The parish council is very proud of our rural parish, set within some of the most beautiful countryside in England and we hope you are too. We have a dynamic and growing community of approximately 3,000 residents, with lots for everyone to get involved in and plenty of opportunities for you to broaden your skills or volunteer some time. Inside this guide, you will find details of all the local venues, clubs and associations - you will probably be surprised at the extent of activities available within our community, or just a short distance away. There are also local walks and cycle rides that will let you take in some of the breathtaking views. The parish and the surrounding area is steeped in fascinating history and there are plenty of opportunities for you to experience this. More details about our origins can be found overleaf. We hope that the information will be particularly helpful to those joining our community but also as a handy guide for everyone to keep, full of useful contact information. The first parish council in Pitstone was established at the end of 1894 and consisted of just five seats. Today our council is comprised of ten elected members of the village, who give their time voluntarily because they are passionate about Pitstone and enhancing the lives of those who live within it. We are there to represent you, and drive forward the initiatives that you identify as being important to our community. We welcome all your views and encourage you to attend our meetings or become involved in our committees, working parties and community groups. You are welcome to contact any member of the parish council, or our clerk, about local issues, and you will find all our contact details at the back of this guide. This is an exciting time for the community, and the parish council, as we strive to ensure the delivery of new leisure facilities and work with landowners about future development. It is important that the village develops in the way that you wish and we thank all of you that have taken the time to complete our surveys and attend our consultations. The future of your village is in the making.

Their fossilised bones were found during excavation for cement production at Quarry 3, which is now College Lake, along with hippopotamus, rhinoceros and mammoth bones. Evidence of a settlement in Pitstone (formerly Pightlesthorn) dates back to as early as the 6th Century. There have been findings of Iron Age and Roman material, indicating this area was extensively inhabited. Several ancient track ways linking the Chilterns to the Vale have been found. In addition several moated sites and Scheduled Ancient Monuments have also been identified. The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Picel's thorn tree'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Pincelestorne. Pitstone was given to the abbey at Ashridge by the Earl of Cornwall in 1283. In 1290 King Edward I (right) spent Christmas in Pitstone at the estate that had been given to the abbey. He stayed for five weeks, during which time he held parliament in Ashridge. His stay caused great inconvenience to the local inhabitants of the village, who were legally obliged to keep the king and his court. Pitstone was originally a farming community, including Pitstone Green Farm which is now our museum. This farm was once an important employer within the village. Farming included seasonal fruit picking such as the local plum, often known as the Aylesbury Prune, which was very popular up until the Second World War. Cereals were the most important crops (hence the windmill and old watermill and bakery located in The Mill House and Brook End Mill on the Whistlebrook and parish boundary). Although thousands of Aylesbury Ducks were fattened each year for the London market, the most important livestock was sheep. In 1866, there were 534 sheep on Pitstone Green Farm. Pitstone was also an important supplier of straw plait to the thriving hat industry in Luton, and plait schools existed in cottages where children as young as 4 were sent to learn to plait. In the 1930’s Pitstone cement works opened, which was run by The Tunnel Portland Cement Co Ltd and operated until 1991. During this time village life was dominated by the cement works, which gave work to local people. However there was a constant battle with dust and other negative environmental impacts. The site has now been demolished and has been redeveloped for housing and business use. The new housing district is named 'Castlemead' (after the Castle Cement Company who were the last operators of the site) and the business area contains numerous units, offering new opportunities for local employment. A comprehensive illustrated history of Pitstone can be found in “Pitstone 2000”. If you don’t have a copy of this book, please contact the parish clerk who will be happy to supply one free-of-charge. 4 PITSTONE TODAY Only a few of the buildings built before 1800 still exist. These include Sparrow Thatch and Robin Cottage in Chequers Lane, Moat Farm in Vicarage Road, Whitefriars in Old Farm, Cocksparrow Cottage on Marsworth Road and 4 thatched cottages at The Green. Over the years, many housing developments have been created, the most recent and extensive being the Castlemead estate which is shortly due to finish construction. Plans are still being formed for a new village centre which will lie around the existing recreation ground and provide a focal point for Pitstone, joining the old with the new. We are lucky enough to live in a village where our landscape is characterised by gently undulating hills lying before the Chiltern foothills. The area is crossed by numerous streams and brooks fed by local springs. The Grand Union Canal wraps around the west and north, and you can still see extensive arable farming. In the wetter areas you will find willow trees and on the higher ground, plenty of oak and ash. The village benefits from several employment opportunities with the introduction of the business park and several well established firms such as Safran Power UK, Colbree Engineering, White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors and Grebe Canal Cruises. Pitstone also has excellent education provision for 2-12 year olds, with Windmill Pre-School awarded “outstanding” status by OFSTED and Brookmead Primary School one of the best performing primary school in the local area. The early census in 1801 recorded just 275 residents. Our last census in 2011 showed that Pitstone has grown to almost 3,000 residents, one third of which are under 18 years, so we have a large young population to cater for. Our population has grown steeply over the last 10 years and although this may slow, we can expect another 120-140 houses over the next 20 years. Housing development in the parish has already funded (or part funded) many community benefits such as the extension to the Memorial Hall, cycle paths, the sports pavilion and football pitches, children’s play equipment, the provision of open space and the allotments. All your feedback at various consultation events is now helping to shape the development plans for further recreational facilities that will commence with an exciting new play space, skate park and multi-use ball games court on the recreation ground. So this is a very exciting time for our parish, as our future begins to unfold. 5 PLACES OF INTEREST TO VISIT - PITSTONE Pitstone Green Museum, Pitstone (map ref 2) Located in Vicarage Road, opposite the Memorial Hall. The Collection is housed in farm buildings, many of which have remained unaltered since the farm was built. Indeed many of the implements and machinery exhibited are those that were used during the working lifetime of this farm. The farm, was largely built by the Countess of Bridgewater and is unusual in that it has been occupied by the Hawkins family since 1808. It was built on the site of earlier farms and some of the old buildings survive to this day. Most prominent of these is the Big Barn, a section of which dates from the 17th century. The museum also contains many items and photographs of people and places that are part of the history of Pitstone, Ivinghoe and the surrounding villages. The museum is run by the Pitstone & Ivinghoe Museum Society and is open to the public on the second Sunday of the month from June to September and all Bank Holiday Mondays. There is ample free parking and refreshments are available.

  • Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016
    Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016 January 2011 Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016 GreenGreen Space Space Strategy Strategy 2011 2011 - 2016 - 2016 Our Vision In Dacorum, we aspire to protect and enhance our natural environment, heritage and habitats. With the involvement of the community, we will create attractive, sustainable, accessible and well-managed green spaces. Foreword Dacorum benefits from a tremendous resource of high quality parks and recreation areas, set within some of the most remarkable landscapes in the country. Our fantastic green spaces are one of the main reasons people choose to live, work, and visit here. This strategy sets out our commitment to manage and protect this legacy, to ensure it remains intact for current and future generations. The quality of some of Dacorum’s green spaces has deteriorated over time through the ageing of facilities and infrastructure, and new investment is required. This strategy gives us the impetus and tools to improve their quality and to help deliver what local communities want from their neighbourhoods. We will improve facilities, and encourage residents to become more involved in managing their local green spaces. We aim to balance the needs of the community with the demands on our service, working wherever possible to combat climate change and alleviate the pressures of the modern age. We have a number of challenges to face in the future, not least in providing enough homes for the community. This strategy provides a strong framework to help manage, refresh, and create new green spaces.

  • Waterway Forum Q&A Autumn 2015
    WATERWAY FORUM Q&A AUTUMN 2015 Q1/ What rights do cyclists have when using Canal & River towpaths? Cylists have permissive access to towpaths across the UK. The Canal and River Trust’s towpath code encourages cyclists to observe pedestrian priority, especially in areas where the towpath is not very wide and there is low visibility. We would encourage cyclists to drop their pace in busy areas and ring bells to alert other users. CRT launched a national campaign in October to ‘Share the Space’ to encourage considerate use of the towpath by all users. Events have taken place along the towpath to raise awareness in Berkhamsted and Apsley so far. We are keen to work with cycling and community groups to organise more events across the region Q2/ Why are we having so many instances of very low water levels on the pound where Dunstable District Boat Club is located at Cooks Wharf, Pitstone? The primary problem in this area is gate leakage. There are several substantial leaks on gates between Cooks Wharf and Horton. This situation is further exasperated by the unauthorised water running that seems to be taking place. It is apparent that on occasion individuals are filling pounds with little or no regard for anyone who may be mooring in the pound above. This is not to excuse the gate leakage defects that need to be addressed by Canal & River Trust. A stoppage for this area is planned for 11/01/2016 – 26/02/2016 Q3/ I am concerned about the neglect of the 18 locks between Leighton Buzzard and Cowroast.

Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment. This forms part of the evidence that classifies settlements into different categories, where different levels of growth are apportioned to over the next 20 years.

  • Cheddington Parish Council Notes/Pc Update As at 5Th May 2020 Residents Updates
    CHEDDINGTON PARISH COUNCIL NOTES/PC UPDATE AS AT 5TH MAY 2020 RESIDENTS UPDATES • Cheddington Neighbourhood Watch – Volunteering Information During Coronavirus Email received from Gail Steed OBO Chedd-eroo (received 1st May) Update news for the Parish Council is as follows: Chedd-eroo has now been a group for over 6 weeks. They have 98 volunteers from Cheddington and Cooks Wharf and all are giving support in some way, except for 6 who are on standby. They are presently supporting 148 households, 4 doctors’ surgeries & 2 Food Banks. The Food Bank arrangement for Cheddington residents is in its second week and working really well. The Food Banks were very thankful for the donations. Ivinghoe Food Bank have already been receiving calls from Cheddington residents needing help. Therefore, with the volunteers now settled into supporting the elderly and smoothly delivering medication, their focus has moved to young families with no food due to a change in their circumstances during Covid 19. Chedd-eroo has been allowed by Bucks CC to pass the government food parcels that are not wanted to those in need in Cheddington. Another area that Chedderoo has helped with is getting cash out for elderly residents with no way of paying for their shopping. This was done with police approval. Carol Lister and Gail Steed are really pleased with how the Chedderoo volunteers support is making a real difference to many residents and also that they are reducing footfall at doctors’ surgeries. TO RECEIVE ANY UPDATES FROM COUNTY AND DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Nothing to report. CLERK’S REPORT - to note updates to ongoing matters • Home to School Transport (HTST) – Nothing to report.

  • Summer Moths
    The group of members at Holtspur who had just been clearing scrub, refreshing the information boards, clearing the footpath of obstructions, removing seedling shrubs from the ‘wrong place’ and planted them into the central hedge and the windbreak on Lower Field, clearing dogwood from Triangle Bank, making a small scallop into the top hedge, checking wobbly posts and making repairs to the fencing. Nick Bowles Planting disease resistant elms in the Planting disease resistant elms in Lye Valley, Oxon - in the rain! Bottom Wood, Bucks. Peter Cuss Peter Cuss I will be pleased to see the spring (which seems very slow to arrive this year) for a variety of reasons. One, is to relax after the large number of work parties. I haven’t kept a list of the number of the tasks we attended in previous winters but this year we advertised and we had members working at 46 conservation tasks. As a group of people that love butterflies and moths (and therefore cherish the places in which they live) we can take pride and feel relief, that our expertise has positively influenced the management of those places. Our volunteers have acted to halt, and hopefully reverse, the decline in numbers and their efforts have been magnificent. Our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Butterflies.Berkshire.Buckinghamshire.Oxfordshire/)bears witness to the large numbers of members involved. Furthermore, I haven’t included events such as Elm tree planting (by small groups of members), the nurturing of seedlings by many members, the preparation of display board information for our reserve and a number of other largely individual acts which took place during the same winter season.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.
