  • 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. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • Lca 13.5 Misbourne Upper Chalk River Valley
    LCA 13.5 MISBOURNE UPPER CHALK RIVER VALLEY LCA in Context LCA XX LCA 13.5 MISBOURNE UPPER CHALK RIVER VALLEY KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Shallow chalk valley, gently sloping and indented by smaller dry valleys to produce smoothly rolling valley sides, with a relatively wide, flat bottomed floodplain. Valley sides steepening in the upper reaches. • On the valley sides the underlying chalk, and free draining lime-rich soils predominately support arable cultivation, with some calcareous grassland and woodland on higher slopes. • Ancient and semi-natural woodland associated with higher slopes and dry valleys, creating a visual boundary of the area, including mixed, broadleaved and coniferous woodland, which possess significant biodiversity and ecological value. • The valley floor is characterised by rough grassland, permanent pasture and paddocks, and divided into smaller scale fields, by low hedges and wooden post and wire fencing. • The narrow and gently flowing Misbourne River, meanders down the valley, with occasional ponds often located near farmsteads or small villages. The river often runs unnoticeably through this lower landscape. • A string of hamlets and farmsteads exist along the valley floor, with nucleated rows of larger settlements focused along roads. The larger village of Great Missenden is situated in the northern part of the area. Distinctive churches are often a feature of villages. • Post medieval parkland at Shardeloes and Missenden Abbey. Shardeloes House is a visually prominent feature on the valley side. • Varying patterns of field enclosure, with a mix of regular and irregular field boundaries. Large scale fields dominate the valley sides, with smaller scale field divisions along the valley floor.
