  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • HS2 Draft Environmental Statement Buckinghamshire Councils
    HS2 Draft ES: response of the Buckinghamshire Councils HS2 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Buckinghamshire Councils response part 3 CFA 10 Dunsmore, Wendover and Halton The area is within the Chilterns AONB – a nationally recognised and protected landscape. We feel, however, that the draft ES does not fully recognise this and suggests poor and inadequate mitigation. There are serious concerns about the impact of the maintenance loop on this community area; a concern compounded by the fact that no noise assessment has been carried out. There is also serious concern about the disruption that will be caused by HGV traffic in the area, particularly with regards to the use of some of the narrower, more rural roads. The impact of construction and operation on the setting of grade II* listed buildings within Wendover are not adequately assessed – particularly in the case of St Mary’s church, an active place of worship within 200m of the green tunnel portal. Comments on Part B: Description of the proposed scheme 2.2.2 We are concerned about impact of the maintenance loop on the wider landscape. There is very little information on the visual appearance and operation of the maintenance loop given. 2.2.5 Further, the HS2 route and maintenance loop will be on an embankment in this area increasing its visibility. We are concerned about the impact of this in particular since the draft ES suggests that Risborough Road over bridge would rise to 15m. Appropriate assessment of the visual impact and mitigation is crucial but currently not included in the draft ES.

  • Peasants, Peers and Graziers: the Landscape of Quarrendon In
    PEASANTS, PEERS AND GRAZIERS: THE LANDSCAPE OF QUARRENDON, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, INTERPRETED PAUL EVERSON The medieval and later earthworks at Quarrendon, surveyed by staff of the former Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now English Heritage), are described and interpreted. They reveal a sequence of major land-use phases that can be related coherently to topographical, documentary and architectural evidence. The earliest element may be the site of St Peter's church, located alongside a causeway. The evidence for its architectural development and decline is assem- bled. The site of a set of almshouses in the churchyard is identified. In the later medieval period, there were two separate foci of settlement, each similarly comprising a loose grouping of farmsteads around a green. It is argued that these form components of a form of dispersed settlement pattern in the parish and wider locality. Following conversion for sheep, depopulation and engrossment by the Lee family, merchant graziers of Warwick, a 16th-century moated country mansion was created, with accompanying formal gardens, warren and park. This was one of a group of residences in Buckinghamshire and north Oxfordshire of Sir Henry Lee, creator of the Accession Day tournaments for Elizabeth I and queen's champion. A tenanted farm, its farmhouse probably reusing a retained fragment of the earlier great house, replaced this house. The sites of agricultural cottages and oxpens of an early modern regime of grazing and cattle fattening are identified. In discussion, access and water supply to the great house, and the symbolism of the formal gardens, almshouses and warren are explored.
