Various entertainments were linked to each decade, featuring comedy sketches, singers, dancers and a magician. The performers represented many of the organisations who use the hall regularly, including the Stoke Poges Players, the WI, the Ondine Academy of Dance and The Scouts. Piano accompaniment was by the incomparable John Orchard. The Village Hall trustees invited Victoria Secretan, great-granddaughter of Walter Albert Judd (of Holly Hill House, now the site of Pioneer House) who was one of the founding donors who helped pay for the hall to be built. Also present were Victoria’s cousin, Julian Judd and Michael Mobbs and his daughter, Sandra. Michael Mobbs is the grandson of Sir Noel Mobbs (1878-1959), founder of Slough Diana le Estates and former Lord of the Manor of Stoke Poges. The Mobbs Memorial Trust Clercq reads made a large grant towards the building of the hall extension, completed in 1997 the poem and the Trust has regularly made grants to improve amenities in the hall.

  • Iver Motorway Service Area Response, February 2021
    President: Rt.Hon. the Lord Randall of Uxbridge Kt.PC. Planning Service Buckinghamshire Council King George V House King George V Road Amersham HP6 5AW February 2021 Dear Sir/Madam Re: Planning application PL/20/4332/0A Motorway Service Area between Junctions 15 and 16 near Iver Heath This application falls within the Colne Valley Regional Park (CVRP) and the Green Belt. Buckinghamshire Council and the former Chiltern and South Bucks Councils have been supporters of the CVRP since its inception. We hope the Council will continue to uphold the six objectives of the CVRP since this application represents the loss of farmland; the loss of 46 Ha of the CVRP and the Green Belt in a sensitive location; harm to recreational rights of way; harm to watercourses which run through the development, and the loss of, and harm to, existing grassland, woodland, hedgerows and their accompanying biodiversity. • This response to the planning application also looks at the case for the Motorway Service Areas affecting the CVRP, including the one in this location • The strategic planning context and the impact on the Green Belt • The extent of the harm arising from the scheme and • The scale of mitigation that should accompany the development if the very special circumstances’ (VSC) were to be accepted by the decision maker (whether the Council or Secretary of State). The case for an MSA in this location This application for a motorway service area is one of three currently being considered by local authorities along the north-western edge of the M25. All the operators state that there is a need for an MSA on this stretch of motorway between the existing Cobham and South Mimms MSAs.

A right wing group seeks to rise roughshod over relationships that have endured for decades. Many citizens would like to return to how it was in the 1960s. Others feel what they were promised in the 1970s is different to how things have turned out. Meanwhile, remainers are striving to find any legal means to prevent what the government intends. Yes, we have to face it – the plans for a Unitary Council in Buckinghamshire are not going well. As the erstwhile Bucks district councils plan legal action against the Secretary of State’s scheme, one wonders again just why our County Councillor is so, to use his phrase, ‘delighted’, at Mr Brokenshire’s decision. Some call for a ‘Buxit’ with us re-locating in the Royal Borough and I recommend Virginia Silvester’s article in this issue on the evolution of Bucks’ borders to get an idea of how Dorney came to be poised on the edge of two counties. Anybody reading the Parish Council minutes in this issue will see how our representatives believe that decisions over liaison with the M4 Project are being taken far to the north of Dorney.

This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not conclusive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained on behalf of BGT by experts in appraising designed landscapes who have worked extensively for English Heritage on its Register Upgrade Project. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Policy Planning Framework and including an overview.

  • 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.
