FROM THE EDITOR The weathermen promised a great summer this year but somehow again they seemed to predict incorrectly, perhaps we might get an Indian Summer or just a few good days to remember within the next few weeks before the dark nights truly draw in. On that note if you spot a streetlight out please report it to the acting Parish Clerk, Mrs Henson, so that she can get the contractors onto it quickly, either by phone on 883845 or by email to [email protected], please remember to quote the column number as well because this makes it very simple to exactly identify which light requires attention. As usual contributions for the December issue need to be with me earlier than the other Editions with the cut off being 9th November, also please note the email address to which these need to be sent has changed to [email protected] Finally should anyone wish to help with the delivery of Clarion your assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you can spare a little time to help only four times a year please contact me.

A number of missing footpath and bridleway links were highlighted in the Lane End Parish Plan. These outlined the demand for safe walking, cycling and horse riding routes in and around the village. One route included a safe negotiation along the B482 to create a link between Widdenton Park Wood and Moor Wood. Indeed, the magnificent walks booklet, ‘10 Walks around the 5 Ends’, published by the Lane End Youth and Community Centre, was unable to create a route between these areas because of the large volume of fast traffic on the Marlow Road. Two paths out of these woods were effectively dead-ends. Local walker and resident, Ross Osborn and Jonathan Clark from the Council’s Rights of Way Group, met the landowner, Lord Parmoor, to discuss a possible route on the south side of the road. After a site visit and cup of tea at the farm house, the owner kindly gave permission for a path through his wood. A small sleeper bridge was installed and a path cleared through the undergrowth to create a surprisingly bright and pleasant walk. The Parish’s ‘Simply Walk’ group have already been using the path. Barbara Ewing, one of the walk leaders, said, “This wonderful new path will open up many more circular walks around the south-east of Lane End where few people previously walked. It also allows a far safer crossing of the B482. We are extremely grateful to Lord Parmoor and Buckinghamshire County Council Rights of Way for making this path possible.” A Victorian snuff box has even been found along the route! Discarded from a horse drawn carriage trundling up to the village from Marlow? Jonathan Clark.

Once again a very successful show! No matter what your participation we thank you all, for without you there would be no show. Forward to 2010 and next years show we ask “If any of you would like to join our Society Committee please let any committee member know. You will be most welcome.” Now safely back in the Potting Shed preparing and storing the fruits of our efforts we raise a glass and wish you all Happy Gardening. Hon. Secretary 6 Celebrating Chilterns’ Wildlife “Celebrating Chilterns Wildlife” is the theme of the exhibition, which Frieth Natural History Society is presenting on Sunday October 25th in Frieth Village Hall from 12 noon to 4pm. The Chilterns provide the habitats to support a lot of wonderful wildlife and there will be extensive displays of this, including some live exhibits. You can chat to the local wildlife and conservation organisations who are taking part and find out what they are doing for our local wildlife and also discover if you could help them. Whether you are interested in birds, bees, butterflies, wildflowers, dormice, reptiles, pond life, fungi, moths or whatever else there will be much to see and do for all the family with a special section for children. If you want a sit down, there will be videos of local wildlife showing all afternoon. There will also be home baked refreshments on offer and wildlife related items for sale. Admission is £2 for adults and free for children. Do come along to the exhibition for a friendly, informative and enjoyable experience of discovery about our local Chilterns’ wildlife. Please put the date in your diary and if you want further information ring Alan Gudge on 881464. Thinking of fostering? In Buckinghamshire there is a shortage of foster carers. More are needed so that children and young people in care can be placed closer to their community and maintain vital links with family and friends. We are looking for people with a spare room, along with the skills and experience to meet the needs of the children and young people - no formal qualifications needed. We need carers from a wide range of backgrounds and life experience who can provide a safe, warm environment. You can apply to foster regardless of your age, marital status, sexuality or residential status. Foster carers receive professional support and will be provided with an allowance to cover the needs of the child or young person in your care. If you would like more information regarding fostering a child or young person, please call the Buckinghamshire Family Placement Recruitment Team on 01296 382 555 or visit www.buckscc.gov.uk/fostering 7 VILLAGE HALL DIARY Friday 2nd October Evening Holy Trinity 50/50 Auction Saturday 3rd October Morning Twinning Association Coffee Shop Friday 9th October 7.30p.m. Day Centre Quiz th Saturday 17 October 10a.m. Holy Trinity Coffee Shop Friday 16th October ) Saturday 17th October ) Evening LEP Autumn Production Friday 23rd October ) Saturday 24th October ) Friday 30th October 7.45pm Holy Trinity Whist Evening Saturday 31st October Morning Methodists’ Table -Top Sale Friday 6th November Evening Conservation Group A.G.M.

Background 1.1 Wycombe District Council is currently progressing work on preparing a new planning framework, including a new Local Plan for the District. This work comprises a range of studies to explore options for accommodating new development requirements. 1.2 As part of the Council’s technical work which has already taken place, particularly as part of the Local Plan Options Consultation in 2014, it has already become clear that the requirements for new development are likely to be considerably higher than previous targets. Consequently the Council is likely to be faced with significantly greater challenges in terms of finding options to meet these needs. 1.3 To put this into context, the Council’s Adopted Core Strategy was based on a housing target of 402.5 new homes per annum, a quantum which was capable of being delivered predominantly through brownfield development and the limited pool of greenfield reserve sites in the south of the District. The early indication of significantly higher growth levels in the District means, however, that for the first time in many years, there is the prospect of a significant level of greenfield development being required to be explored in the Local Plan, to help meet the District’s development requirements.

  • Historical Notes, Timeline and Previous Occupants of Upper Goddards Farm, Skirmett December 2020
    1 Historical Notes, Timeline and Previous Occupants of Upper Goddards Farm, Skirmett December 2020 (v13) 2 Historic England Listing for Upper Goddards Farm (UGF)1: The listing is Grade II and the details are summarised as follows: House, C17, altered and refronted C18 – C19 and C20. Rear has lower walls of flint with timber framing and whitewashed brick infill above. Front rebuilt in brick at various dates. Old tile roof, chimney of thin brick between the right bays, another brick chimney to rear. C19 gabled flint and brick projection to front. Floorplan of Existing Main Building: Origin of Name: Goddard is an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. Variants exist in France, Holland and Germany 2. Why it was originally used for Upper & Lower Goddards is not known. The HE website gives 275 listed buildings in England using the name Goddards. Early Records Used: We have identified records at The National Archives (TNA) referring to ‘Goddards’ going back to litigation in the mid-1500’s. Again in the early 1600’s certain Deeds refer to ‘the ancient farm of Goddards Farm’. The earliest formal parish registers date from 1538 after the split from Rome and local registers at Hambleden date from shortly that time. However addresses are not normally included. Wills if made can be very informative and may well include addresses and family relationships. After 1838 civil registration records are available and from 1841 census details with addresses can be consulted. The latest census available is for 1911. A range of genealogical sources have also been consulted.
