  • Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014)
    Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014) Taplow is here because it is high. The story started some 10,000 years ago when Stone Age wanderers arrived on the southerly spur of the Chilterns to discover the perfect place for a settlement – a defensible hill complete with a freshwater pool mystical for being where none should be. They began one of the oldest settlements in England, possibly the oldest in Buckinghamshire. Their Bronze Age and Iron Age successors fortified the hilltop overlooking the River Thames, for centuries a frontier fought for by Saxons, Angles and Danes, eventually the natural boundary between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Sometime around 620, a burial mound was piled high in the south-west corner of the hill fort. There is no historical record of any Saxon, Angle or Viking lord called Tæppa but excavations in 1883 indicated that whoever was laid here was pagan and important, possibly a king or a prince stationed here to defend the frontier. His treasures are in the British Museum, still the third- richest find from England’s Dark Ages. The mystical pool is nearby. Legend has it that St Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxfordshire), came in about 635 to embrace Taplow’s ancient pagan pomp and circumstance by adopting this as a holy place for Christian baptism. It has long been known as Bapsey Pond. The original St Nicholas’ Church was built by the Mound in the late-7th Century, replaced after 600 years, relocated to its current site in 1828 and substantially rebuilt in 1912 to incorporate the chancel of 1865.

  • 1 MYNAH BIRDS by Nick Warburton Ambitious
    MYNAH BIRDS By Nick Warburton Ambitious, charismatic and dripping in raw talent, Ricky James Matthews (b. James Ambrose Johnson, 1 February 1948, Buffalo, NY, US; d. 6 August 2004) didn’t take long to capitalise on his sharp looks, soulful voice and US navy uniform after he landed in Toronto in August 1964. Within weeks of his arrival, the young singer found himself fronting the aptly titled Sailorboys, a raucous R&B outfit that subsequently evolved into the Mynah Birds. Unbeknown to his musical cohorts, however, Matthews was a wanted man by the US authorities. His failure to report for active duty with the USS Enterprise and a fear of arrest had prompted the young singer to flee across the border. Interestingly, it was not Matthews’ first brush with the authorities, for as a teenager he had been arrested on several occasions for stealing cars. Indeed, throughout his career Matthews would have numerous run-ins with the law, culminating in a prison sentence in the mid- 1990s. While Matthews later enjoyed a string of hits for Motown Records in the late 1970s/early 1980s as funk star Rick James, little is known about his early life, particularly his involvement in the Toronto rock scene during the 1960s. And perhaps it would have remained that way had it not been for the fact that the Mynah Birds also briefly included Canadian rock legend, Neil Young (b. 12 November 1945, Toronto, Canada). Even so, it would be a gross oversight to view the group as merely a footnote to Rick James and Neil Young’s careers.
