  • R200165-H0022-Mediaeval Courts
    Account of Purley on Thames Mediaeval Courts R200165 15/1/2018 Introduction It was the Courts which administered England until the development of local authorities in the nineteenth century. They essentially made judgements on rights and obligations and settled disputes which previously had been settled by force of arms. After the retreat of Roman administration in the fifth century force of arms was about the only means of control, if you were strong, your word was law was the dictum. The result was several centuries of warfare and contest for power and it was only at the lowest level that matters could be decided by other means. In early Saxon times village affairs were dealt with at a village meeting known as a witangemoot. This was called whenever there were matters to decide, for example to elect a village chief, to settle a dispute or to commence a common venture such as harvest. They started out as meetings at which all had an equal say but as time went by the need for the development of specialist skills and for strong guidance resulted in the development of the social order which we would nowadays recognise as essentially feudal. As Christianity spread, a quite different approach to land ownership emerged. It was argued that as God created Heaven and Earth, it was all in his ownership, but it could he 'held' in His name. At the same time the concept of Kingship emerged and it was the King who held all land in his realm and who could allow his underlings in the social order to hold it from him and enjoy the benefits and privileges that landholding conveyed.

  • Parts of the Parish the Parish of Purley Is Comprised of a Number of Areas Each with Their Own Particular Character
    Account of Purley on Thames The Geography of Purley R200243 16/7/2017 General Description The Parish of Purley on Thames is situated approximately four miles west of Reading on the south side of the River Thames, in Berkshire. The ancient parish was 874 acres. This was increased to 1663 acres in 1891 by the addition of those parts of Whitchurch lying to the south of the Thames. In 1934 this was reduced to 1154 acres by the transfer of land between Purley and Sulham. There were approximately 3 acres of water in these totals. It is bounded by the Borough of Reading to the east, by Tilehurst and Sulham parishes to the south, by Pangbourne to the west and by Whitchurch and Mapledurham parishes across the Thames to the north. The Parish has two distinctive geographical parts. Alongside the river the land is flat and forms part of the Thames flood plain with gravelly subsoil. The floodplain rises gradually as it goes west and around to the Pang valley. The land rises sharply to the south up the north slope of the chalk hill which separates the Thames and Kennet valleys. The rise is sharpest in the east of the parish and begins at the banks of the Thames at the extreme east end. Here the Thames runs on the south side of its plain and it swings away to the north in a wide arc reaching the northern extreme of its plain from Mapledurham to Whitchurch. The slope is much more gentle to the west of the parish where it rises to a plateau which eventually ends on the escarpment above Nunhide.
