Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened.

Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee.

  • THE DESECRATED CHURCHES of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. As It Is Not
    THE DESECRATED CHURCHES OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. (Continued from Page 85.) DEANERY OF BURN HAM. As it is not the object of these papers to notice Churches attached to Conventual Establishments, unless they were required also for parochial Services, the Chapel which belonged to the monastery at Burnham must be passed over, which leaves only two in this Deanery to be noticed, and these are both in the parish of Chesham. GROVE is an ancient Manor which for many generations belonged to the Cheynes, of Drayton Beauchamp. They had a Mansion there, which, says Lysons, appears to have been strongly fortified, and this is confirmed by the site having still the remains of two moats around it. In the year 1585, John Cheyne of Chesham Bois and Drayton Beauchamp, the same who presented Hooker to the Rectory of Drayton, left Grove to his eldest son, John Cheyne, whom he had disinherited, — but for what reason does not appear, though the epitaph on his tomb, in the Church at King's Langley, indicates that he remained a Roman Catholic, whereas his father had become a zealous Protestant. — Lysons says there was a Chapel at Grove, and at my request the Rev. Bryant Burgess visited it, and has kindly given me the following report: — "The building stands East and West, and there has been a burial ground to the South. Tradition also calls it a Chapel. But I find nothing ecclesiastical in the architecture; and it evidently consisted of two stories. It appears to have been the refectory of a Religious house, with small build- ings, probably dormitories, attached to it.

This delay has been caused mainly by the discovery, during the preparation of the work, that many of the documents which go to make up a Sessions Roll had become misplaced. It was thus necessary to examine and arrange all the rolls for a period long after the date when this calendar was likely to end, in order to ensure that all records covering the period would be brought together and noted in the calendar.

  • DOMESTIC WALL PAINTINGS at CHALFONT ST. PETER, GREAT PEDNOR and ELSEWHERE E
    DOMESTIC WALL PAINTINGS AT CHALFONT ST. PETER, GREAT PEDNOR and ELSEWHERE E. CLIVE ROUSE, F.S.A. Two important additions to Buckinghamshire's already quite impressive list of Elizabethan and Jacobean domestic wall paintings should be recorded, namely, in a house (now demolished) at Chalfont St. Peter, and at Great Pednor Manor, Chesham. In addition, one or two minor items should be mentioned which give further proof, if any be needed, of the very widespread practice of mural decoration at that period, even in quite humble dwellings. CHALFONT ST. PETER The house in which the paintings occurred formerly stood on the east side of the High Street, forming, in fact, the street frontage of the quadrangle known as the Barrack Yard, into which a high, covered, timbered gateway led. The entire block was demolished in the autumn of 1938, having been condemned by the local surveyor— the worst of many unnecessary blows to its old buildings that this village has suffered at the hands of the local authority, its ancient character having now been practically destroyed. It was in the course of the demolition that the full extent of the wall painting was revealed. The house is listed as item No. 9 under Chalfont St. Peter in the Royal Commission's inventory.1 As long ago as 1918, some evidence of colour was noticed; and I recorded one panel of painting on the street gable, over what was then Ranee's greengrocery shop, in 1927,3 mentioning that there were other indications of painting. As the rooms were then occupied, it was not possible to make further investigations at that time.
