending Community Transport Aylesbury Vale North Priorities Affordable Day Activities Gentle Exercise Low Cost Gardening Services Dementia Services Social Gardening Men in Sheds Outreach for Carers Background data Physical Area The Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is just less than 200 square miles in terms of land area (500 square kilometres).

  • 406 the BUILDING of WINSLOW HALL the Compression Which
    406 RECORDS OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE THE BUILDING OF WINSLOW HALL The compression which Lysons had to apply to his "Magna Britannia" saved him from pitfalls; thus in speaking of Winslow he merely remarked: "Mr. Selby has a seat at Winslow which was built by Secretary Lowndes in the year 1700" (p. 668). When Lipscomb wrote forty years later he was less cautious, for after mentioning the " commodious plain brick edifice with a flight of several steps to the door, over which is the date of its erection, 1700', and the name of William Lowndes," he adds the fatal words "for whom it was built by Inigo Jones " (vol. III., p. 544). Sheahan blindly copied this blunder, Gibbs swal- lowed it in his usual easy way, the Dictionary of National Biography (art. Lowndes) fared no better, and a host of lesser lights went on repeating it until it occurred to someone that as Inigo Jones died in 1652 he could hardly have had much to do with the matter. Mr. A. Clear, Winsiow's latest and best historian, saw the trap, and ascribed the house either to Wren or to Yanbrugh, who was brought into the neighbourhood when he designed the County Hall at Aylesbury. The matter may have been brought nearer to a decision by the discovery of a full and most detailed account of the construction drawn up by, or for, the famous "Ways and Means Lowndes" himself. This is a foolscap book (14 inches by 9 inches), bound in the original parchment covers, with tape fastenings; the watermark of the paper is a fleur de lys sur- mounted by a crown, and with the initials W.
