TT0708-158 TT No.158: Paul Roth - Tues 1st January 2008; South Midlands League Div. 2; Mursley United vs. Padbury Utd; Res: 3-2; Att: 50(?); Entry: £1 with 8-page Programme; Weather: Bright but cold. Mursley is not the venue you would expect Groundhoppers en-masse, from many far-flung corners of the kingdom to congregate, but this New Year's day fixture against local rivals Padbury had that exact effect, as many 'hoppers turned out, no doubt relishing the noon kick-off which would allow them to do a 'Double'. Set deep in the rolling pastures of rural Buckinghamshire, about 6 miles West of Leighton Buzzard, Mursley is a small village with a short High Street, pub, and a- better-than-I'd-expected football ground. Found along Station Road, the Recreation Ground boasts a small all-weather 5-a-side football pitch, clubhouse (welcome hot tea and refreshments served therein) and changing rooms. There are wooden bench-type seats in front of the club pavilion and this is covered too, making for a nice little stand which would easily house everyone that usually rocks up here on matchdays. The field of play is roped-off and the wooden dugouts on the far side of the pitch back onto lush meadows full of grazing sheep. Bob Dixon, the club secretary had kindly reserved me two programmes....one for my mate Geoff Seers who was coming independently to myself, and I'm glad I'd put my order in as they soon ran out. 8 pages constitute the magazine, and although it won't win prizes, it was most welcome nonetheless. I had predicted a landslide win for the home side as Padbury are perennial strugglers (your words Duncan or were they mine?) in the league, but as ever, my forecasts were way off the mark as Padbury defied the odds to hold out until almost the last kick of the game when Mursley got their third and points-clinching last goal. A most entertaining game of football and to cap of an enjoyable day Geoff and I made a more than pleasant sojourn to the GBG listed Swan public house in nearby Stewkley, before making our respective ways home. FGIF Rating: 4*. 06/20 .

The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus. It is Domesday Book,1 was right in saying that it almost, one might say, a Holy Grail, and sub• is in fact central to many of the great questions ject to many interpretations designed to fit this of early English history.

Swanbourne History Trail
Swanbourne History Trail BACKGROUND TO THE VILLAGE The village of Swanbourne can trace its roots back to Anglo- Saxon times. The first mention of ‘Suanaburna’ comes in a document of 792 relating to the granting by King Offa of the parishes of Winslow, Granborough and Little Horwood for the establishment of St. Alban’s Abbey. The name probably means ‘peasant’s brook’, and so originally referred to the stream which flows along the western border of the parish, rather than the village itself. At the time of the Doomsday Book in 1086, the parish was divided between 5 landholders, although one of these was extremely small. One of the major landholders was King William (The Bastard or Conqueror) who took over land belonging to King Harold. William’s half-brother the Count of Mortain also held land, and the other two major landholders were Walter Giffard and William, son of Ansculf. In 1206, much of the village lands were granted to Woburn Abbey, but following Henry VIII’s dissolution of the Abbey in 1538, the land and Overlordship of the Manor of Swanbourne was sold on to the Fortescues, then the Adams, then the Deverells and finally the Fremantles. This trail starts from The Betsey Wynne public house which was opened in July 2006. The pub takes its name from Betsey Fremantle (nee Wynne), wife of Thomas Fremantle, who was a captain in the Royal Navy and a close friend of Admiral Nelson. Thomas and Betsey, together with their new-born son, also called Thomas, moved to Swanbourne in 1798.

The Carpenters Arms Stewkley Tel: 01525 240029
AUGUST 2020 back to business new normal at the carps toilets, which operate on a one‐in‐one‐out basis, or going outside to smoke. Tables have been removed to ensure social distancing guidelines are met and where they can not be moved a screen has been installed. The Grapevine asked landlady, Jakie Spencer, how people had responded to them re‐opening and how it had affected the shop service they had been running. Jakie said, “When we first opened business was at a very gentle pace, this, I think, was down to people being very cautious and possibly not being used to going out. ‘The shop we started to help people with basics seems to have slowed down now everyone can get to the shops themselves, but we still have a few people using us for bits and pieces. “There have been quite a few new faces coming in, as well as our regular clientele returning.” Jakie also told us, “At the moment we can't offer any music, and quizzes would be tricky with the current social distancing measures in place, unless we had an outside quiz… now there's a possibility…maybe garden bingo as well! “We are working on a bottle bar for the garden so anyone in the back garden doesn't have to keep going into the bar area. We will be carrying on with the takeaway service as quite a few people have found it useful and will hopefully continue to do so.” Jakie added, “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all Clay and Jakie Spencer welcome their first postlockdown customer those who helped us through these trying times and to reassure everyone that we will be doing our utmost to make sure they feel to The Carpenters Arms safe and comfortable at the Carpenters during their visit.” It may have been Independence Day in America but July 4 2020 was also a day to celebrate for anyone in Stewkley who likes to pop to NHS SPITFIRE FLYPAST their local for a drink.

Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities.

406 the BUILDING of WINSLOW HALL the Compression Which
406 RECORDS OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE THE BUILDING OF WINSLOW HALL The compression which Lysons had to apply to his "Magna Britannia" saved him from pitfalls; thus in speaking of Winslow he merely remarked: "Mr. Selby has a seat at Winslow which was built by Secretary Lowndes in the year 1700" (p. 668). When Lipscomb wrote forty years later he was less cautious, for after mentioning the " commodious plain brick edifice with a flight of several steps to the door, over which is the date of its erection, 1700', and the name of William Lowndes," he adds the fatal words "for whom it was built by Inigo Jones " (vol. III., p. 544). Sheahan blindly copied this blunder, Gibbs swal- lowed it in his usual easy way, the Dictionary of National Biography (art. Lowndes) fared no better, and a host of lesser lights went on repeating it until it occurred to someone that as Inigo Jones died in 1652 he could hardly have had much to do with the matter. Mr. A. Clear, Winsiow's latest and best historian, saw the trap, and ascribed the house either to Wren or to Yanbrugh, who was brought into the neighbourhood when he designed the County Hall at Aylesbury. The matter may have been brought nearer to a decision by the discovery of a full and most detailed account of the construction drawn up by, or for, the famous "Ways and Means Lowndes" himself. This is a foolscap book (14 inches by 9 inches), bound in the original parchment covers, with tape fastenings; the watermark of the paper is a fleur de lys sur- mounted by a crown, and with the initials W.

The Rural White Paper in 2000 provided the Government’s intention to encourage parish councils to take greater responsibility for administering their own affairs and influencing and shaping the future development of their communities through the preparation of parish plans. Funding to help parishes to cover the cost of producing these plans was provided via the Government to be supervised by the Countryside Agency, who in turn channeled those funds through to county councils, who then distributed them to parishes that were committed to produce parish plans. Parish plans are organised through parish councils, but delegated to another group. In Mursley that task was delegated to a Steering Group representing all ages and generations living in the Parish at the time. Bucks Community Action Group have advised us there are approximately 1400 Parish Plans being formulated or completed in England. In Buckinghamshire alone (not including the Unitary Authority of Milton Keynes) there are 54 Parishes that are actively working on Parish Plans, which equates to 32.7% of the population of Buckinghamshire.
